On Wednesday, Warriors guard Klay Thompson called Clippers forward Blake Griffin out for flopping and playing "kind of out of control sometimes."

"He is a good guy off the court but he probably just ... I mean ... plays pretty physical and flops a little bit," Thompson told The Wheelhouse on 95.7 The Game radio in San Francisco.

"He flairs his arm around so you know you might catch a random elbow or something that doesn't you know rub off too well on guys," Thompson said. "He's kind of like a bull in a china shop, kind of out of control sometimes. And then you do just see him flop sometimes like how can a guy that big and strong flop that much.

"I can see how that gets under people's skin and be frustrating to play against."

Golden State's one of the toughest teams in the league, outside of probably Steph.

How can you be "soft" but be one of the best defenses in the West?

This same question applies to the Clippers this year. They didn't play like a "soft" team this year.

Bogut shits on Griffin

I didn't say they played bad defense I said they were soft. Totally unrelated things. Except Bogut that's a softy team and even he's kinda soft. Their coach is the champion of soft.

When has blake ever hit someone with an elbow? Serious question, maybe it's happened but not that I've seen

The **** are you talking about? How is Golden State soft?

It's always funny to let posters reveal for themselves how little basketball they watch in relevance to their particular "analysis"

[STATUTORY]

it's cause of his smug/deadpan demeanor. dude's the bill murray of NBA

[oarabbus]

I've never seen Griffin really throw an elbow though

He doesn't throw elbows like Malone did but he gets too hyphy and hits guys. His technical (which shouldn't have been a tech, tbh) yesterday on Mozgov is a good example of what Klay is talking about.

Was BG malicious in his intent? No. Was he way too hyphy? yeah

Yeah Bogut, Draymond Green, and Jermaine O'Neal don't bring any toughness



edit: misunderstood what you were saying, nvm
