The Warriors are built to nullify some of the Clippers ' defensive strengths , imo . CP 3 and DJ are far and away their best defenders , and DJ is their only true rim protector . A lot of that rim protection ends up being fairly useless against some of our best lineups because DJ will have to play out on the perimeter , opening up the inside for great finishers like KD and Steph . Another big advantage is that Klay will always face one of their weaker defenders in headtohead matchups because the best defenders will be on KD and Steph . He should feast on smaller guards like JJ . That said , the Clippers should also have a field day with the Warriors ' interior D as well because athletes like Blake and DJ can just jam all over Pachulia . Will definitely be a fun game .
