Los Angeles Clippers vs. Washington Wizards (February 4, 2012)

Yesterday the Clippers went to Washington to face the Wizards. The Clippers dominated the whole game. Both Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan got double-doubles. John Wall was close, but did not get there. The Clippers won 107-81. They would've won, but Blake Griffin was sitting out at the end because they were up by so much.

Finalists for player of the game:

Blake Griffin: 21 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, 1 block

John Wall: 14 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal

DeAndre Jordan: 18 points, 11 rebounds, 3 blocks

Player of the game goes to Blake Griffin because if they didn't take him out at the end, he would've gotten a triple-double.

Who do you think was player of the game?

All-Star Starters from the Clippers for 2012

A few days ago the 2012 NBA All-Stars were announced! These are even more exciting because there are two starters from the Clippers. They are Blake Griffin and Chris Paul. It will be very exciting to see them play in the game.



This year, it is very doubtful that Blake Griffin will be in the dunk contest. He would, but he doesn't want to. DeAndre Jordan will probably take his spot. He says that he will be in it on one condition. That condition is that he doesn't have to play against his teammate, Blake Griffin.

Do you think that anyone else from the Clippers should've made the 2012 All-Star game?

Dallas Mavericks @ Los Angeles Clippers (January 18th, 2012)

Blake Griffin goes up for a dunk over Lamar Odom.

On Wednesday, the Clippers played the Mavericks and won 91-89. My uncle Brennan and I watched this game, and we made some pre-game predictions:

Mo Williams scored his first seven shots and finished off the game with 26. DeAndre Jordan got 19 points, with 9 rebounds on the side. Chris Paul didn't play again on Wednesday, missing his third straight game with a hamstring injury. Brian Cook also sat out for his third in a row, with a sprained left ankle. Going into the 2nd quarter, the Clippers were winning by 4 points. Going into the half, the Clippers were winning by 1 point. Going into the 4th quarter, the game was tied. It was close all the way. Caron Butler wasn't playing as good, missing his first 7 shots. This is how the last minute went. The Clippers were winning 88-86, when Terry scored a 3. It was 89-88 Mavs, when with 4 seconds left, Billups made a 3, bringing it to 91-89. There was 1 second left, but the Mavs missed their shot.

Weekly Clippers Questionnaire

Hi. I, Mark, will be doing a weekly clippers questionnaire where I ask some questions. Comment and answer these questions.

1. The Clips are playing the Bucks tonight. Who's a better center: DeAndre Jordan or Andrew Bogut
2. Will Vinny Del Negro be a good coach?
3. How many 3 pointers will Chris Paul make this season?

Answer!

DeAndre Jordan

Since I've told you about my two favorite players on the Clippers, it is time that I tell you about my third favorite, DeAndre Jordan! DeAndre Jordan is a great player. He is also a great dunker. I think he is the fourth best dunker in the league after Blake Griffin, Dwight Howard, and Serge Ibaka. Him and Blake Griffin make a great front-court.

DeAndre Jordan was the 35th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Clippers. In one of his games, he was the third person to ever have 10 dunks in one game!  That tells you how much of a monster this guy is! He is by far the best center the the Clippers have!

Here is a picture of him:

Have you ever heard of DeAndre Jordan?

Who do you think is the best center on the Clippers?
