my implication was that blake plays the mean post game without conviction. he's not prepared for the kind of game post defenders will bring to him in the crunch. he's ticky tack fouling on every play (like everyone does) but not a force.

the (much less talented) guy who fouled him is gonna get punished later on but is still blocking shots at the end of a win against another contender.

it's why blake doesn't look like a champion or an mvp to me.

i would have been okay if he got angry and gone out with some fouls of consequence. i would have been okay if he smartened up and said "ok now they're definitely watching, i need to help my team win here." he chose to grab some jerseys and halfpush thabo on his way to the bench and the l.
