In a game where Blake Griffin hit his head on the backboard foam while hammering an alley-oop, got his face all wrapped up in the net while executing a double-pump reverse slam, and scored 31 points… my favorite moment was the dunk that he missed:
You could see this one coming as soon as he rolled towards the basket. DeJuan Blair opted to cut off Eric Gordon, leaving Blake Griffin with a lane to the basket. Tiago Splitter, who had just checked into the game, had apparently not been watching Griffin scrape the guy repeatedly over the course of the first 28 minutes and 37 seconds of the game… because for some reason he decided that it would be a good idea to step up and try to draw a charge. Blake Griffin exploded off the floor as if he had rocket boosters in his sneakers, cocked it back, and–wait, why am I even describing this? You just watched the video, you saw what happened. Splitter came within inches of becoming the next Mozgov. Foreign white-skinned stiffs, beware. Blake Griffin is coming for you.
