Blake Griffin of the LA Clippers cracked a joke about his tweet he posted after the LA Clippers and Houston Rockets spat.
After the LA Clippers defeated the Houston Rockets on Monday night, everything got weird. You’ve surely read or heard about it at this point. If not, please enlighten yourself.
After all the festivities at the stadium ended, players began to take to Twitter, including Blake Griffin who was at the center of all the fun. Blake’s tweet was simple and it seemed pretty obvious what he was going for.

Obviously, Blake was glad he caused a stir and was enjoying watching all the mayhem surrounding the situation on Monday. However, according to Blake, that’s not what he was going for at all.
What he “really” meant
On Tuesday, during a community outreach program, Blake explained that the tweet was completely coincidental and unrelated to the argument between the two teams.
"“Oh man, I was watching The Dark Knight and that’s one of my favorite scenes, so I just wanted to show appreciation for that scene”"
That makes sense, right? Maybe Blake just needed to unwind and The Dark Knight is one of his go to movies. Right?
Of course, he was definitely being coy with the media. The forward made similar jokes during the press conference after the game, citing that him and Rockets’ forward Trevor Ariza were just discussing the topic of Ariza’s birthday party and whether or not Blake would be able to attend.
With possible suspensions looming, it’s probably best that Blake keeps acting ignorant. We’ll keep you updated on any decisions the NBA comes to.
