Eddie House did give a shove but Blake totally exaggerated it, it's very obvious in the slow-mo. After Blake feels the push he literally dives to the ground as if he's going for a swim.
Griffin was running full speed in the open court and House pushed him in the back. It doesn't take a lot to knock someone off balance and potentially injure them that way. It was definitely a cheap shot/dangerous play.
it's true. because Griffin is a much more likeable player than KG or Eddie House. I honestly liked KG before he went to the Celtics. Maybe I just didn't see enough of his games but it seemed like he turned into a douche after he got his ring. and I was actually happy that Ray Allen and KG got rings... always hated Paul Pierce.
I thought it was an obvious flop. And I don't know how some of you guys run but if I'm running full speed then a slight push will do less to change my momentum or balance than if I'm just going half-speed.
I don't. You see how many big guys run down the floor in transition and the man marking him is always another big guy and they're always elbowing each other for position yet neither budge? That's because they're not flopping.
It's not so much about the change of momentum, but the quick, unexpected impulse can potentially mess up your footing when you're running, thus causing imbalance. To me it seemed more like a strategic semi-flop... like, oh crap I better dive into that large, flat, padded surface rather than into the crowd.
I hate the NBA encourages cheapshots like that. Players should be terrified of the consequences for being pu$$y. But instead they all they get is a flagrant foul agaisnt them . Whopptidoo. NBA needs to weed out all angles for pu$$y type plays and players. Harsh fines and suspenions plus bad press shpuld be applied. So that a pu$$y get recognised for what he is instead of just saying he didnt want to dunkned on. You cant cheat just because the guy is better than you and beats you. So what if he is going to dunk on you all the time? YOU AINT GOOD ENOUGH TO STOP HIM - ITS YOUR FAULT NOT HIS. Be a man and admit he is better and try harder next time, try to improve your own game rather than being pu$$y and take a cheap shot.
nothing really cheap about it. he just didnt want to be put on a poster. its like when people tried to dunk on shaq. he would just put em on their asses
Eddie House is turning into that James Posey-like player... later and later into his career... getting dirtier and dirtier.

Even James Posey wants a piece of Blake Griffin!! <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SqfP1xJpFo4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
that was 100% accidental All he was doing is contesting the last play of the game he went straight up with his body and hands haters are gonna hate no matter what .. U taking a shot a BG .. now thats a cheap shot
All I want is for Griffin to get back what he dishes out. You calling me a hater is silly. Grow up. For people like you for whom Blake Griffin can do no wrong, pardon the rest of us for not drinking the Kool-Aid. I'm going to discuss the guy objectively. Get over it.
For some reason I can't find myself to like this Griffin dude. He's an awesome player, yes, and probably has a chance to being in that short list of all time greats. However I don't like his personality I guess... can't put my finger on it yet. I just don't like him.
