Blake Griffin's actions last night was inexcusable

[QUOTE]In what sense? The guy calls me an idiot and I can't retaliate?
I've been mature when responded to maturely. You wouldn't be a little snippy if being provoked? C'mon now, I've seen less said to you and you've reacted.

Maybe that is how Griffen felt. Can't the guy be a little snippy in a basketball game and not get crapped on by fans. Seems like the same thing to me, just different situations. Maybe this should be enough to make you realize that this was overacting on your part to even make this thread.

lol that was absolutely nothing. Overreact much?

[QUOTE=DaHeezy]Rooks should have more class. Have a few more miles in the league before you try and pick fights on the court.[/QUOTE]And Chalmers has achieved what on the court to run his mouth and then ask for respect from a rookie? Being picked in the second round of the draft 3 years ago?


[QUOTE=DaHeezy]The guy calls me an idiot and I can't retaliate? You wouldn't be a little snippy if being provoked?[/QUOTE]Now try to apply what you just said to the Griffin-Chalmers incident.

I have to say this excerpt is at least a little ironic, considering the topic at hand.

And yes, I agree, I'm not sure if scuffles in basketball are ever necessary. But they happen. I know your argument is that rookies should not provoke them, but I'm not sure anyone should. I'm also not entirely sure we can directly compare professional basketball to say, professional teaching. In one of those arenas I can dunk on my coworkers. In the other, it is largely frowned upon.

And here is where your argument shoots itself in the foot.

[I]You[/I], the might 'DaHeezy' can retaliate to someone getting into your face, but god forbid Blake Griffin does because it shows 'immaturity and the inability to control himself.' Double standard, much?

Somewhere in this thread you said that Chalmers had nothing to do with this thread's inception.... again, another dissatisfying load of shit. If Chalmers doesn't open his mouth, Griffin doesn't have to go off on him and act all 'irresponsibly.'

Please run over to the NBA site and show me the rule where Griffin is not allowed to defend himself, and if he is, that he should defend himself in a manner similar to what you outlined. Have you ever played a competitive team sport? Hell, have you ever been as [B]good[/B] as Griffin was at anything in your life? Griffin's mental age is much higher than his physical one, and I'm sure this is painstakingly obvious to you. Griffin has the mind of a veteran- it is what makes him so good. So if Mario thinks that he can harass Griffin merely because he's "younger", well... there's always something to be said about finding out the hard way.

On that note, this pseudo veteran-superiority bullshit is just that: [U]bullshit[/U]. I don't remember people going off on Bynum for getting in Shaq's face after he got jammed on. If someone gets in your grill, you man up and settle it on the court, which Griffin did.

gg, OP.

If the heat think he is in violation of some rook rule, they can enforce the rule. Even if it is just some junk they made up. Bad Boy pistons would have. It is on them.

Blake Griffin did what any leader do. Take no shit and back up his teammates.

I've watched every Clipper game this year. Blake has been attacked by many players and is being hit so hard it's only natural he is going to go chest to chest with many players. Apparently you didn't see what went down between him and Gortat who is bigger than him. Gortat was playing him very rough and hitting him all game long and there was a lot of talk. Blake took it to Gortat and scored and left Gortot injured on the ground and Blake stayed standing over him looked down and said "get up, get up, get up", he had to be told by teammates to just let it go. He is very emotional on the court.

Blake is getting a lot of FT's but trust me, he deserves a ton more, he is getting hacked all game long and not getting the superstar respect from the refs yet.

Not since Shaq, Yao and Dwight have a seen a player get clobbered as often as Blake does. To imply that Blake only went after Mario because he was small is ridiculous, you haven't watched him play this year and seen what opposition is doing to him.

I became a fan. Any player that will directly back his shit up like that--I dig.

So a 6'10" 280lb PF should back down to a 6'1" 180lb PG because he's a rookie? :oldlol:


The only guy even physically capable of checking Griffin last night was LeBron... and LeBron wanted no part of it. In fact, LeBron didn't even show up last night... must have had a wild night.

Looking back at it, seems like Chalmers was even more annoying than I first thought. Annoying midget.

OP lost this one.

As long as Blake continues to play like he does he can do whatever the **** he likes for all I care.
