    He sure is!

    DieHard Rocket,

    In case you are not aware, the Rocket's game against Utah will be televised on ESPN2 tomorrow night. You can decide for yourself if Eddie is lazy and selfish or not. [​IMG]

    Last night Bob Kemp said on 610 that there were reports of Griffin being lazy and selfish. There wasn't much to the report, just that quick little tidbit. These weren't Kemp's opinions, it just seemed like he was passing it along...even though he did chuckle at it as if it was no surprise. I'm assuming this is coming from his play in the summer games, otherwise why would they say anything about it? Here's a question for Darkhorse, Moe, and any others that have seen the games: Is Griffin's play lazy and/or selfish? The last thing we need is another player like Cato, although his play is more lazy than selfish.

    From what I've read it seems like he's been playing fairly well, without problems. I just figure that this is more bashing just because he's a Rocket, similar to what has been said about Steve.

    Bob Kemp also thinks Francis sucks and is selfish. Seeing as Cuttino actually is selfish (although often to the benefit of the team), that would easily put us up there as the most selfish team in the NBA. Wouldnt we suck real bad then [​IMG]

    According to Bob Kemp, anyone affiliated with the Rockets is either lazy, selfish, or a hothead. It's a shame people with those types of biases are allowed on the airwaves.

    WTF? Who is Bob Kemp? A test tube tribute to the '96 election?

    I have not see EG play, but the boxscores of the summer games do not indicate a "selfish" player. He would have more shot attempts and a lower field goal percentage if he were selfish.

    Bob Kemp is a poor excuse for a sports "expert" on 610 during the late night/early morning hours. If your opinions are not the same as his, than in his mind you are an idiot.

    Maybe Griffin was eating a bucket of KFC chicken & was too lazy to get up & offer to share it with him. [​IMG]

    I watched many Seton Hall games last season, on TV and in person at the meadowlands. Eddie Griffin gets the "lazy and selfish" ;abel because he is the type of player who never shows any emotion and keeps to himself. He is FAR from lazy. If you remember correctly, another underclassman came out early, his stock dropped because of the same label and now look at him....Lamar Odom!!!

    As far as keeping to himself in concerned, I couldnt think of a more tight-knit team for a quiet guy to go to!!!

    Bob Kemp also said steve francis missed 75 practices in his last two years in houston but the houston media refuses to report it. Oh, and apparently Berkman is an Enron wonder.
