Things were going great for the Clippers – fighting through injuries, victories over the Celtics, Blazers, Lakers, and Heat, and just one game below .500. Then, number one draft pick Blake Griffin gets hurt and is out for the year, Chris Kaman missed four games with a back injury, the Lakers crush them by 40 points, and they still face games this month against the Cavs (for the second time in January), at Boston, and at Denver. At 18-22 at the halfway point of the season, Los Angeles is currently 3rd in the Pacific Division, 10th in the West, and only four games out of the 8th playoff position.

About The Los Angeles Clippers
With ups and downs definitely defining the season so far, maybe it’s time for another up? Kaman, who usually does not come back strong after time off, came back the other night and immediately hit a couple of huge jumpers in the first quarter while also blocking 3 shots, scoring 22 points, and grabbing 7 rebounds throughout the contest. Could this be a sign of things once again turning in favor of the Clippers?
With Kaman their center back, the Clips also regain their leading scorer who averages 20.4 points per game, while also grabbing 9.3 rebounds (2.6 offensive, 6.8 defensive), handing off 1.9 assists, and blocking 1.39 shots a night. At the other end of the floor it is power forward Marcus Camby who is the defensive stalwart, leading his team with 11.6 rebounds (3rd in NBA, 3.1 offensive, 8.6 defensive), 2.05 blocks (7th in the NBA), while also making 1.28 steals. Rounding out the team’s stat leaders is point guard Baron Davis (16.2 points, 3.5 rebounds) who is number one with 8.1 assists (6th in NBA) and 1.75 steals (tied for 10th in NBA), while shooting guard Eric Gordon (17.4 points, 3 assists, 1.29 steals), small forward Al Thornton (11.6 points, 4.2 rebounds), and shooting guard Rasual Butler (11 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists) complete the list of top performers.
Depending on their luck on any given night, the sometime snake-bitten Los Angeles Clippers will either provide a solid performance or fall in disappointing fashion, due to something maybe out of their control. This is a team with great potential, and one which can make up the difference and make the playoffs following the second half of the season. Get your Clippers tickets now and help cheer this team on for the rest of the year, and quite possibly into the playoffs.
The Los Angeles Clippers ticket holders were rewarded for their loyalty by the team having the first overall pick of the 2009 draft. They selected Blake Griffin, but in order to make a spot for him on the team, they traded away Zach Randolph for Quentin Richardson, then later traded Richardson for Sebastian Telfair, Craig Smith and Mark Madsen. Los Angeles Clipper ticket holders are hoping these are the trades their team needs to move successfully into the playoffs with a strong team leading the way at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
