Denver Nuggets @ Los Angeles Clippers (February 2, 2012)

Blake Griffin (#32) going up for a dunk.

This game was close at the half, being 54-51 Nuggets, but a stretch in the third quarter brought the score to 86-67 Nuggets. The final score was 112-91 Nuggets. Danilo Gallinari got 21 points, and made all of his 5 attempted 3-pointers. Ty Lawson had 18, Arron Afflalo had 15 and Timofey Mozgov had 11 points. For the Clippers, Blake Griffin had 18, Chris Paul had 15, and Caron Butler had 11. Griffin and Paul were both voted for the All-Star team, giving the Clips 2 players on the All-Star team for the first time since 1976. Chauncey Billups, who played great when the Clippers beat Denver 109-105, had only 8 points and 3 assists this game against his former team. Here are the finalists:

It was tough between Griffin and Gallinari, but the player of the game is Danilo Gallinari 

Kenyon Martin

Yesterday, Kenyon Martin signed with the Clippers! I did not think this would be the team that he would sign with. I thought he would sign with the Lakers. Now I'm wondering if he will be the back-up to Blake Griffin. I think he will be.

Kenyon Martin was the 1st pick in the 2000 NBA Draft by the New Jersey Nets. He's played as number 4 for most of his career, but he will be playing as number 2. During the lockout, he played in China. His team was the Xinjiang Flying Tigers. He's played for the New Jersey Nets and Denver Nuggets. He played for Cincinnati in college.

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.



Who do you think was player of the game?

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!
