The Los Angeles Clippers are in the middle of a playoff push, and they are making it without star forward Blake Griffin. Aside from being a great player, Griffin also brings toughness to the team. During a recent game with the Minnesota Timberwolves, J.J. Redick and the Clippers could have used some of Griffin's toughness.

It was big news at the trade deadline when Minnesota completed a deal to bring franchise icon Kevin Garnett back to the team, and apparently he has already been spreading his legendary competitive fire to the others in the organization, as coach Flip Saunders displayed during an in-game altercation with Redick.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Redick was ejected with just over a minute to go in the game after speaking to the ref about Saunders walking out onto the court during a dead ball.

"I'm not sure why he was out on the court, but he was yelling and stuff, so I said to the ref, 'Man, get him off the court,'" Redick said. "And Flip turned to me and said, 'Man, shut the . . . up.' And he said it like three times. And I just walked to my spot and I got a double technical for that.
"So I shouldn't have kept talking, but all I said to [referee] Josh [Tiven] was, 'I'm going to get my money back' and he threw me out for that. If I'm going to get thrown out, man, at least let me say some stuff."
Despite Redick's ejection, the Clippers did hang on for a 110-105 victory.
