Dirty play. He should miss a couple games too.
I see it like this: if the play would have guys jumping on each other in the playground then it's dirty in the NBA. You know guys will get hacked in the street and just let it be. Maybe they'll talk some trash or get in someone's face, but everyone is just like, "Yo, it's not the NBA. Chill."
That move right there would clear the court. No place for it."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Who gives Al love?Other than real basketball fans such as guys on this thread,or basketball purist nobody talks about him.
All they know is Blake Griffin this Blake Griffin that.Guys like Big Al,David Lee,Greg Monroe are constantly underrated and not talked about at all.Comment

On a serious note... I would say he is finishing better. Like I've seen him put on some legit cofident hooks shots over guys. I wouldn't say he is a legit go to post guy. But I do see the improvement in his back to the basket game. Before he was just a dunking machine. Never really did anything else offensively. Basically you can go to him once in a while for a few points.
But I will repeat again... Anyone notice the changes to Blake Griffin's jumper shot? It looks really smooth this yearHands Down....Man Down - 2k9 memories

Looks smooth, other than the huge hesitation before ever taking one, and having to load up before he actually jumps. Just don't see how he can develop any consistency doing that.Cubs | Bulls | Dolphins | 'Noles

I know the guys on NBATV(which should be the only channel anybody watches when it comes to team and player breakdowns), especially Shaq, loves him as well. Even when he was in Minnesota, he was getting plenty of praise from people.
At the end of the day though, does it really matter to people if certain players don't get talked about as much as others do?#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: 10/30 - 11/7 Games Discussion Thread.
Not really but at the same time these guys deserve there credit.If a guy is playing really well why shouldn't he be in the same praise as others.
Why should only the world know Blake Griffin this or that.But you just had a PF/C in Greg Monroe have a triple-double.Yet instill Deandre Jordan has a 20/10 game and that's all I keep hearing about.
Not saying every guy that does well should get talked about 24/7 but lets at least acknowledge that there playing well.Nothing wrong with that at all.Comment

Meant to say that not many people care...other than basketball junkies, and basketball purists. Shouldn't have traded Monroe last week...our league gives out bonuses for triple-double games...good thing I'm still 1st!Canucks | Packers | Blue Jays | Lakers | Raptors
