The Griffin one handed oop dunk over Evans was way better though.

Evans was behind him (helping on the PnR). If anything, Blake dunked over CJ and Sap (helping the helper).

It was still a better dunk though. (To tell you the truth, I didn't even know if Evans was in the game at the time. I just remember Griffins dunk to sick, wicked, and nasty.)

No disagreement here.
Both of Evans' dunks on the nba.com highlights were against Griffin. The second one was a posterization.

Were both of them in the recap video highlight? I only saw one. Mind sharing the link with me?

Thoughts after watching highlights:
1.CJ Miles' alley-oop dunk was started by a hard double-team and strip by Bell on a mismatch with Evans guarding Craig Smith in the post. That's a 4point swing and those are the little things Bell will bring to this team.
2. Loved the Evans facial on Griffin, I think it's apparent he's going to be playing PF in the 2nd-unit; he'll struggle with some matchups against post-players but will also be a matchup nightmare - could possibly make Bo Outlaw-type contributions this year.
3. I'm glad Blake Griffin is with a loser-franchise like the Clippers, because I'd hate to play against him on a team that knew what they were doing. If he stays healthy I'm not sure how you'll be able to guard him once he gets a jump shot and more polished post-game. Looks like a more powerful Amare Stoudemire with a brain.

Dude it's the ****ing pre-season. Why play if he's sore. Also they need to see what they have got behind him anyway.
That one hand Griffin dunk has to be one of the most impressive looking dunks Ive seen in a while. He is going to be a beast.
