Have they been blown out at all? I don't know, but they have played them 4 times last year, and 3(??) times this year. I feel they have all been down to the wire.

Refs bailed out Curry for 5 points in a short period yesterday. Refusing to fix bent rim and "fouling" a flailing Curry on a 35 ft 3 attempt. Clips couldn't get over the hump.

Just looked, the last 6 games they have played the largest deficit is 14...in a Clippers win. However, GSW are 6-1 the last two years playing each other. So like I said, I'd expect GSW to win, but the Clippers are definitely a very tough matchup for them.

Yeah....GSW is simply better. Clips might be a tougher matchup without Griffin simply because the ball moves around more and different guys on the perimeter are shooting. Without Griffn the Clips have had several games where Paul, Redick and Crawford have really shot well....tough to defend those 3 on perimeter and also not allow easy lobs to Jordan.

I highly recommend the newest edition of ESPN the Magazine. It's the NBA Analytics issue and it's very in depth and interesting. It's the best issue for actual reading in about a decade for that magazine. The articles on Kawhi and Giannis are fun reads.

Finishes with 59 and 20. 24/34 from the field.

And he only had 8 in the first.

The fadeaway he hit for 57 was disgusting.

Nba.com usually has 15 minute highlights up of each game. Like a condensed game. Shows pretty much every bucket. Don't think you have to have LP to watch.
