    In all seriousness, I thought about the girl angle. What could lead a man to lose his mind and punch a friend? Sex, conventional or otherwise.

    Oh good, the NBA is interviewing Deandre Jordan about the incident. I'm sure a guy who's a good friend of Blake's (and the equipment dude) will be verrrry forthcoming about what exactly happened. SMDH.

    Try interviewing a witness who's not employed by the clips, maybe?

    This thing has been spun out of control by the media. Testi worked the next day in the game vs Toronto. This doesn't sound like a man who was pummelled by a 6'10" beast with huge hands. Not only was he not injured, he wasn't even mentally impacted or hung over enough to go to work the next day. A friend of mine just ran into Testi in Hollywood this week and said he didn't even have any bruises on his face. Blake and Testi are just members of fight club and the first rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club. Testi was also part of the whole Deandre party in this last offseason so he's totally a member of the Blake/Deandre entourage which explains why the Clippers are so underachieving the last few years.

    The Clippers are 13-3 without Blake Griffin, and, in that stretch, Josh Smith got only mop up minutes in like 3 games. He was literally the 12th man off the bench when Doc Rivers had mercy on him and traded him to a team that would actually give him minutes. The Clippers main issues were that they had a bunch of guys that are used to getting a lot of minutes and asking them to come off the bench and do spot service. This has caused several of these guys to struggle and, with Blake out this long period, it's helped some of them (esp. Paul Pierce and Wes Johnson) get going.

    So if a man hits his wife and there aren't any bruises and she can go to work the next day then it was no big deal? :confused:

    over a week later? That looks pretty bad. He must have missed and hit a column like the gif on the other page.

    Was it really the guy inthe video that blake tries to pull his head into his crotch that was involved?

    Maybe Blake bullies him and or takes things too far with him and the trainer finally had enough and swung or something to get blake to swing back?

    Sorry if the story is already out, i haven't followed this at all.

    I'd assume this is the opposite of when the Clippers would entertain trade talks for Blake. It would be selling at his lowest value. It would make sense for them to wait til he's playing and posting big numbers again.
