For the Clippers to make any sort of run, superstars PG Chris Paul and PF/C Blake Griffin MUST be at the top of their games. That is just a given. What else needs to happen? For starters, star C DeAndre Jordan needs to continue to alleviate Griffin’s pressure on defense by locking down the rim at the less-glamorous end of the court. In addition, their role players must step up in a big way and carry the second-unit, which is by no means an easy task. However, if this can be done and Coach Doc Rivers works the offense cohesively (pretty much a given), don’t be surprised if this team wins the title.
