Outside shooting, for one. The Clips are highly dependent upon interior penetration from Paul or Crawford, or working inside out from Blake, who isn't the best post-up player. You saw it last year in the playoffs -- OKC sagged off the Clippers and their entire ball movement shut down.
The Warriors are also much more adept at moving the ball and finding the open player, which is easier to do when your guys can camp out behind the 3 point line and be serious threats.
The Clippers defense is also vulnerable to mismatches. Blake is not a rim protector, and Jordan can be exploited by good post play or by being too aggressive and picking up fouls.
