Steve Blake has been bad on both ends of the court over the last month. I'll have to go pull his defensive stats pretty soon, already saw them the other day (for the season and for the month of April). The offensive numbers are obviously below where he should be, especially his shooting (40% is pathetic when he's getting spoon-fed wide-open jumpers all the time), but yeah...

Oh I agree with your statement. Glad you separated yourself from the ignorant who call him trash. Overall during his career he has been an average backup.I'm not blind to his performance while he was playing on other teams, but he's really nothing impressive. He was average in Portland, average for the Clippers, and has been below average for us. I don't care about what he's done throughout his career, only what he does for us. So far, he hasn't done much in two years.
I don't need to watch 8 years worth of Steve Blake footage to realize that he's a below average point guard.

Steve kerr doesnt do his homework at all, he is just a stats guy.
Steve-o, i love him, he is one of my personal favorites but im not gonna defend him blindly. He has been awful after his rib injury and is not the man he was before. But youve to admit it, he puts the effort in this playoffs, andre miller is the one that burns us every time and steve-o, including mamba, was the only one to really contain him both of last couple games. İ like his effort, his defensive intensity but i just dont get why he is still so uncomfortable. He uses a pick, drives to the basket and instead of layup, he gets out and runs again. He is so uneffective and wastes a lot of 24. When he uses a fake and a flyby, he takes the long jumper and seems comfortable doing it. But driving, he just seems scared, even with no one around he makes a bad pass or gets out and calls for another pick. İ just dont get him and dont think he is changing that. He has the range, he has the vision and in fact is very fast. He is just not athletic in terms of vertical and doesnt know how to use his speed.
Keep raining those 3's though and that will be mission accomplished for you, we dont expect anything other than that

I didn't see it personally but one of my friends told me that Marv Albert postgame called him Steve "Kerr" Blake. Steve Kerr had to laugh and pretend he wasn't offended

Blake couldn't guard Andre Miller last night.
There was a moment this season and the entire season before where every PG could create dribble penetration on D Fish and/or Blake.
Half that problem was solved. The other half is now more noticeable than ever because they attack him 100% of the time.

Blake plays terrible defense. Old man Andre Miller just abused his ass in game 5.. i mean how hard can it be to stay in front of a guy who is an average shooter.
If an offensive player goes around Blake and attacks the rim, Steve doesn't seem to care, he just jogs behind him. Also, shooting piss poor 36% fg in the playoffs while being spoon fed by Kobe, Bynum and Gasol is straight horrible. Go work on your [expletive] Buzz.

Well Blake hit some timely shots and had good offensive outputs in 3 out of the 7 games. I truthfully didn't even expect that much so props to him. If he can continue to make those wide open 3's, it will do wonders for the Lakers in the second round.
