Back-up forward Craig Smith has a lot of game but the Clippers aren’t letting him have the needed time to show it. Smith has played in 29 games (0 starts) for the Clippers this season and he is averaging 13.9 minutes, 5.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. Craig Smith is shooting 57.3% from the floor this season as he has a nice touch around the basket. If the Clippers are making a playoff run they might consider trading Smith to get whatever they might need because his playing time is going to go down even more when Blake Griffin is ready to return from his broken kneecap.

Baron Davis hit a big time jumper as time expired to give the Clippers a huge home win last night over the Celtics. The Clippers shot 50.7% from the floor which is pretty darn impressive against a Celtics’ team that is known for defense. Chris Kaman had another monster game with 27 points, 12 rebounds and 1 assist. Baron Davis was outstanding running the offense last night finishing with 24 points, 3 rebounds, 13 assists and 3 steals. Eric Gordon only shot 4 of 13 from the floor but he still finished up with 15 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists last night. The Clippers are now 13-17 on the year.

The Clippers must have forgot that they had a game last night in Arizona. They didn’t play any D as the Suns shot 53.7% from the floor and that is what really hurt them in this game. Rasual Butler got the start at small forward for the Clippers yesterday and he led the way for them with 22 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocked shots. Chris Kaman had another solid game as usual with 19 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists. Baron Davis pitched in with 11 points, 1 rebound and 8 assists last night. The Clippers are now 12-17 on the year.

The Clippers shot 50.6% from the floor last night but it just wasn’t good enough to get the job done in Houston. Chris Kaman led the way for the Clippers last night with 29 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocked shots. Baron Davis had a decent game running the offense with 18 points, 2 rebounds and 9 assists. Eric Gordon only shot 6 of 17 from the floor but he still finished up with 15 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists. The Clippers are now 12-16 on the year.

It will be interesting to see how the Clippers divvy up the minutes when Blake Griffin returns from injury. Marcus Camby is the player most likely to lose minutes but he has really played well so far this year. Camby has played in 27 games (all starts) for the Clippers this season and he is averaging 32.9 minutes, 8.5 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.2 blocked shots per game. Camby doesn’t deserve to lose minutes but getting Griffin back will make the Clippers’ front line better and deeper.
