Blake Griffin is MVP of the playoffs thus far

Blake Griffin has taken his game to a new level in the playoffs. Griffin is averaging 25.4 points, 13.4 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks per game. Griffin has recorded a double-double in all nine playoff games, including three triple-doubles. With Chris Paul out for the first two games of the series against the Houston Rockets, Griffin has also become more of a vocal leader in the huddle.

With that in mind, columnist Michael Scotto of SheridanHoops.com joined Yahoo! Sports Radio host Geoff Kethcum to discuss the rise of Griffin, Paul’s injury and the rest of the playoffs.
