If Blake Griffin is the main story, then Eric Gordon is the running subplot, George Costanza to Blake’s Jerry Seinfield. Had Blake Griffin not burst onto the Clipper scene this year, Gordon would have been the main story. However, Eric Gordon was never meant to be the main plot, but the strong subpl[...]

  Usually, we sophisticated NBA blogger types try to avoid superlatives, those words like “most” and “best” and “worst” that indicate the ultimate degree of something.
