114 & 115 scored in 2 wins against the Clips. They allow 91.5 against the rest of the league.



This is somewhat misleading. LAC usually play at a pace of around 94 possessions, but against GSW in both games there were around 101 possessions for each team. That alone will tick up offensive numbers.

That said, GSW has played well against LAC, unfortunately this means nothing come the playoffs. There's no link between regular season success vs a team and playoff success vs a team.

Uh... Golden State in 07 owned Dallas in the regular season and upset them as an 8 seed in the 1st round.

Same with Spurs/Clips last year. It was laughable at ESPN actually making a case that the Clips had a chance in that series.

Both games Clippers had played the night before too, which obviously doesn't happen in the playoffs. Last night their transition defense was especially bad which explains the possessions.

Golden State is impressive though, having a top 10 defense with the players they have is pretty amazing. If they can somehow not screw up Bogut's injury again and get him healthy they could be a really tough matchup for any team.

so you are saying they allowed the other team to control the pace of the game? seems like GSW's plan worked, then? how is that anywhere near misleading?
