3. Los Angeles Clippers (Up 2-0 on Portland Trailblazers)
The Clippers come into this postseason with a lot to prove and they’ve held up on that challenge in their series with the Blazers. They’ve shot the ball extremely well (50% from the field and 37% from three), as well as played great defense (allowing 88 ppg and 26% shooting from three). Chris Paul is also playing like he had something to prove this round against Damian Lillard (26.5 ppg, 8 apg, 6 rpg, 49% from the field).
