Hey, I think Griffin is a ridiculous, posturing, fake tough guy flopper. I just don’t think him getting slapped in the balls is a good example of it. And I don’t take it personally. Woosah, my man.

Fake tough guys? I don’t understand the reference because they never back down from anyone; in fact, they get in each other’s faces as much as they do other people’s faces, so I’m not sure what that is supposed to mean…When have you seen them back down to anyone?

And I’m not defending Ibaka: I’m an OKC fan and I thought that was a dirty play, but he never does things like that and I’m not gonna go crazy about it, and for what it’s worth, Blake Griffin was going down like he got shot every time someone bumped him so I can understand the frustration with it

You can not hold another player down by his jersey.

Ibaka was not aiming for Griffins crotch, he was using his forearm on Griffins forearm, to free himself so he could get a ” rebound ” .

It was not his intent to injure or hurt Griffin, it was his intent to get loose of Griffin’s foul.

Conclusions:
1) Griffin should be assessed a flagrant for initiating contact that led to a flagrant.
2) Griffin should be fined for flopping.
3) Ibaka should have to tour kindergartens telling kids to stay in school and join the military when they graduate so that they can carry out the orders of the Tuesday kill list on kindergarteners in other countries.

You may all go comment on the other posts now.

Chaw has a point in that in the video it is clear that Griffin was pulling Ibaka’s jersey from the release of the shot, but as this happens in every game, probably every possession, the appropriate response is not a karate chop to the sack or any where for that matter.

And RB obviously means rebounds. Not sure how a banshee cheats though. And if Griffin wasn’t having similar fouls, shirt grabbing, pushing, etc., committed against him he would probably have more rebounds than he does now in a “clean” game, the man can jump.

Dang man, are you blind ??

Serge is trying to get Griffin’s hand off his jersey. Or is that not allowed ? The NBA rules say Griffin can hold a jersey and the player can’t react ?

Ibaka is using his forearm to beat Griffins hand off his jersey.

This is soooo obvious. Only homer Clipper fans can not see what’s happening.

How can Griffin get away with holding jersey’s ? Is he protected by the league and the refs ??

Incredible how much the guy cheats . If he played by the rules, he would be an average player.

Raise the net a foot and see how great Flake is. Only thing he’s got is the dunks. And the Cheapness!
