Playoff Prediction: Clippers over Warriors in 7

Update 4.26.14 -- Game One of this series was weird, the refs interjected themselves into the game early and often which led to Griffin and Iguodala spending large chunks of the game on the bench.  The Warriors snuck a win, a mild upset.  The Clippers dominated Game Two, played well enough in Game Three.  Blake Griffin is the MVP so far, building on the growth he showed this season: increasingly better ball handler, plays offense with total confidence these days, making the most of Deandre Jordan's growth.  What can I say?  This series is pretty much what I expected: the Clippers strike me as the more sound team, the Warriors the wild risk/reward squad that can beat anybody anywhere or any given night.  I expect the Warriors to win Sunday, even the Series heading back to LA.  Otherwise this Series seems to be on its original glide path.
