Blake Griffin is the best player in the history of the NBA.
They are due to hard fouls, not due to premeditated attempts to cause serious harm to someone like Bynum's foul.No, there is always a bad fall due to a bad foul being done. It's not some blue moon occurrence.
Again, I'm not saying the NBA has always been fair (so I don't know why you keep bringing in these random examples), but I've never seen KG commit a foul as bad as Bynum's that didn't get him suspended. If you have an example of one, I'd like to see it.Like I said, a Flagrant 2 is defined by unnecessary and excessive contact. Bynum's suspension was warranted, but once again, it's stupid how KG doesn't even get a fine for half the stuff he does. It's not even just the ball tapping, but he has a history of being a dirty player, and don't even try to defend that. Players get reputations from repeated offenses. Some players are more protected than others. Kobe gets suspended for waving his arms around after a shot is blocked, but LBJ and Gasol don't? I mean, even Bruce Bowen got away with always sticking his foot under a player (Steve Francis got hurt really badly, because of it). The only time Bowen has ever gotten suspended was when he kicked CP3 when both fell to the ground. I mean, how the hell does he not get suspended, and only fined 7500 for bruce lee kicking Wally Zcerbiak?
Blake Griffin would destroy you.Okay.
You can argue Garnett's hard screen that (which I defended, but he did lean in with the elbow) gave Mike Miller a concussion was a dirty play. Garnett didn't receive an offensive foul, let alone a flagrant or fine after the game. Kinda funny how hard of a screen that was when the possession or two before, Rondo ran into Z on a much more legal screen, because Perkins forgot to yell out "Screen" to Rondo.They are due to hard fouls, not due to premeditated attempts to cause serious harm to someone like Bynum's foul.

False. He doesn't know who I am, let alone where I live. Therefore, he can't destroy me.Blake Griffin would destroy you.
He did lean a bit, but I don't think he intended to cause serious harm to Miller and the concussion I think was mostly due to how Miller turned and ran right into it as opposed to being caused by the way the screen was set. It probably should have just been an offensive foul if anything. Clearly he was being vengeful for the earlier screen on Rondo, but I don't think he was trying to cause harm, but just to set a hard screen.You can argue Garnett's hard screen that (which I defended, but he did lean in with the elbow) gave Mike Miller a concussion was a dirty play.

Premeditated. A severe injury. How long was Miller out? 2 weeks? Doesn't look as bad as Bynum's collision, but a concussion is no joke either.
I dunno, man. Bored is a ****in power-ranger... not just anyone can take down a power-ranger. It would be an epic clash indeed.Blake Griffin would destroy you.
I'm not sure if you're saying this from my statement, but Webber answered Kobe when the tmobile question was "Who is a better closer, LeBron or Wade?"Why is Webber constantly on the Heat's nuts?
I saw your comment and I've seen quite a few videos of Webber trashing the Heat in general.I'm not sure if you're saying this from my statement, but Webber answered Kobe when the tmobile question was "Who is a better closer, LeBron or Wade?"
Lmao that was hilarious, but Webber really drives the point here. Props to him for this. I'm sorry, but if you're gonna be crying after a regular season loss, then...well just gtfo.I saw your comment and I've seen quite a few videos of Webber trashing the Heat in general.

There have not been many incidents regarding LBJ being a dirty player, but who the hell wants to watch a quitter? I don't understand why he constantly "slacks off" in the big moments when we know he can pull it off. That Detroit series a few years back when he scored 20 something straight points was amazing. At the same time, it was disheartening to watch him quit on his team last year vs the Celtics. What does that tell you about a person...that tells me.Can you imagine if Lebron ever so much as threw an elbow in his career? I don't understand all this hate. I don't like how he slacks off in tough games, but the guy's hella talented and a class act and people are just hating way too much.
Also Kobe's the most overrated player in the history of professional sports. He's not clutch, and he's not good. He's a chucker. He's never even been the best player on his team during the playoffs when they won a title.
Wow I actually gained my respect for Webber back after watching that... Everything he said was spot on.
I dunno. I think it has to do more with the fact that there was nobody to handle the ball behind Rondo and give him some rest after Nate Robinson was traded and Delonte West was injured. This forced him to play almost every minute of every game, with his only backup being.... Avery Bradley. *shudder* Now they have Arroyo, which gives Rondo a good backup, but I think he's still recovering from having to play all those minutes.Edit: Interesting. Listening to the Bill Simmons podcast, he says that the Perkins trade affected Rondo a lot. I do remember reading about Rondo being the most upset about the trade, but Simmons say Rondo's play after the trade has been pretty bad, and a lot of it has to do with Perkins leaving. Were they ever that tight?
Haha, this was funny. Made him just a bit more likeable to me, actually.
Once again, you're looking just at numbers, but let's take a full look at it shall we?boreddude: go rewatch game 7 against the Celtics. Heck rewatch the whole series. Gasol won that title. The stats back me up. Kobe just took 50 shots a game. He's basically Melo.
Uh...it's called CRITICISM. When a guy ain't playing well, you call them out. Every NBA analyst does this. Tim Legler, Barkley, Kenny Smith, Jon Barry, Wilbon, WHOEVER. Everyone does the same thing.And C-Webb's a ***** who just says whatever's popular. Calling it now, you'll definitely hear him trash Blake Griffin as soon as someone else gets wind of his team's lack of success.
Look at Cleveland now and tell me Lebron isn't the best player in the world. He got what was otherwise the worst team in basketball to the top 4. There's no other such obvious example of one player meaning so much to a team in NBA history.
I highly doubt Boston is going to let Miami get the second seed. Miami currently has two more losses than Boston, and with 12 games left, Boston would have to lose 3 for Miami to get the 2nd seed. Remember, Boston owns the tie breaker over them, so even if their records are tied, Boston would hold the fort.Hmmm Boston's gonna allow Miami get the 2nd seed I already see that coming.
But what baffles me the most right now; why are the New York Knicks playing so poorly since Melo joined them? As of now they have a LOSING record... And why are the Nuggets playing so much better without him?
**** mind****s me too mane. lolwhy are the New York Knicks playing so poorly since Melo joined them? As of now they have a LOSING record... And why are the Nuggets playing so much better without him?
I'll try to remember this nice little quote for later. The two seed might be very important for the Heat though, if they do get it. They should be able to beat the Knicks, but they could definitely lose in the first round to the 76ers if they get the three seed.Hmmm Boston's gonna allow Miami get the 2nd seed I already see that coming.
He rests them if they're tired or injured.The Heat are definitely want that second seed and doesn't Coach Rivers tend to begin resting his superstars for the playoffs around this time?
If so I'm keeping my prediction.
