Clips -7.5
Haven't felt this strongly about a game in a while. There are so many angles that make me think clippers.
1. Griffin playing a full game will have a huge shift on the rebounds. Warriors got outrebounded by clips during regular season even when they have bogut playing. Last game was a fluke, barnes/thompson do not get those amount of rebounds normally. I expect clips to outboard warriors by at least 15.
2. Doc will ensure that the Clips keep there emotions under control. I expect less fouls, turnovers and they will not miss that many free throws again. 7 Fts were missed by there best shooters
3. Refs admitted they made a mistake. Human nature would be for refs(regardless of if they are new or not) tonight to try and save face(atone for other refs) for the previous mistakes and call in favor of clips especially since it is in LA. No human is immune to peer pressure. They are going to let Griffin get away with murder this game if he wants to. This also means Paul will be on floor for more minutes and you should have seen the difference with Paul on the floor versus off last game(Paul might play 48 minutes if needed) .
