Blake Griffin Punches Out Clippers Staffer, Breaks Hand
« on: January 26, 2016, 12:51:01 PM »
Hope this does not mean Doc is losing control of this team.

Blake Griffin breaks hand punching a member of the team's equipment staff

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/14651663/los-angeles-clippers-forward-blake-griffin-injured-hand-fight-member-team-equipment-staff

According to the sources, Griffin and the equipment staffer got into an argument in a restaurant during the team's trip to Toronto. Griffin hit the man, who then left the restaurant and went outside. Griffin followed him outside and hit him again.

Griffin suffered a suspected fracture in his hand in the incident, sources told ESPN's Marc Stein and Ramona Shelburne early Tuesday morning.

The equipment staffer's face was injured, sources told Eaves. Both Griffin and the equipment staffer were sent home after the incident. Griffin and teammate DeAndre Jordan are good friends with the staffer involved in the incident, according to sources.

I heard the equipment person wanted to see if Blake could fit into Doc's old MU shorts.

Staffer = Injured face
Basketball player = fractured hand

I'd say the staffer won this argument.

Not after losing his job he won't.

Even if he loses his job, he is going to get paid.    Trying to imagine a scenario where it is a smart decision to hit a staffer multiple times.    Still failing.

At Qdoba?  I'm surprised Davonte Gardner wasn't involved in the melee..

Canadian beer.  It's like moonshine.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

I feel bad for Doc the coach cause Doc the GM really screwed him over with this team. Blake, Paul, Jordan, Lance, Austin, woof....all the talent (minus Austin) in the world but you couldn't pay me to coach that team. At least they got rid of Josh Smith.

Loses job, wins lawsuit. I'd say he won in the end.

Doubt he's losing his job.  And doubt he's suing.
