    How often does someone foul out on a dunk?
    How often does someone foul out on a dunk this nasty?

    This guy is damn exciting to watch. These days I'm usually checking Clippers highlights right after the Rockets.

    Oh well, at least he went out with a bang.

    Speaking of Bang, Hakim pretends he got shot.

    These new technical rules are bull$#!*. What did he deserve a technical for? Sigh...

    Don't care for the technical, but certainly a charge.

    No such thing as a charge if a guy dunks it, imo.

    Why take the teabags out of basketball? Teabags are the best part...

    He does that a lot -- pushes down with his off hand on the shoulder or head of the person he is jumping over.

    It's part of the mind games. If you're trying to call a charge, you won't be able to block if he goes for a jump shot. Griffin should've just shot it. That's the rules.

    On the other hand, was he crying?

    Total charge. What a ridiculous display of complaining, falling to his knees and everything. "MENDOZZZAAAAA!" :rolleyes:

    the refs blew that call. Gortat moved his foot into the semi circle.

    I don't want any rule that limits Blake's attempts to place nuts on foreheads.

    I'm not sure that had anything to do with the call. Gortat was set outside the circle and got bowled over.

    I think he could have avoided a tech if he did his little melodrama without keeping the ball. Stop ballhogging.

    it was a charge, but he did a pretty good job acting that it wasn't

    I never knew players could stand on the semi circle, shuffle their feet, and move into the player driving to the basket and still draw a charge.

    I agree that was disappointing.

    I mean everyone knows the Clips aren't gonna win it, so at least give them something to cheer about and let Griffin get his dunks.

    shuffled his feet and stepped on the semi circle when Blake went up. Should have been an "And One."

    LOL at Hakim Warrick getting trucked out of the way when Griffin heard the foul call.
