Klay Thompson Calls Out Blake Griffin for Flopping, Says He's Like a Bull in a China Shop

The Clippers and Warriors will meet in the first round of the NBA playoffs as long as the Thunder beat the Pistons this evening, or the Blazers beat the Clippers in Portland. So whether you’re a fan of hoops or a devoted ambassador of the WWE, you should be rooting for one of those things to happen because Klay Thompson just tossed some timely cat nip into the mix of what was already a heated rivalry made wonderful through open disdain.

“He is a good guy off the court but he probably just … I mean … plays pretty physical and flops a little bit,” Thompson said. “He flairs his arm around so you know you might catch a random elbow or something that doesn’t you know rub off too well on guys. He’s kind of like a bull in a china shop, kind of out of control sometimes. And then you do just see him flop sometimes like how can a guy that big and strong flop that much. I can see how that gets under people’s skin and be frustrating to play against.”

Blake Griffin is an out of control, flopping bull in a china shop who annoys the crap out of opposing players. Beautiful.

Can’t wait for Game 1. Don’t you dare fail us, OKC and Portland.
