Chauncey Billups not Considering Retirement

In my post about Chauncey Billups being out for the rest of the season, I mentioned how he might retire. Chauncey Billups has announced that he is not considering retirement. Hopefully, he won't retire and will still be on the Clippers roster next season. Stay tuned for a post about who will be the new starting SG!



Chauncey Billups out for the rest of 2011-2012 Season

When the Clippers played the Magic this week Chauncey Billups hurt his Achilles! Today, the doctors said he tore his Achilles and is out for the season. There is a chance that this could end his career.

Here is a story that makes me think that there is a good chance that his career is over:

Billups was on the Pistons from 2002-2008. Keep that in mind. 18 years ago, Isiah Thomas' 13 year career ended because he hurt his Achilles against the Magic. Isiah Thomas was also on the Pistons. Billups is in his fifteenth year. That is why I think his career could be over.

Who do you think will start over him?

Do you think he will retire?

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Denver Nuggets (January 29, 2012)

The #2 (Nuggets) and #3 (Clippers) teams in the west played against each-other. It was a close game for the whole time. I'm guessing one of these teams will eventually get past the Thunder (1st in the west)! If they do, they'll probably have to beat the Thunder at least once. I hope you like hearing stats and the final score of this game. The Clippers won 109-105!

Here are the finalists for player of the game:

Chris Paul: 25 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, 1 block

Nene: 18 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block

Chauncey Billups: 32 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists

Danilo Gallinari: 17 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists

It was very close between CP3 and Nene, but player of the game goes to Chris Paul.

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves (January 20, 2012)

I went to the Clippers vs. Timberwolves game last Friday. I went with my dad. We got to sit in the Premier section at mid-court! Every sports game I've ever gone to I've tried to get on the big screen. I got on it for the first time ever! I got on it 3 times. There is a reason I wrote that 3 that you will find out. The second time I lifted up my shirt so people could see my stomach! Chris Paul didn't play again.

Here were our pre-game selections:

For the whole time I did the first selection and he did the second.

The final score was 101-98. Rubio tied the game at 98 with 20 seconds left in the game. Billups missed a layup with about 2 seconds left. The Timberwolves called a time-out. They passed the ball to Love and he made a buzzer-beeter 3! For the first time in almost two years the Timberwolves got on a 3 game winning streak! Player of the game goes to Love for his buzzer-beeter 3!

Los Angeles Clippers vs Milwaukee Bucks (January 7th, 2012)

Yesterday, I went to the Los Angeles Clippers vs Milwaukee Bucks game! I ended up going by telling my dad that they were playing 2 days ago and he said, "Why don't we go there instead of going to their house?". We went with my friend Riley and his dad. Riley recently created Celtics Nation and Thunder Universe!

They picked us up. We were going to ride the train, but it was to late. We ended up passing the stadium, finding a parking spot ten minutes after the game was supposed to start, finding a shortcut, crossing the street, running through Staples Center, having to go to a different aisle, and making the game 2 seconds before tip-off.

After the first quarter, the score was 15-18 and the Clippers were winning. There were a bunch of amazing dunks by Blake Griffin throughout the game, including an alley-oop from Chris Paul. Lob city! When the first half ended, the score was 40-38 and the Bucks were winning! When the 3rd quarter ended, the score was 65-72 and the Clippers were winning. The Clippers ended up winning 92-86!

Here are some halftime stats:

Chauncey Billups: 6 points

Blake Griffin: 10 points, 8 rebounds

Chris Paul: 4 points

Caron Butler: 6 points, 4 rebounds

In the third quarter Caron Butler got 14 points! That brought him to 20!

Blake Griffin got to a double-double with 6:14 left in the game. That brought him to 20 points, 10 rebounds.

Here are the stats leaders:

Points:

Brandon Jennings: 21

Blake Griffin: 22

Rebounds:

Drew Gooden: 13

Blake Griffin: 14

Assists:

Brandon Jennings: 7

Chris Paul: 7

Steals:

Brandon Jennings: 2

Chris Paul: 4

Blocks:

Jon Leuer: 2

DeAndre Jordan: 3

Chauncey Billups didn't do as good as normal from beyond the three point line, finishing 2 out of 6. (Same stats from beyond the three point line as Caron Butler)

Here is a picture of a sign I got:

Did you watch the game?

Who do you think was player of the game? I think it was Blake Griffin.



Chauncey Billups

I'm going to tell you guys about Chauncey Billups right now! He was drafted 3rd by the Boston Celtics in the 1997 NBA Draft! This guy is an amazing 3 point shooter. I'm going to tell you his statistics from behind the 3 point line after tonight's game!

2 seasons ago he was on the Denver Nuggets. Last season, he was traded to the New York Knicks with Carmelo Anthony. With him, Carmelo, and Amere Stoudemire I was suprised they were not the best team in the NBA! This season, he ended up on the Clippers!
