All-NBA: Paul 1st Team, Griffin 2nd Team

Clips Nation — For the second consecutive season, the Los Angeles Clippers placed two players on the All-NBA teams, with Chris Paul being named to the first team and Blake Griffin being named to the second team.

For Griffin it is his second straight second team selection. The Clippers were one of five teams to take up two of the fifteen All-NBA slots -- in fact, all five first team selections were joined by a te...

We'll focus on Dwight Howard next week. The power forward’s production has dipped significantly after his award-winning 2010-11 season. That statement applies to both Dirk Nowitzki and Blake Griffin.
