    I agree with Cousins. For the moment at least, Griffin can do no wrong. I expect someday soon he's gonna get seriously blasted. All that showboating will not work. He'll have to learn to properly respect his opponents or he's going to get seriously hurt. He should have been teed up multiple times from the games I've watched.

    He is an amazing dunker and has a lotta nice basketball skills.

    But he has crossed the line from playing hard to playing dirty and he gets away with so much it is ridiculous.

    All hardcore basketball fans are starting to hate Blake Griffin

    That makes 3 players I used to respect and like but despise now...

    Love, Dwight, Griffin.

    Gets away with elbowing Pau Gasol in the face a few days ago for his cute little highlight dunk and then of course the over the back dunk was a foul too, but anytime he is close to being touched he cracks his head back and flails on the ground. This dude would have been destroyed in the 80's, players wouldn't have put up with his antics as long as these guys have because of the potential suspensions. He would have been Kurt Rambis'd by Kevin McHale for being a b****.

    Cousins is right but he shouldn't be whining about it, he should be punking him on the court and keeping it in-house.

    Amazing how LerBon has been under the radar this season and hasn't been the little spoiled prick that we knew him to be. He's quietly being replaced by these newer douches.

    With that said, I would smile if Griff gets a serious injury.

    Not easy to punk a guy when breathing on him is a foul.

    Griff's popularity is taking a quick nose dive.

    Agree with you. Leave it to Cousins to open up his mouth, even though he's saying what other players believe.

    Can't wait for the re-match in LA tomorrow night. Could be interesting.

    Jason Smith is on the upswing.

    One of my new favorite players.

    I hope the Rockets get him.

    He doesn't suck, but he's nowhere near as good as what the league and the media is making him out to be.

    Watching Yao Ming play, and then watching Blake Griffin play. It's pretty disgusting the things Blake can do that Yao can't.

    If Yao can throw his weight around the same way Blake does, he'd be dropping 30 points a game.

    Didn't Kendrick Perkins foul Griffin really hard in their most recent games against each other?

    Cousins should deck Griffin.

    I miss the old-school hardcore game play of the '90s and '80s. Maybe with Cousins, Biyombo and Drummond(and a new commish) we can bring it back.
