Wow the Clips beat the Lakers and the Heat. Championship team much?

Windex

In October, Blake Griffin averaged 16.7 points, 11 rebounds and 2.3 assists.

Then in November, he scored 20.9 points, grabbed 11.7 boards and dished out 2.7 assists per game.

December was next and Griffin averaged 23 points, 13.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists.

So far in January, he's averaging 25.6 points, 14.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists.

Shifty.py

next he will go ballistic and leave Earth surface in all-star game

surreyjack

they also beat the hornets while they were hot, plus the spurs, and bulls... they still need to upgrade their roster to be championship worthy

MrClutch

how about them clippers

jeffb

He's way better then i expected at this point. He's this good this fast...crazy. The guy is a beast for sure. If he can stay healthy and have a long career the Clippers might have a shot at respectibility and maybe even challenge for a championship eventually.

I'm actually amazed by the stats Griffin has put up. Dude's putting up these kinds of numbers without a consistent jumpshot and questionable decision making at times. I can legitimately see this guy averaging 30/15 in his prime.

DeAndre Jordan deserves a ton of credit for the Clippers' wins too... kid is a BEAST defensively.

Bill Haverchuck

The Clippers won again (10 of the last 13). Griffin dropped 47/14/3

Looks like the Raps won't have to worry about the Clipps come lottery time.

TORaptor4Ever

And shot 19/24 (79%).... lol... jesus.

If by some miracle LAC makes the playoffs does Griffin get MVP consideration?

jeffb

cousins is a moron

INSIDER

i think so.
also, you mentioned DeAndre Jordan earlier, ToRap, and he's been on a tear lately... and Baron Davis has also been really good -like he's gone back in time good.

Bill Haverchuck

I'm not even sure that making the playoffs is a miracle anymore. That says a lot about how amazing he is for a rookie. It's not just the stats but also the way in which he seems to have energized the franchise. Even fat-ass B-dizzle is throwin' down dunks again.

Kirby

LOL what'd he do now?

jeffb

He threw an inbounds pass with 0:06 left (Kings down by 2) and threw it over everyone out of bounds. Why have him throw it in i'll never know.

TORaptor4Ever

Could be.... gonna be tough in the WC though.

I remember saying back in the summer (mostly in jest) that Lebron should have considered LAC.... can you imagine how disgusting that team would look right now with him at the SF? Wow.

MrClutch

thought the same thing, thats all their missing

Bill Haverchuck

Well, you don't always go with the best pure passer to make the in bounds pass. It can depend on whether the in bound pass is being defended or not. Sometimes you have a bigger player do it because of sight lines or wanting to keep certain players involved in the actual play drawn up. Depending on the context, there are legit reasons for having a big in bound the ball in a late game situation.

I didn't see the pass, so maybe there was no good reason for Cousins to be chosen. I'm just speculating.

Bill Haverchuck

Thriller92 and I thought that was a decent idea, too. The reason I remember is because Thriller said they could win 55+ with Lebron and Jeffb dismissed it.

As for the west, the reason I'm not sure it is a miracle anymore is partly because Denver might trade Melo AND Billups. If that happens, Denver might slip in the second half of the year. We also don't know what will happen with Phoenix. I could see a scenario in which 5 teams are fighting for the 7th and 8th seed with a month to go in the season. But before they pose a real threat, the Clippers need to start winning on the road.
