Can the Warriors beat the Clippers in the 1st round?

[amrit]

I've spoken to a lot of people about this, and everyone I know thinks the Clipps are a lock to beat GSW. I firmly believe that GSW has a good chance to upset the clipper and very curious to see what the opening line would be.

No way, especially if Bogut is indeed out of the series.

I don't see it happening, Clips have all the tools needed to beat the Warriors. Maybe not 'blow them out of the water' because the Warriors aren't a bad team... but they should be able to knock em off.

Think about how many viewers and money this series is gonna bring in. 2 explosive and exciting offensives, from the alley-oops, dunks, 3 pointer...wouldnt' surprised me if the refs helped push this series to 6 or 7 game.

The warriors are capable of anything. I watched every game this year.

When this team is hot they can beat any team in the NBA. That being said, they also die by the 3 ball. It will depend on what warriors team comes to play.

The defense will suffer with the absence of Bogut. He offensively is a burden (polar opposite of DLee, which is why they both get a pass for being so one sided).

Ultimately, as a big warriors fan I wouldn't touch series bet.

Why? The Clippers have a much much superior bench and without Bogut the combo of Clipper bigs will destroy the undersized DLee, Speights, Draymond Green.

J Oneil is gonna have to play the series of his career for them to have a chance or Ezeli needs to finally get his ass back in a uniform as he has been day to day for months

Now give me some betpoints

I can see it happening, GSW outscoring them, Clips can go on scoring droughts. The thing is though, Bogut can stay out of foul trouble and GSW cant defend, still I think its possible by them getting and staying hot like they beat Denver.

Cant really see it.. will be an entertaining series but barring injuries Clippers are built for the post season with cp3 at the reigns

[bob6199]

no bogut means LAC in 5, did you not see Mozgov kill them...

[farmhouse1]

I don't think this idiot understood. What does "the referees pushing the series to 7 games" have to do with who wins the series??if Bogut doesn't play then they don't have a chance. Only of Bogut plays they have a good chance

CP3 has zero post-season cred right now. Freaking DWill is a more accomplished post-season leader. The only hope is that Griffin has matured enough to be a leader, but it is tough to be a leader in crunch time as a post player.

It's possible they match up well. It depends on injuries for both teams tho.
