Eddie house is a punk ass b****. Blake griffin needs to start whooping some ass and take some names Those Miami announcers. c'mon man
To be honest didn't look like that hard a hit. If that is a hard foul, then everybody else in the NBA commits flagrants. Perhaps Griffin was off balance because he was trying to jump and going pretty fast.
"Cheap shot"? Was that any cheaper than what Blake Griffin did to Mario Chalmers? Eddie House is no more of a "punk" than Blake Griffin. If Griffin is going to dish out hard fouls, he better be able to take some too. Anybody see Griffin's foul on Al Horford Friday? I hope someone dishes that exact same foul back on him.
Looks like a flop. If Eddie House really wanted to cheap shot Blake, he would've put his whole body into that shove... instead it was just a push with the arm, trying to prevent an alley-oop.
To answer your first question, YES. Griffin is goin at full speed about to jump into the air. On the other hand, I don't think Griffin could have caused Chalmers any injury. Just saw Griffin's foul on Al Horford. Actually looks like he made an attempt at the ball. Not a "punk" move at all there...

All I know is most of this board would be singing a different song if it was video of KG pushing players smaller than him like Griffin has been doing.
It's not really a hard foul. It's just that Blake goes so fast that if you bump him some, he's prone to losing his balance and coming down hard. That's just a normal foul, really.
Griffin had not launched, so House's push wasn't so much. I hope Griffin gets his share of "not punk" fouls while he's fully extended in the in air about to dunk. That Rafer slap of House is hilarious. LOL!
