NBA: LA Clippers vs Golden State Warriors matchup analysis

Warriors/Clippers : The main event of this superb Christmas day in the NBA, with two of the best teams in the NBA and in the West head to head at Staples Center. Clearly the absence of C Andrew Bogut will be a real issue for Golden State, as they need the Australian guy to contain Griffin and Jordan, even if PF Lee is returning from his injury. The battle of 2 superb point guard will be great to watch, as Steph Curry and Chris Paul will face off once again, as we all remember last season playoff series where Paul and the Clips knocked out Curry and the Warriors after such a superb series. Curry is on an other planet right now, as the Warriors PG is shooting the ball so well and he shared it too, a lot with his « Splash Brothers » partner, SG Klay Thompson, who is also so great in this season. The Clippers are better on D, as they paint is so physical and Matt Barnes is really good to contain opponents shooters. I see a dominance by Blake Griffin over Lee and guys like Green or Speights, as him and Jordan are too physical to handle for the Warriors. Jamal Crawford and Andre Iguodala are such 2 amazing weapons of the bench, as this game will I think be a high scoring affair between 2 great attacks. I see the Clippers winning this game, as their inside players will thrive. The Warriors live with their outside success and that could be really be a limit for them, as this was their inability to score inside that eliminated them last season against the same Clips in the postseason.
