    One of the NCAA's bright young stars, Eddie Griffin, decided after the Georgetown loss last week that he didn't get the ball enough in the final moments of the game. Therefore, he walked over to Ty Shine who was dressing and punched him in the face causing him to get stitches. He is not only hurting Ty Shine but the whole team by doing this.
    This incident caused him to miss his next game last week against Troy Murphy and the Irish. Griffin gets a rematch with Georgetown again tonight so let see if he can act more civilized.

    It looks like Griffin has some growing up to do [​IMG]

    There's an article about Griffin in the current? Sports Illustrated. He's definitely got anger problems according to the article. This definitely isn't an isolated situation. He used to get in fights with his brothers and was nearly kicked out of high school for it.

    Would Rudy take a flyer on this type of kid assuming he's still like this when he declares for the draft?

    "No Brain Grant, no trade." -- Typos are a b**** as ZRB is holding Rocket trades hostage while he seeks a brain. Conspiracy theorists say this would explain why Hakeem has yet to be traded...

    Where is Griffin projected to be drafted? Will the Rockets be able to move up high enough to get one of the top 3 centers?

    Kenny Thomas had a foul called on him in the Western Conference Finals.
