The Clippers are coming off of a season of change and growth. Blake Griffin put up career numbers, crashing both the glass and rims alike. His improved play could be crucial for Paul to finally advance deep into the playoffs, and head coach Doc Rivers was brought in to make sure it happens.
Golden State will look to turn a breakout playoff run last season into something with even more substance. The Warriors also made a key offseason adjustment by shedding salary and signing versatile forward Andre Iguodala. The team has been mired with injuries and inconsistencies, but they still broke the 50-win mark for the first time as a franchise since the 1991-1992 season.
The teams split the season series 2-2 with the Clippers landing the final punch in a 111-98 victory. Los Angeles is favored to win the series.
