It took the clippers 7 games to beat the Mavs.

Kahwi Leonard shot 43% on long twos in the regular season. He shot 70% on long twos in round 1 vs dallas and they still almost lost to the Mavs

Playoffs are about matchups. Comparisons such as this are pretty hard to take very seriously.
 
well with conley out.....ingles is going to need to step the **** UP, he looked like UTTER GARBAGE vs the grizzlies...it was sad to watch.
 
Clippers should be tired in game 1 but we were saying the same about Grizzlies when they came to play us after play in. I hope we come out focused and in sync. I think main things are limiting the turnovers and winning the rebounding.
 
Let’s be clear here: LAC’s biggest problem is Gobert. A big decider in this series is, therefore, how quickly and effectively we counter their attempts to neutralize him.
 
I think there will be some opportunities to get a lot of offensive rebounds this series. Someone like Royce could really feast on that.

I agree with this completely, and LA certainly has the ability to disrupt our offense, but what is unique about Dallas' offense that LA struggled with but is able to put the clamps down on us?

At least he's had a week to rest, work out and prep. Can't ask for more than that. I'm guessing he'll guard PG.

He had a week off, then played 27 minutes per game over 5 games, then got another week off. I hope he's good to go.

Luka. If they switch he can take whoever they switch on to him. Bev was too small so they had to burn one of their big wings on him. Since he's bigger he can see over the defenders and still get a shot off... even if highly contested.

DM may be able to get into the paint and have more success there but if Pat guards him that means Kawhi and PG are out there to help and dive in. They were also very physical with Don... how the game is officiated will have a big influence unfortunately.

We have more creators and more shooters so they will be spread a bit thin.

This is a very general answer, but the Mavs are less flow oriented than us. Luka is their alpha and omega. Their offense goes as he goes... and he’s very hard to stop. Definitely one of the best iso players in the entire league.

We’re a well-oiled machine. LAC has the grit and wedges to throw into the gears. We don’t have anyone nearly as good as Luka when it comes to iso stuff.
 
I am not counting on the Clips being tired. They have had time to recoup and get ready for us. They also have a style of defense that disrupts our offensive flow. The good news for us is that they like a half court offense which helps us use Rudy better. I think beating them is tough and even tougher without Conley but the Clips have been known to really lay eggs at times. Here is hoping.

Our 3 pt barrage isn’t nearly as potent without our all-star PG. I was worried about this series even before conley got hurt. Now I’m pretty pessimistic about our chances. Hope I’m wrong.

I think this is realistic

We can win this, but it won't be 4-0. I hope we don't have to do 7 games. I think I'll be happy with a 4-2 win. Well, of course.

That's a bit different. The Grizzlies were coming off a short two-game stretch and have the youngest team in the playoffs. The Clippers aren't nearly as young and just battled it out for seven games. They should be more worn down than the Grizzlies on that alone.

I do think the Clippers going small against Utah in game one can also wear them down pretty quickly too and hopefully it's a decision that really comes back and bites them in the butt.

I remember in 2007 when the Warriors went small against the Jazz in the semifinals and Boozer picked them apart the whole game. LAC is better, obviously, than the 2007 Warriors but I think this Jazz team is better than that Jazz team - at least I hope so.

No one has been able to stop Mitchell in the playoffs.

Clippers haven't had to play in front of a crowd like they will see tonight in a long time. Vivivt going to be rocking. Plus there is the often discussed altitude factor.

Dark mode jerseys and dark mode court and the crowd colors get me so hyped.

Let's go jazz!
