The Clippers went 11-3 in the month of January which surprised many. With Blake Griffin missing the entire month due to a quad injury and now a hand injury the Clippers are not full strength.

Los Angeles also traded Josh Smith this month so it hasn’t been the easiest of month for the Clippers head man. Chris Paul was named an All-Star this month and Jamal Crawford stepped up his play this month as well.

For Los Angeles this is a bright spot in what has been a rough last couple days. Congratulations Doc!
