    I don't know about you guys, but Jason Smith just became one of my favorite players.

    It was a hard foul but Griffin embelished the crap out of it by flopping.....Flagarent 2, yes.

    Suspension, maybe 1 game.

    To be fair, no one cares about crimes against gingers.

    Blake Griffin's macho-feminine act is a joke. He needs to decide if he wears pants or a skirt and then stick to it. There is a reason opposing players despise him and the in-your-face dunks are only part of it.

    Whatever. I don't see that as a flagrant 2. He didn't tackle him. He just ran in his way and Griffin flopped like a p***y that he is. Griffin is quickly becoming my least favorite player in the NBA. It doesn't help that he went to OU.

    Blake Griffin fouls himself, I'm convinced he exaggerated that contact at the expense of his own health. It's not like he hasn't done that before.

    That pretty bad. I think a 1-game suspension is warranted. Griffin may be a little annoying, but still you can't go ramming into players like that.

    lol @ blaming Griffin.

    Half of you whine about what Fisher did to Scola and this was worst than that.

    Fisher on scola was much worse, Fisher deliberately clocked Scola, here Smith basically just ran into Griffin.

    probably will get a game or two suspension because its griffin

    but it begs into the question will stern suspend his own players??


    also that is a good hard foul in my book - flagrant 1 - fine call it but honestly doesnt merit a suspension imo he wasnt going for his head and just body checked griffin.

    the announcer saying: "that could be a season-ending injury!"

    really? :rolleyes:

    a hard foul, maybe an ejection, but no suspension.

    and yep blake griffin exaggerated the contact.

    Given Blake's track record that's a flop

    Almost as good as Andre Miller's body check.

    I don't hate Griffin. He plays rough and gets under a lot of player's skin. If that's your M.O., you should stand your ground when someone ho checks you like that. How are you gonna lay on the ground after someone like Jason Smith does that to you

    But it was a hard foul, flagrant 2, but I doubt Blake was even remotely hurt.

    Blake should just be glad Smith didn't do that after he got airborne.
