Blake Griffin: No issues with Reggie Jackson following ill-timed photobomb

You’d definitely have to excuse Pistons star Blake Griffin at being frustrated.

It was evident in his post-game interview following a victory over the New Orleans Pelicans in which he described his team’s lack of focus and inability to finish games. Right then, guard Reggie Jackson decided to photobomb the interview, not knowing the serious tone of Griffin’s comments and was subsequently roasted on social media and even in the national media.

But Griffin insists there isn’t a problem between the two of them, and that he made a point to talk to Jackson later on.

“I really don’t pay attention to Twitter like that or ESPN that much,” “Griffin said. “People see the comments, but 90 percent of it will be B.S. so I don’t pay attention to what most people say. I’m probably the worst person on our team when it comes to social media.”

Jackson brushed off any controversy, saying he hadn’t checked what anyone had said about his poorly timed photobomb.

“Stanley (Johnson) let me know what happened right after the game, but other than that, I ain’t checking,” Jackson said.

“People always make things bigger than it is or try to make it something it’s not,” Griffin said after scoring 35 points in the Pistons’ 106-101 loss to the Dallas Mavericks.

“We laugh and joke around all the time, and have a good time. It was just that sometimes I’m locked on something. It’s whatever.”

Head coach Dwane Casey, who is trying to bring the winning culture he helped build with the Toronto Raptors to the Pistons, also chimed in.

“We need to have more focus in closing games, closing quarters. I said it to the team right after the game because that game could have went either way,” Casey said. “Reggie was having fun after the fact, but it was bad timing that Blake was talking about closing games, being focused and he’s goofing around.”
