It won;t be a repeat of Game 2, Warriors seemed content with already stealing one game in LA and were lax on defense. Golden State finished third in the NBA in defensive efficiency this year, a lot of times their high scoring games (on both ends) are a by product of their pace. I actually expect some defense to be played tonight.

Agreed, just not sure the Clippers know how to play "D" ??? GS has no problem.

With a total of 215, one team may be enough. But believe it or not, the Clippers were seventh in defensive efficiency and you have to at least be capable of playing SOME defense to play for Doc.

Clippers fifth in field goal percentage allowed (44.1 percent) and they led the NBA in three-point defense (33.2 percent), which is obvioulsy important vs. the Warriors. These teams are identical in that they would allow much fewer points if they did not play so fast.

I know Doc wanted to teach them defense, but I think he kind of chaged his mind and just let them score. I mean they led the league in PPG @ 108 + and PPG @ home @ 111. Plus they average giving up 101 to their opponents. Not exactly a defensive jugernaut. But I guess in this league being ranked 7th is pretty good.

Read Post #6, the 101 allowed is a bit deceptive.
