Realistically he's still not going to be a guy you would want to play minutes in important games, but he's far suprassed what I thought he'd be when he got his run.
Why cant he play minutes in important games?
Last night was an important game. On the road, going against the top team in the west and going against one of the top big men in the league. Griffin did great!
I don't really see how he can play in last night's game but can't play in important games.
It's obvious at this point that there was just a false narrative that Blake was completely cooked, which clearly isn't true. Sure he's not the Blake from 10 years ago and his minutes need to be managed but he's effectively not all that much different than Horford. He's the perfect player to platoon with Horford in the regular season and should be his first backup off the bench in the playoffs.
