Blake is off to a Great Start

The Clippers are 7 games into the season, which means that we're already 1/10th of the way through the season.  Let's take a look at some of the numbers that Griffin is putting up.

Blake is:
6th in the league in scoring per game at 23.7 ppg
4th in the league in rebounds per game at 10.6 rpg
11th in the league in field goal percentage at 56%
8th in the league in double doubles with 4

And the Clippers are 7th in the Western Conference with a 4-3 record.

Blake's Q Score is Climbing

Blake is starting to pop up everywhere.  After having a killer rookie year, Blake has been in commercials, comedy shorts, talk shows, and more.  He's also been featured on the covers of Sports Illustrated's NBA Preview Issue, and ESPN's The Body Issue.  Now you can put Men's Health on the list.  Look for Blake's popularity to continue to rise as he becomes one of the most popular crossover athletes since Jordan.

Playing in LA definitely has its benefits. 

“Most of my baskets [against the Pacers] came from midrange jumpers…I was the finesse player people said I couldn’t be. I’m excited to show how I’ve added to that part of my game.”

Introducing the 'New Clippers'

A new era is emerging in the 'other' home locker room at the Staples Center.  After years and years of misery, the present and future looks bright for the Clippers.  On Wednesday, the league approved a trade where Chris Paul would go to the Clippers and Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman, Al-Farouq Aminu, and the 2012 Timberwolves' first round draft pick would go to the Hornets.

What does this mean for Blake Griffin?

In a nutshell, this deal combined with the re-signing of DeAndre Jordan, creates probably the most explosive combination in basketball.  Personally, I'm salivating over the thought of CP3 throwing up lobs to 2 of the 3 top dunkers in the NBA.  We've seen the way Paul makes the game so easy for talented players like Tyson Chandler, and now he has 2 guys that can jump out of the gym to pass to.

I fully expect this dynamic to produce enormous amounts of highlight reel dunks and easy transition baskets for the Clippers as they stride into the playoffs.  They might even win a series or 2.  Wouldn't that be something?

Ping Pong Pwned

Looks like Blake got another sponsor in Red Bull and made another funny video to add to his reel.  You're so Hollywood Blake.  Keep it up.

Is there anything this guy can't do?  Extreme posterizing, internet comedy, and now sandwich making?  Man, this guy is gooood.

Blake Flying with Jordan

I don't know about you, but I cannot wait to see more freakish athleticism out of Blake Griffin this year...

It's a good thing DeAndre Jordan was there to tether Blake before he flew away
