Are you disappointed about your upcoming surgery? I know Clipper Nation is sad we won’t get to see you play this season.
Chris, Los Angeles, CA

Blake Griffin: Of course I am very disappointed that I won’t be coming back this season; it’s just something that I need to take care. The good news is I’ll have all summer to get healthy so that I can come back and be ready to play 100% next season.

Which teammate of yours has taught you the most thus far? And what did he teach you?
Daniel Lujan, Orange, CA

BG: Chris Kaman has probably taught me the most. It’s a lot of the little stuff, mentioning where to be, when to be in what position, how to catch the ball and what shoulder to roll with... stuff like that.

Hey Blake, who's your favorite (currently active) player in the NBA? How 'bout all-time?
Mark Bae, Glendale, CA

BG: My favorite active player is LeBron James. Of all time I’d have to say Magic Johnson. Seeing us play against LeBron on Saturday night… that was really cool to see him play up close. I’d only seen him play in person a couple of times before back when I was in high school. It was good to see him like this, it was a little bit different.

What do you think of Eric Gordon as a player and as a teammate? Go Clippers!
Pedro Mora, North Hollywood, CA

BG: Eric Gordon is a great player and extremely talented and he’s going to be one of the better scorers in this league for a while. As a teammate, he’s great. He’s a quiet guy but he really comes out of his shell every now and then.

Great post we are going to need Blake ready to go espcially with Camby gone. Don't think the team can afford to look for a starter PF they have to just hope he is ready.

Well if Camby jets this offseason, we gotta make sure we resign Craig. He'll get his minutes if he comes back next season. DJ has been playing better as of late so I think if he can maintain this form he should easily backup Kaman next year.
