Perhaps the most exciting match up in the second round.
Regular Season Series (2-2)
Game 1 Nov 13 2013
OKC 103 @ LAC 111
Game 2 Nov 21 2013
LAC 91 @ OKC 105
Game 3 Feb 23 2014
LAC 125 @ OKC 117
Game 4 Apr 9 2014
OKC 107 @ LAC 101
This will be a big test for the Clippers' front court and defensive credentials. DeAndre was huge in the Golden State series, hopefully he gets to do the same thing in this series but I'm not too optimistic.
The key for OKC has always been their defense. They looked shaky against Memphis and now they're facing a team loaded with scoring options. That said, Westbrook is a different beast than Curry and he's not even their best player, so Doc will have a huge task stopping not only Westbrook but also Durant. We have no one that can stop Durant unlike Memphis. I expect KD to hit his stride and put up MVP level numbers again in this series.
Clippers in 7, since Paul is not 100%. We need Redick, Crawford and Collison to step up huge more than anyone, bench scoring are the Clips biggest advantage. I believe Ibaka is OKC's X-Factor, they look unbeatable when he's putting up 18 and 10.
Griffin is going to continue beasting this series.
