[QUOTE=SinJackal]lol, what is with this thread? Chalmers was the one starting shit. Griffin is supposed to act like a p[I]u[/I]ssy when someone gets in his face because he's a rookie? No.[/QUOTE]
Yet if this thread were about Kobe and I said his actions were inexcusable you'd be 100 percent behind it so STFU and don't deny it
OK, maybe Griffin over-stepped his boundaries. But what concerns me more is that LeBron/Wade(league vets and team leaders) didn't do sh*t! They didn't back their team mate up, and they didn't check Griffin. So who is worse?

Griffin didn't overstep shit; when you have Heat fans saying that Griffin was not in the wrong, you know the entire argument is bogus.
Wade/James couldn't back up Chalmers because he was already hiding behind LeBron as soon as Griffin merely looked in his direction.
Chalmers get in an altercation every game where he plays over 15 minutes.......and usually comes out on the losing end
Blake Griffin should show Mario Chalmers more respect?
:facepalm

OK then Griffin didn't over-step anything, either way it's whatevs to me, I just find it funny that they wanted NO piece of Griffin :oldlol: . I have to say that Griffin is pretty intimidating when he gets serious.
I agree, not inexcusable but it was wrong, but well Blake Griffin can dunk in exciting ways, which elevates him to sainthood on ISH. Theres 5 threads praising him on the front page right now, while Kevin Love who is playing just as well if not better has zero.
I thought griffin pulled a garnett but after watching the vid this is nothing.People wont remember this 2 weeks from now.

Being a rookie has a huge effect on that. When a rookie averages 20 ppg, it's much more significant than a 3rd year player doing something similar. Love is on a losing team, so not as many people care. Griffin's also on a losing team, but people expect that because he's a rookie.
BLAKE GOT A TECHNICAL BECAUSE HE ANGRILY WALKED TOWARDS SOMEONE. THIS IS INEXCUSABLE BECAUSE HE IS ONLY A FIRST YEAR PLAYER.
wot.

typically we could catagorize players with less experience and athletic prowls and say yep Coach Brown always said Rooks stay on the bench and learn... next year we'll find minutes for you...
But some of these athlete's that come out of college , not doing a full 4 years are already beyond their years in BBall IQ.
Griffin sat on the bench all of last year ... I don't think he was just pickin' his nose .. he's smart , and learns quick.
In a nut shell - he is a beast and his upside is bottomline awesome.

Kevin is a blue collar no flash get the job done guy, while Blake is power and nastiness with a blue collar attitude. They are both fantastic young players, but it doesn't take much thought to see why Blake has garnered more attention.
This is a grown man's game. The hell you talking about "Rookies shouldnt come hard" **** outta here with that.
hell no. this is entertainment at the end of the day. we want to see some passion and energy. Griffin has earnt his place on the hardwood.
