Oh don't worry, I don't actually think he's flopping a lot for them, but sometimes you do need to flop, or "sell it", however people want to say it to get offensive fouls go your way in the NBA. If he just stood there, the refs won't give him as many calls.

...but do you see how you explained that? "while also not being scared of physical contact to take one for the team". "Sacrificing his own body to get his team an extra possession". That's not what one says when it is an opponent that is doing the same thing. When it's an opponent, the words are a lot less colorful. Instead of not being afraid of contact, the opponent is "____lbs and should not be falling or taking charges". Instead of sacrificing his body, the opponent is "flying around and cheating / playing the refs to get calls".

Didn't see you say that when the Lakers ended up winning the other night.

I like cousins, someone finally spoke up about it. Blake Griffin is one the dirtiest players in the league

Coming from a LAKERS fan, that is too funny.

What if it didn't come from a Lakers fan? Would it still be funny?

Yes, because Griffin is FAR from one of the dirtiest players in the league. Bynum, KG, Rondo, Kurt Thomas, Ron Artest, etc. Hell, Griffin isn't even the dirtiest player on our team - Reggie Evans probably is.

This is a bit off topic but why didn't VDN play Reggie Evans against the Lakers? Instead he put Kenyon on Bynum, I just thought that was weird.

I have no idea. VDN seemingly pulls a list of who's going to play when out of his ass as he goes along. You guys hate on Mike Brown but I would much rather have him than VDN.

Yeah I could see how that can be very frustrating, especially on the players. It seems that game came down to who has the worse coach. :lol:

I think Kirk Hinrich and Brad Miller would agree with me.

NBA fines DeMarcus Cousins $25,000 for complaining about Blake Griffin calls to the Referees

Image

The NBA announced on Friday that Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins has been fined $25,000 for "public criticism of the officials" following a 93-85 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night. Cousins fouled out of the contest where he afterwards spoke about Clipper All-Star forward Blake Griffin calling him an "actor" and said of one Griffin flop: "I guess he got fouled by the wind."

Finally the NBA is getting competitive again. I miss the old Heat/Knicks series.
Cousins 100% right, he should lay Griffin the **** out next time. Cousins always speaks the truth.

except he gets punished for it. griffin could kill someone and stern wouldn't blink an eye.
Warspite:

Prince + filler for Kobe Bryant
To be honest the way Prince has played and with Kobes injury/age/mileage Im not sure I would do that deal either. Still Prince is more important and he wins the head to head battles with Kobe.
