"I kind of have bigger goals than that for the team," Griffin said. "I think the team has bigger goals than that. We expected to win the division. We didn't come into this season thinking, 'Oh, it would be great if we could win the division.' We expected it. It's something to be proud of and maybe there's a banner that goes up (in the training facility), but it's not something that needs to go up in Staples [Center], and we don't need to hang our hat on that."

what the frick is wrong with this?

How is this an example of them falling apart? I agree with him. Who wants to hang up a division banner next to all of those Lakers championship banners? It'll look more like a joke than an accomplishment.

Do you get a trophy for winning your division in the NBA? If not, then I agree with him.

Da frick?

In a day and age where they will hang banners for anything, it's not a bad statement.

Here are some examples

quote:

The Clippers are in trouble.

They got their 50th win of this storybook season Wednesday night, a franchise record, but internal problems seriously threaten their chances for extraordinary postseason success.


quote:

Jordan wants nothing to do with Coach Vinny Del Negro because he blames Del Negro for burying him on the bench.


quote:

Griffin is Jordan's buddy, and still a kid.

His development has been sabotaged by his inability to accept criticism of any sort.

It helps explain why he's always at odds with the referees. He's never done anything wrong, as he sees it, so why are they blowing a whistle and calling him out?


quote:

The other night in Sacramento, Griffin and Jordan exchanged words on the bench. Griffin told Jordan he best never again stare him down as he did when Griffin failed to give Jordan a good pass for a dunk.

Everyone else was left to sit there while waiting for the kids to stop bickering.

The pair have also grown tired of Chris Paul's voice, which is understandable at times.

Paul, very much like Kobe Bryant — who has turned off Dwight Howard with his out-of-this-world standards — is relentless. He never shuts up. And Jordan and Griffin have become weary of him.

Lakers and Celtics are the only two franchises that only hang championship banners. Fwiw the Clippers have no banners or jerseys hanging in Staples. There was a debate on local sports radio recently if Clippers were to get any such recognition the best candidate would be Ralph Lawler.

Trust me, if Carmelo and CP3 want to play together, the Knicks will make it happen.

These things happen with every team in the NBA.

so is Tim Duncan, and he's old and good, that's silly.

Well, they arent going to be hanging a championship banner anytime soon, so they need to take what they can get.
