The Golden State Warriors’ “Death Star” lineup of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green is going to wreak havoc on the league this season, just like the evil empire. It’ll be on Blake Griffin to play Luke Skywalker and blow that lineup up for the LA Clippers.
They are one of the few teams that might be able to withstand the constant barrage from this lineup, and it starts and ends with Griffin’s defense on Durant. This would allow the Clippers to stay big with DeAndre Jordan at center guarding Green and overwhelm the Warriors’ frontcourt, relying on their lone advantage of size and rebounding.
