The Clippers only shot 40.9% and 35.7% there first two game here with Paul and last game without him only shot 41.9%. Portland was the carefree dog early in this series but now has pressure as they are a double digit favorite and expected to handle the injury ravaged Clippers. In this potential series clinching 4th straight win look for a defensive minded intensity and if they get a late lead they won't go for the throat but instead slow down the pace and look forward to round 2.
