I understand where both sides are coming from, but I think Lamar did over react. Not to patronize Blake but dude, such is the attitude of most youngsters. He should have just let go.

I’m elated with the recent developments concerning the Clippers. I would love to see a Lakers-Clippers showdown in the playoffs.

On another note, que sera sera. Laker-haters always hate for the wrong reason. And so they end up with silly semantics and rhetoric like your proverbial diatribes in a kindergarten sandlot. I guess it comes with the territory if your franchise has 16 championships and a perennial playoff if not title contender.

So, how many trophies does your franchise (outside the Celtcs) have?

Envy, my friend, is such a B!@tch.

You sound like a guy who only gets his LA information from TMZ or People.. Either it’s jealousy or bitterness.. I hope your only 12 years old or something…otherwise I have no explanation for your silly rants..

Kurt Helin who wrote this article has a very bad and biased point of view. This is a very horrible article. It is true that Blake Griffin was playing aggressively, but when does he not?

Also, if you look at the video it doesn’t show Lamar Odom pulling Blake Griffin along with him under the basket. It clearly shows that Lamar grabs Blake Griffin by the shirt AFTER the aggressive play and tosses him aside.

This is a PROFESSIONAL sports and the game doesn’t end until the buzzer rings. All Blake Griffin did was play hard until the end. What is so wrong with that? Just because Lamar couldn’t handle Blake’s power and was pushed aside doesn’t give Lamar the right to pull Blake’s shirt and toss him aside. This is very unsportsmanlike and I am very disappointed in the Lakers.

If you do not have enough sense or even the brains to look at what happened, then you do not have the right to even write an article and post it up. This article is very unprofessional and it is poorly written. I think you need to look at the facts and give an unbiased opinion, rather than letting your emotions and thoughts spout all these nonsense.

Gee whiz. There was no intended comparison. Get off your soapbox. I lived in Evanston during the early part of the Bull’s success, then near the Deerfield practice facility. I only cited both names because Kobe actually said what I mentioned, and from what I know of my days of having season tix in the old Chicago stadium, MJ would have said the same. Kobe is not, never was, and never will be the kind of lock-down defender as Michael, which made MJ a complete ballplayer, not just a scorer for whom they have to sign a defensive wingman, like the Lakers did with Artest. To his credit, Bryant is far more creative of a scorer, who didn’t rely on a less expansive set of pet moves like Jordan did. Anybody who was sober and saw Griffin abusing Gasol on the post in the second half of yesterday’s game would have agreed the Lakers got punked. If Brad Sellers would have brought the same kind of ferocity to the Bulls back in the late 80s the Bulls championship count would have been higher, as they could have answered the Pistons better.

Progress2011 – You made the comparison, I didn’t. Let’s put the argument down and back slowly away…

Why laker fans like to link everything kobe does or say to MJ is HILARIOUS ! People living in la-la land / land of plastic body parts and plastic people are the only people that attempt to make the comparison. Check the stats on your own time but a few are:

MJ- 6 rings, he was the MVP on every Championship team !

Kobe – 5 rings, 3 of the rings Shaq was the MVP and it was Shaq’s team. The other 2 rings, the complimentary players had to win the games.

Kobe is the best scorer since MJ and it’s fair to compare him to Magic, Bird, Dr. J, Isiah, Dominique, Drexler etc.

But he is not comparable to the greatest player to ever lace up a pair of sneakers. No one is yet.

STOP THE MADNESS !!!

I absolutely love the the fact that the commissioner outlawed crying !!! The lakers are the worst Cry baby, pre-madona, plastic, M.C. Hammer pants wearing ponks !!!
Before the new rule was implemented, EVERY play down the court, if the lakers didn’t score, they would cry to the ref all the way down the court and basically bully the refs to make the call the next time ( since they are one of the biggest markets, they use that leverage ).

Now that they can’t cry and whine to the refs ( kobe with the fake scowl ) when they start to lose, they play dirty or pretend they want to fight ( fully knowing none of the girlymen truly want to fight ).

Griffin abused lamar all night and after the Clippers took the lead, the girls in yellow got their panties all in a wad !

Ahahahahahaha…..true ponks !!!

Kobe didn’t have an issue with Griffin’s play. He admitted that Griffin punked the Lakers and stated that you play until the final buzzer. MJ would have admitted that privately.

Clippers over the Lakers is only LAC’s latest example of being the league’s Giant Killers this year. Check out their resume:

The league should rescind Blake Griffin’s ejection. He was abused by Lamar Odom and showed absolutely zero reaction. Baron Davis was the one that reacted. It doesn’t impact the end of the game, but I wouldn’t want an ejection on my record.
