Seriously can't stand the Clippers

[Natebishop3]

Griffin was hurt during a foul by Mason Plumlee.

The guys on rip city mornings said it was a trip. Anyone have a clip?

I dont have a clip but see Griffin's quotes:

BLAKE GRIFFIN

On his injury:

“Yeah, just the same area. I planted off of my left. I’ll be reevaluated tomorrow and go from there.”


On when his injury occurred:

“Not sure, I think it was in the 3rd quarter. I went up against Plumlee and got fouled. I’m not sure what sequence it was, but I got fouled by Plumlee.”


On his chances of playing in game 5:

“I’m not sure. Like I said, tomorrow I think we’ll take a better look and hopefully go from there.”



On how much the injury was bothering while he was on the floor:

“I could feel it. Hopefully in the next 24-48 hours you turn a corner and feel better, so I’m not really concentrated on how it felt tonight, that’s kind of expected after you tweak something.”


On if he talked to Chris Paul after the game and what the mood was like in the locker room:

“Yeah, I talked to him. He was clearly disappointed and upset, but there’s nothing you can do. You try to tell a guy like that that ‘it’s okay, we got you’ and ‘it’s going to be okay’, but he’s a competitor and wants to play, so it’s tough. It’s not easy dealing with injuries, especially this time of year. As his teammates we’ll always have his back and go from there.”

And ESPN either agrees or is going with what Griffin said without fact-checking:

Asking Griffin to reproduce his 26 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists from Game 1 of last year's Rockets series is probably asking too much. Asking him to match his 19-12-6 line from Game 1 of this series with Portland could be a stretch. On Monday night, he tried to take off the way he used to, when he dunked on people with reckless abandon. He got fouled by Mason Plumlee, didn't come anywhere close to throwing the ball through the hoop and soon found himself rubbing his quadriceps on the sideline and even heading back to the locker room to get checked out. He returned to the game, but his gait was noticeably affected.
