10 bucks says Zach Randolph doesn't get punished for this bush league play

[Clippersfan86]

:facepalm WTF is this? Griffin making a basketball play trying to box out and Randolph hits him dirty like this? I'm willing to bet league doesn't do anything about it. I mean 3 refs were close by and turned a blind eye to it not even calling a foul. After game 6 in the tunnels I have people who were telling me that Randolph was talking a bunch of shit to fans with stuff like "**** LA, This is Memphis bitch" etc. I'm EXTREMELY happy that Zach is now crying in his bed.

[tpols]

:oldlol:

Damn.. almost a KO.

[Heavincent]

Blake deserved it. I'm not a Clippers hater, but Blake has pulled similar shenanigans.

[LBJMVP]

who the f*ck cares?

its game seven of a playoff series.... you dont wanna be physical, then you end up on the bench in the 4th quarter.

[Clippersfan86]

Blake deserved it. I'm not a Clippers hater, but Blake has pulled similar shenanigans.

When has Griffin EVER punched somebody like that? Good luck finding anything.

And you just ignore the Blake elbow to Zbo's face...
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[qrich]

Hope you can catch fish Z-Bo

[DuMa]

i loved that wasnt a no-call. that game was gritty as most 90s playoff games were. it brought me back to being a kid and watching dirty fouls and shoving and pushing and a lot of nocalls. thats playoff basketball at its finest. its a man's game. it makes the made points look much better because it was earned the hard way.

:lol

True but it was a cheap shot. Nothing manly about it. It was a coward move. No reason to act like that.

[TylerOO]

Ahahahahahahaha griffin got bitched

[ZenMaster]

Blake trying a clean box out?

So at the part where you can't see Zbo's head, where do you think Griffin's elbow is?

Using his arm/elbow to hold a player off on a boxout is NOT throwing an elbow. If Griffin threw an elbow Zach would of been on the floor :facepalm . Zach has done plenty of that all series and I didn't complain. I'm okay with those two wrestling, holding etc. What isn't cool is that one player gets away with a straight up punch and it's not even called a foul.

Stopped reading, clearly in homer mode. Boxout elbow my ass.

Meh, Griffin wants to wrestle and elbow etc he can take some back IMO.

Sticking your elbow in somebodys face isn't nice, I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate it either.

Zbo's trying to rebound and you put your elbow in his face, obviously he's gonna get mad and react, he's not a flopper.

[upside24]

Blake has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way so Z-Bo smacking him in the face doesn't bother me too much.

You're not getting it. Zach and Blake have been trading physical plays, elbows, shoves etc all series. To throw a full powered punch like this at a players head though? Way out of line. At the end of the day though the Clippers had the last laugh.

[Sarcastic]

As if I didn't like Griffin enough.

[G-train]

Hope you can catch fish Z-Bo

Griffin can join him in the near future. :confusedshrug:

Someone's not getting it alright. You won the freaking series, da hell are you crying about? Blake got beat the fukk up, but his team still won, why does this thread exist?

Dude thats not a full powered punch, get over it. Griffin been dogging it all season, elbowing, cheap shotting around basket, flopping like Odens dick. As you said, take the win.

[qrich]

Griffin can join him in the near future. :confusedshrug:

So can every player sans for 12-15 :confusedshrug:

Point?

Zach Randolph should start the season with a 2-3 game suspension and if it happened to a Heat player or a team the league actually likes, he would be. The point is refs didn't call an incredibly dirty, punch thrown and likely won't even punish him. When was the last time you saw another player throw a punch and connect like this that DIDN'T lead to an ejection?

[Tenchi Ryu]

:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm
I'm done....

Wait so you think punching a player in the head like that shouldn't be penalized at all? Go watch Hockey fa*got.

[mans1ay3r]

First thing I saw was Zbo bent over forward with Blake's elbow pushing him down. So like a man, Zbo then said get the fck off with his forearm to Blake's face. What's the problem.

[kurt_rambis]

griffin was playing physical basketball

randolph punched him out of anger lol

people are so blinded by their hate of blake they can't even acknowledge when he gets punched in the face :roll:

Grow some fukkin nuts. Griffin wanted to play physical ball, and Zbo responded with the forearm shove. And once again, you keep downplaying the shit Griffin was doing all series. He came in letting it be known he wanted to play physical, and that's exactly what the fukk he got.

You probably one of the dumbasses that would poke a dog when a sign is clearly saying beware of dog, then get mad and confused when it bites your ass.

[GoRapz]

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: to ZBo

Btw that was still a flop by Griffin

You don't make any sense. Had Griffin been roughing up Randolph all series youmay havw a point but it didn't happen like that. Both players beat each other up all series. This is taking it a step way too far.

both randolph and griffin were playing physical the entire series. it got very chippy, as they say. it was very fun to watch

then randolph got frustrated by the physical play and punched blake in the face :roll:

No its not, its physical, emotional playoff basketball. Blake didn't come out injured, and isn't bitching about it now, so why should you? The entire clippers team came out ready to get physical, so shit like this is to be expected. What you think is gonna happen when you get under someone's skin? Wanna shake hands?

And lets not even discuss how Evans got away with slick shit this series.

Just like game 4 where Zbo shoved him out of rage. If I was Griffin I would of laughed in his face after today. Glad to see outside of CP3 nobody shaking hands. **** Memphis.

[kurt_rambis]

all the complaining about how the refs are taking over the game blah blah blah....it's such bullshit. fans don't care if the refs suck, as long as they get their way

Again... Show me. Every big pushes, grabs, holds, trips etc. Show me where Evans or Griffin punched a Grizzlies player in the head like that? Randolph made a big mistake. Griffin is going to be a much better player and tougher player next season. Griffin is going to hust his as for the rest of Zach's career.

Ain't shit to show here, there is nothing to even see! Same with this gif you keep flashing about Griffin getting "punched". Its just physical basketball, a reaction from getting a elbow to the face which you CLEARLY keep dropping as not important. If thats the case, the entire sequence is not important. MOVE ON.

[d.bball.guy]

Z Bo's head getting pushed down by Blake's elbow. Definitely not a clean box out. ZBo just did that out of frustration at Blake's play.

Blake got hit but the fall was a bit exaggerated.

[Heavincent]

I'm with Tenchi Ryu. There should be more fights in the NBA, and the NBA should allow it. I'm sick of this pussified shit.

Exactly, if anything, the win should be that much sweeter for Clippers fans since it was hard earned. Why the need to complain? Just take the win and keep moving forward.

Because I have zero doubt in my mind that if Griffin did it he would have been ejected. I'd love more fights but a cheapshot on a guy with his head turned isn't a fight.

[The Macho Man]

Blake can't let a dude clothesline him like that.

[Clippersfan86]

Blake can't let a dude clothesline him like that.

Agree. He's paying the price for letting players punk him.

[Blue&Orange]

My god ish is such a educative site, today i learned about this boxout elbowing move and how it's legal.

...



























































...

[Clippersfan86]

Legal is a bad choice of word. Normal among bigs in the NBA though.

[kurt_rambis]

it looked like a foul, but in that series that kind of physicality was par for the course

then z-bo punched him in the face :roll:

[LBJMVP]

:roll:
full powered punch?
he hand wasn't even making a fist and it wasn't even close to full speed.
more like a push because blake was elbowing him in the head.

like i said before, if you dont wanna play physical then you end up on the bench during the fourth quarter.

[mjokc]

You sure as hell wouldn't be saying that if somebody Judo Chopped Lebron.

Fixed.

i would be ecstatic... i hate lebron.

Point?

same point as yours, not really one

:pimp:

[Derrick]

And you just ignore the Blake elbow to Zbo's face...
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
This. Although its a dirty play I would be throwing hands too if I had a elbow in my face. Double negative there.

[clayton]

So, where is my 10 bucks?

[NumberSix]

I dont see anything wrong with this. I mean, its Blake Griffin. He didnt even fake falling to the ground. How bad could it have been?

[d.bball.guy]

So, where is our 10 bucks?
Fixed

[brwnman]

what's bush league about it? Blake was fouling Z-Bo the entire time as he was holding him down if we want to get real technical about it. I like the no call; play on...

[devin112]

griffin was playing physical basketball

randolph punched him out of anger lol

people are so blinded by their hate of blake they can't even acknowledge when he gets punched in the face :roll:


This. Good point.

[ballup]

All I see is ZBo putting his hand on Griffin's shoulder. He just wanted to have a civilized talk about physical play.

How is that even a punch? His hand wasn't even in a form of a fist fist, that was a palm. Probably didn't even hit Griffin's face.

[reppy]

Because I have zero doubt in my mind that if Griffin did it he would have been ejected. I'd love more fights but a cheapshot on a guy with his head turned isn't a fight.

Do you have any evidence to back this up? You're acting like Blake Griffin = Ron Artest in the refs' eyes.

The refs were letting Memphis beat the shit out of LA the whole series. Fine. It turned into a physical series and LA was forced to adjust.

Randolph might have been held, shoved or elbowed on that play but what he did was take an angry swing at Blake Griffin. It should be looked at by the league and that fat motherf**ker should be suspended. Not much difference between that and what World Peace did except Peace landed his cleaner. There was anger behind that punch and if David Stern had any testicles he would address it severely.

And ZBo is a clown's name

[senelcoolidge]

The better team won. The Grizzlies are overrated and may look good on paper, but the Clippers are better. When a team has to go to bush tactics than you know that they know they can't beat the other team fairly. Karma will get Zbo some how.

[Crown&Coke]

And you just ignore the Blake elbow to Zbo's face...
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

came in to say this.
ZBo did pop Griff, but lets not forget he is elbowing him in the face and then pushes his face down with that same elbow

that game was physical, and neither team was bitching about the calls. That was one of the best playoff games I've seen in the first round in a long time. :applause: Even though both teams shot horribly

[Laimbeer_Rodman]

Says the guy who is rooting on the "Better team" which employs the nut-grabber, or as I like to call him, the MOST bush-league player in the NBA. :oldlol: In fact, he's paid 100% for his ability to annoy other players, plain and simple.

He also rescinded that statement and said he was wrong. Zach didn't :no: . Evans absolutely IS a dirty player in my opinion. But that's because of the subtle things he does like push, hold, trip etc. Normal rugged big man behavior. Bush League= throwing punches, elbows etc trying to hurt people. Which I've never seen him do.

This is an example of a dirty play but he wasn't trying to hurt anybody, more so get inside their head. It wouldn't surprise me if KG has grabbed people's nuts. It's no different than me watching 5-6 guys that have intentionally punched/slapped Griffin in the nuts. Same kind of deal except Evans likes to GRAB circular objects.

[Cali Syndicate]

Using his arm/elbow to hold a player off on a boxout is NOT throwing an elbow. If Griffin threw an elbow Zach would of been on the floor :facepalm . Zach has done plenty of that all series and I didn't complain. I'm okay with those two wrestling, holding etc. What isn't cool is that one player gets away with a straight up punch and it's not even called a foul.

Do you play basketball? Boxing out on the torso is okay. Boxing out with your elbows above your shoulder is means for retaliation. It's not like Blake is 6'3" here. Both the same size, Blake knew where his elbow was.

[LJJ]

All I see is Blake Griffin pulling bush league stuff and Zach Randolph retaliating like a man would.


If you suspend Zack for that, gotta suspend Griffin too. So just be happy if the league leaves this alone.

[DuMa]

OP and rest of thread agreeing with him are shit. bring back 90s physical basketball please!

[Horatio33]

If this was Orlando - Indiana you wouldn't be saying anything. Clipperfan86 you are allowed to post about other teams, and not always in a negative light.

This is what ball was like in the 80's/90's. Hate to see what you were saying in those decades. Oh yeah Clippers weren't in the playoffs much then. Oh yeah you only a Clippers fan when Griffin started blowing up.

[Nero Tulip]

OP, why don't you show the full play? You'll see that Griffin was the one grabbing Randolph, and the refs missed it.
