The Los Angeles Clippers have lofty goals for the 2011-12 season, so they won’t likely have much P.T. for their rookies.  21-year old power forward Trey Thompkins has played in 4 games (0 starts) for the Clippers so far this year and he is averaging 7.3 minutes, 3.3 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game.  21-year old shooting guard Travis Leslie has only played in 2 games (0 starts) for the Clippers so far this year and he is averaging 4.5 minutes per game.  Leslie has scored 2 points and he has 1 rebound so far this year for the Clippers.

The Clippers outscored the Heat 9-3 in overtime last night and they held them to 39.5% shooting from the floor, which were the big reasons for the win.  Chris Paul led the way for the Clippers in this game with 27 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 steals.  Caron Butler (20 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist) and Blake Griffin (20 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot) also had really good games for the Clippers in this game.  Chauncey Billups only shot 2 for 11 from the floor and he still finished up with 12 points, 1 rebound, 6 assists and 2 steals.  DeAndre Jordan was a beast in the paint for the Clippers last night with 8 points, 11 rebounds and 6 blocked shots in this year.  The Clippers are now 5-3 on the year.

The Clippers didn’t play good D last night as the Blazers shot 51.4% from the floor in this game and it really hurt them.  Caron Butler (20 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists), Chauncey Billups (19 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists) and Blake Griffin (18 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal) led the way for the Clippers last night.  Mo Williams (14 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal) and Chris Paul (11 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals) also pitched in for the Clippers in this game.  The Clippers are now 4-3 on the year.

31-year old shooting guard Caron Butler is off to a solid start for the Clippers so far this year.  He has played in 6 games (all starts) for the Clippers so far this year and he is averaging 34.0 minutes, 14.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals per game.  Butler is the #4 option offensively for the Clippers behind Blake Griffin, Chris Paul and Chauncey Billups….but he’s just fine with that.  Butler is a glue type of player who plays hard at both ends of the court.  He was one of the better additions that the Clippers made to the roster after the lockout was lifted.

The Clippers turned up the D last night as they held the Bucks to 36.3% shooting from the floor.  Blake Griffin led the way for the Clippers last night with 22 points, 14 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocked shots.  Caron Butler (20 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals) and Chauncey Billups (19 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 4 steals) also had big games for the Clippers last night.  Mo Williams filled up the stat sheet with 10 points, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot in 22 minutes off the bench.  The Clippers are now 4-2 on the year.

22-year old power forward Blake Griffin is off to a blazing start this year for the Los Angeles Clippers.  He has played in 4 games (all starts) for the Clippers so far this year and he is averaging 36.8 minutes, 26.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steals per game.  He is shooting 54.8% from the floor so far this year, as his range is starting to expand.  Griffin is the go-to man on the Clippers and Chris Paul will likely be feeding him the ball quite a bit this year.
