I must say that the Clippers impressed me by moving past the Grizzlies in the 1st round because I didn't see that happening with that being said, the road to the NBA Finals has gotten much more difficult for the "new kids" on the block as they now face the rested Spurs. Spurs guard Tony Parker had an incredible year and Chris Paul has always been spectacular and this will be a great match up of point guard play. Can the Clippers match the Spurs height? Based on them matching the Grizzlies, I will say yes. Tim Duncan is still efficient but he can't be great on a nightly basis, one just never knows game in and game out what Duncan will deliver and that's why the play of Tony Parker is so important, he is the Spurs engine.
The Clippers will have an abundance of wings who can check Mano Ginobili and also Danny Green....more pressure on Parker. The Spurs have been one of the hottest teams in the league but the Clippers believe it or not have more weapons and I'm not even speaking of Blake Griffen. This season the Spurs adopted an offensive game and relied less on their defense but this series they must turn back the clock on their defense
