    Last night during a post up play, Griffin was backing in hard on scola. After both players when down on the floor Griffin intentionally positions his crotch in scolas face. It's pretty obvious griffin didn't have to do that. Scola was furious. Superstars in the NBA get away with murder.


    UPDATE: The video...

    I don't think it is something he should be suspended for. He was playing pretty dirty. CP3 was also playing like a little b**** and complaining to refs like they were his mommy. The refs were all around pathetic last night.

    Ha **** happens. Maybe the Rockets(particularly Scola) should stop falling all over the floor, then they wouldn't have to worry about getting their faced stepped on or crotches in their face.

    Vanilla Gorilla did the same thing to Rubio this weekend. He got a tech though.

    It was a BS call by the ref on that play. I think it was a fairly blatant charge with Griffing putting his shoulder hard into Scola. I also thought that Scola was angry about the call.

    Video? Props to Barea for pointing it out and "going after" Joel Dolla-Dolla-Billa.

    You saw the play that the post was talking about, that wasn't a flop and it wasn't a foul on Scola. It was a foul on Griffin there was no doubt about it and for the refs to not call it that way is bs.

    No way he deserves a suspension and it's debatable if how he landed was intentional.

    But I am amazed at the ticky tack calls a guard can get on charges or hacks, yet a guy like Blake Griffin can do this (see below).

    Here you go.

    i don't think that why luifa was furious. For the first time, he played this defense thing, and when he was being physical they'd call a foul on him. When blake got physical and bulldozed him like that...no call.

    Usually, I'm screaming at Scola for not playing D.

    Last night he played good D. Blake looked like a skillless scrub who just was relying on raw power adn athleticism

    Not really, it is pretty dead on.

    Scola does fall down a lot but in that particular case, he was bulldozered. See video above.

    Scola flopped and didn't get the call. Glad he didn't either. Scola was mad because the refs didn't call the flop. boo-hoo.

    The reputation is league known (for both teams) and I hope the NBA puts a stop to it. Technicals for flops please.

    It's part of the reason we need an All Star.

    They get away with everything.

    I wouldn't be surprised if last night's refs also served CP3 his pre-game meal.

    CP3: "Where's my orange soda?!!"

    Ref #2: "Sorry, sir, it's on its way, sir..."
