    Equipment manager bought Peter Pan peanut butter, when he asked for Jif.

    Clippers never get out of 2nd round because they're immature like Harden.

    How does this get handled? The guy is going to sue and not going to resign unless he gets an incredible package.

    Is there a chance they trade Griffin this summer?

    6'10 250+ pounds athletic and explosive and he broke his own hand punching someone's face? Dude that got hit either has a granite chin or Griff has pillow fists. Prob both. Seriously, how are you gonna be that big and strong and not KO someone when you punch them in the face and break your own hand instead?

    Last time a NBA Player assaulted an employee, that player was suspensed for the entire year.

    Latrell Sprewell suspensed for an entire year for choking a coach.

    Ron Artest get ban for entire year for punching a fan,

    Blake must be banned for the entire year for assaulting a NBA employee, not once, but twice. Who cares if the trainer happens to be best friend.

    You try punching your co-worker at work and see what happens to you

    Haha, they won't ban him for the year, he's too marketable for the NBA. Ron and Latrell were seen as problems to the nba so they always made their punishment more stiff (well Latrell was crazy though on the coach thing...).

    Also, I know Griffin was in trouble few years back for some assault case and they basically swept it under the rug (I don't think he got in trouble in the end), but if that was Artest I'm sure the media would eat it up and the nba would pull a Goodell on him.

    Yeah, definitely agree... I'd take Blake if rockets gave up Jones or less (Yes, I know money doesn't work), but no way for Howard.

    First the quad and now the hand.

    What a dumbass.

    I hope the equipment guy gets paid BIG. That dipshiiit owner has tons of money. Sue the team/owner, sue the NBA and sue BG. Medical bills, pain and suffering, ptsd, lost income, brain damage etc.

    The Clips are a pathetic organization.

    WRONG!

    Last time a Nba player assaulted an employee he was suspended two games.
    Matt Barnes vs Dereck Fisher.

    Blake prb will be suspended for 5 games imo. More than the Barnes incident because of the strange circumstances with Barnes and fisher compared to this one. Plus there was never any real evidence in what happend at his ex wife's house were his children happen to be at.

    With blake this is every were because a) apparently it happened in a public area were people witnessed it, he also chased the guy outside and b) he broke his hand so theirs no way the clippers or NBA can cover this up.

    I don't think blake is overated he's a cry baby but would fit well with JH and DH imo. I don't think he's like amare because he can pass and rebound better than stat. Not to mention amare career was derailed because of micro fracture surgery. As bad as blakes injuries have been that have not been as serious as that.

    He does seem to miss 10-15 games a year and have singing nagging him every playoffs it seems tho.

    After Blake assaulted that poor equipment manager, Blake probably screamed " look what you did, you broke my hand you idiot."
