Why is Everybody Giving Blake Griffin a Hard Time?
Started about a month or two ago
Teams started trying to get BG to snap
Trend has continued more recently...

It's been happening for years.
Apparently some guys don't like being posterized.

Exactly. He is Also career 21 point 10 rebound a night player who shoots 53% from the field. This year he has developed a great mid range jumper and bank shot that makes him virtually impossible to defend one on one.
The physical abuse will get worse, some people think his clippers teammates need to do a better job getting involved when he gets pushed around

I've noticed a player aggression toward Blake Griffin for years now and often wondered what he has done to deserve this treatment from fellow players.

You can only flop so many times until guys really start fouling you and getting their moneys worth

Lebron, wade, Pierce, ginobli, gasol, lots of big time floppers that don't get hacked like Blake. I don't think he is cocky at all, doesn't yell in peoples faces after his monster jams. Guys doing half as much make twice as much noise. I just think he had the image of just a high flyer with no skills early on and people hate that type. Also the clipper announcers are real homers and people hate that. I know I do and I am a clipper fan

I am being admonished by SBRs nicest poster, I better change course quick.
Farmhouse I will watch for what you are saying regarding his dunks to see if I agree. I will say I have season tickets very close to the court for home games and he gets a lot more smack talk directed at him then he gives.

This. Also he was crowned a superstar without actually having the skill set. To his credit he had worked on his game this past off season and is now a legitimate star with post moves and midrange jumper.

All local announcers are homers, but I find the clipper ones to be more fair than most. Last night on the play Kyrie hurt his shoulder after punching the ball out of blakes hands and the ball smacking blake in the face, they were like "blake my hate us for this but the only foul on that play was on the ball". Blake couldn't stop bitching to the refs about that play like he got raped or something when it was just the ball that hit in the face. Multiple times a game in fact they tell it like it is when blake is too busy whining like a baby and say plays are clean.

Its because he's a nice guy and dunks on them and they cant stop it, if he had the reputation of not being so nice guys wouldnt try him, but he's shown he rarely retaliates so they keep doing it.

Gonz312 I agree most ( not all) team announcers are homers. But clips are a little more, it's like braves baseball. It irks me when they show blatantly obvious bias and I am a clipper fan .
Goerkek I disagree that his dunks are usually offensive fouls. Ironic you mention his dunks over Gasol, Gasol is a regular on the NBA dirtiest players lists. Blake does flop though I agree with you and it's good he has slowed that down. Again ironically Gasol makes the worst floppers list all the time as well and he has been a pro for 15+ years.
Blake is never on the nba list of dirty players, he flops sometimes that's a legit criticism but he isn't dirty. Several of his teammates like Barnes and Paul make the dirty list sometimes but not Blake. I don't understand why people criticize his limited game, which of course is not limited anymore. This is his 4th year not his 7th or 8th, it takes some time to develop other offensive skills. Especially for guys like Blake that are so athletically dominant that in college they could rely on that dominance and still be extremely effective.

jealousy. even from that overrated chris paul their is jealousy. blake is the building block of the clippers. chris paul is turning out to be an overpaid complimentary piece.

Twoways I posted earlier today how we are getting little out of Chris Paul since his injury. Teams play overall has masked that fact.

I think Jordan or Barnes would be the logical enforcers but rumor is they don't really like Blake.
