Kohl Rast: Los Angeles Clippers

“I want the Clippers. I’m pretty sure that this will be the popular opinion because we matchup well against them and I love watching Barea get in Chris Paul’s head. But that seems incredibly unrealistic especially with Memphis somehow still winning games.

After the Clips I think I truthfully want the Warriors. I know that they are a matchup nightmare and a team no one wants to see across the floor from them, but for some reason the Mavericks seem to play some of their best basketball when Golden State walks in the gym. If everything gets put together perfectly, we could give this team some fits.” -Rast
