Pretty much a regular
he's not out of shape... he's apathetic and lazy
you cannot judge any player in the east this year because the conference was a joke....

- The Clippers will be at full strength for the first time in five months when they host the Warriors today in the opener of their Western Conference first-round playoff series at Staples Center. Danny Granger was the final piece to the puzzle and he’ll come off the bench after missing nine games with a strained hamstring. “He looked good,” Clippers coach Doc Rivers said of Granger’s practices leading up to the game. “For a guy who hasn’t played, he looked good.” Granger was one of three players the Clippers added before the trade deadline in late February and still remain with the team, joining Glen Davis and Hedo Turkoglu.
- The Warriors are officially missing a key starter in 7-foot center Andrew Bogut, who’s out indefinitely with a fractured rib, an injury that occurred in the fourth quarter of an overtime loss last Sunday against the Trail Blazers. “He’s in serious pain,” Warriors coach Mark Jackson said before the game. Jermaine O’Neal will start in Bogut’s place. Bogut, who is not with the team in L.A., had enjoyed a relatively healthy season compared to years past, averaging 7.3 points and 10 rebounds in 67 games while shooting 62.7 percent from the floor. With Bogut manning the middle, Golden State gave up an average of 98.8 points per 100 possessions. Without him, the Warriors surrendered 100.5 per 100. Golden State also went 30-13 this season with Bogut starting alongside Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala and David Lee, the third-best mark for a starting five in franchise history.
- Clippers center DeAndre Jordan signed an offer sheet to play for the Warriors in December 2011, but that was quickly matched by the Clippers, one of the moves that has helped elevate the franchise into a championship contender. Jordan led the NBA in rebounding (13.6) and shooting percentage (67.6) during the recently completed regular season, joining Wilt Chamberlain and Dwight Howard as the only players to accomplish that feat. With the Warriors down their starting center, expect big things out of Jordan if he can remain out of foul trouble.
- The series could come down to 3-point shooting, as the Clippers led the NBA in 3-point defense during the regular season at 33.2 percent, while the Warriors tied for the fourth-best clip at 38 percent shooting from long distance. Curry and Thompson have formed the top long-range shooting tandem in NBA history, posting the highest total of 3s made in 2012-13 (483) and then bettering that by one this season.
