Cousins Fined $25,000 For Comments On Referees

DeMarcus Cousins has been fined $25,000 for his comments about referees and their treatment of Blake Griffin.

"He's babied," Cousins told SI.com. "He's the poster child of the league. He sells tickets, but he's babied. Bottom line."

Cousins was asked who babied Griffin.

"The refs, the league – period," Cousins said. "He gets away with (everything). He taunts players. Nothing is done. He's babied."

Have seen enough of this turd to see that he is definately favoured and is a little princess, I'm better than everyone else, type. Any sort of double standards makes you want to not watch nba anymore. Nothing worse than nonfairness and people support that too much

Yeah, ever since the Dunk contest last year, I realized the NBA was completely biased on Griffens behalf. KIA is a sponsor of the NBA, and KIA is sponsored by Griffin. So when Griffin puts that gimmick of "jumping over a car" (which was probably the leagues idea anyway), I lost any support for him.

I've been saying that about him for a while, 32 can confirm, even though he will never agree with me on that one.

Yyyyeah, it's our splitting topic haha Even here, I can't call a guy a "sissy" for barely shoving a well-known flop artist and getting called for a flagrant.

I mean, the video I'm watching is WEAK. Is this seriously the flagrant all this is about?...

That's just classic Gasol; wailing and hitting the ground like he got molested when video shows minor, minor contact. Granted, it's totally a foul to shove someone on a break away in the back, but even then... Just typing it sounds worse than it looks. That foul was WEAK... The fact that the Lakers threw such a fit about it is just a testament to their princessy persona this year.

Bet Pau was still sore from these two monsters:

As someone who has advertised his disdain for Gasol's soft, whiney, mouth-open-squealing-for-a-foul kinda game, the look on his face as he cascades into the ground on that first dunk made me smile for 7 days straight. No joke. Yet another reason I can't hate on Blake YouTube.

Just saw this image on another site. It isn't the first one I've seen showing BGriffin as a sissy type, but I got this one.

Yeah, he's one of those annoying types that is like "I'm a big, strong dude and I like putting hurt on other players with my monster dunks on 'em." But if someone plays a little harder on him, he's more like "Don't do that, or I'm gonna simulate that I got hit and tell you to the ref."

And I bloody can't stand that type of person, cause it's a person, not a player that I see then. And I can't cheer for lousy persons. I would rather my team having a bit of a struggle, and eventually wins a title after years and years of hard work, but through companionship as well...than have a bunch of guys like Griffin that will win you that title sooner perhaps, but on back of cheap tricks, being the NBA's (Stern's) favorite, and crying to the refs.

I can agree with that paragraph. But there's about 30 players I can list that get on my nerves and flop WAY worse than Griffin. Griffin is like Wade; he flops, but he's also got massive, massive game. To me, guys like Manu and Pau and DHarris are way more annoying, cause these are fools (in all honesty) who wouldn't be in the NBA if they couldn't draw fouls. You can't say the same about DWade, Kobe Bryant, or Blake Griffin... Even though, sure, they flop on a daily basis. Kevin Martin flops 10 times a game. THAT stuff annoys me.

I hate on Pau and Dirk because they flop on fools who are smaller than them like they got mugged by a midget. Blake does not, and I can't pretend that I don't respect that more.

Nobody answered my question: is that weak little half-shove that I linked to what this whole thread is about?

Well I started this thread, because I've seen various footage of Griffin and he is a sissy type to me. I think another thread was made earlier, maybe by Guybrush, about Griffin and I remembered it

Sure, but the flagrant foul that you cited in the original post?
Is it the same one that I linked to on YouTube?

We got tip-off in a couple minutes. I sure hope Griffin looks like a sissy today...

@32: I don't know about that link, just saw it (the one you posted). I was speaking generally, and those two dunks Griffin had on Gasol. And just to make something clear, I don't like Pau as much as Griffin, if not more.

Here's hoping Blake Griffin doesn't posterize a Warrior today...

Whose willing to bet we escape this game without being put on a poster? Guy? Miggy? Do either of you wanna say ahead of time that they'd bet the Golden State protectors of the rim will get off easy today? Cause I don't think either of you will take that bet haha and I wouldn't either.

Save for D12, who else can you say that about?

Well, in this league, with this commissioner...I can't think of anyone. People are avoiding to look at him because of a potential foul.

I don't know...if we play Tyler and Gladness a bit more, they might hold him back. They are young, but their defense seems to be developing quite nicely.

Hey, 32, saw that slimy hold Griffin did on Tyler?

Tyler doesn't want to tolerate that crap.

I saw Tyler get torched on the break on a Blake Griffin lob...

Then I saw him get angry and shove Griffin the very next time down the court. I mean, who hit who there? I know Tyler's our guy, but Griffin wasn't the one who started that fight.

You know who Griffin really hates though?

MICKELL GLADNESS BABY!!!!

Oh, come on, torched...I could outrun guys with those lobs Paul is handing.

Griffin got shoved because he wrapped his arm round Tyler and hold him for quite a while...even few secs after the play was over. I guess Tyler just got annoyed, like everyone would.
