Los Angeles Clippers vs Golden State Warriors Preview
The LA Clippers face another hard examination of their mettle when they go to the Chase Center in San Francisco to take on the Golden State Warriors. The Clippers recently quieted the doubters who had questioned their team chemistry when they beat the Lakers 112-102 in the first true test of their new-look roster. LA's win was particularly impressive considering that star forward Paul George missed the game. The contest served as a coming-out party of sorts for the Clippers' newest star, Kawhi Leonard, who logged 32 points.
Kawhi scored 30 points and pulled down 6 rebounds to lead the LA Clippers to their latest victory. The Clippers face another contender for the Western Conference Championship in the Golden State Warriors on October 24. The Warriors come into their NBA regular season opener after being thoroughly trounced by the Los Angeles Lakers during the preseason.
LA Clippers vs GS Warriors Predictions
Golden State just lost both the NBA Finals and Kevin Durant to the Brooklyn Nets, and they're trying to stage an athletic renaissance in their shiny new digs, the Oakland Arena. This first competitive basketball game—post-Durant, post-failed-reunion-at-the-top-of-the-league-last-year—is somewhat of a coming-out party for the Dubs under new coach Steve Kerr, and a next-chapter opportunity for Green and Steph Curry.
Los Angeles Clippers: New Kings of LA
Both the Clippers and the Lakers spent enormous sums to enhance their rosters, so their battle promised to be a decider in the West. For now, with a 5-1 record, the Clippers hold the top spot in that throne. A victory against a depleted Warriors squad will undoubtedly validate their assertions as the new Kings of L.A. The weak defense of GS, particularly against large players, was revealed during the preseason. Once more, Green and Looney will hope for a better showing against Kawhi. Leonard’s statistics continue to be as impressive as they were in the season he won his last title.
The game is one that the Clippers top basketball betting sites in the Philippines make big favourites to win. The Warriors are the Clippers' next opponent, but they happen to be the team that most threatens the Clippers' very tenuous playoff hopes.
