The Clippers have four games in the upcoming week against the Orlando Wizards, New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Toronto Rapters.  Orlando and the Knicks will probably be the hardest teams this week, but if the Clippers keep playing like they have been the week could look promising.  News inside Clipper nation is that Blake Griffin has officially been inducted into the NBA All-Star game.   The Clippers record now is 19-31, which puts them 4th in the Pacific and still a threat to be in the playoffs and to make a run.  Blake Griffin is still leading the team with his great work ethic and playing extremely well. There has only been 4 rookies to ever make into the All-Star game, Micheal Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Blake Griffin.  So he joins a group of elite and select few men.
