KEY GAME INFORMATION
LA CLIPPERS: BACKCOURT: PG Chris Paul remains the ideal point guard, an elite distributor for SG J.J. Redick and the team's bigs who can score with the best of them. Redick is pretty prototypical at his position, too, as an excellent shooter and solid defender. Neither, however is getting any younger. Neither is SG Jamal Crawford, who the Clippers re-signed for big money in the offseason. . . . FRONTCOURT: Between injuries and off-the-court incidents, the 2015-16 season was one to forget for PF Blake Griffin. If he can stay on the court, there's no good reason for him not to dominate. C DeAndre Jordan is a known entity at this point. The offense will never run through him, but it certainly needs him underneath. Luc Mbah a Moute, Alan Anderson and Paul Pierce will all get minutes at an understaffed SF position.. . . . BOTTOM LINE: The composition of Doc Rivers' group hasn't changed much in recent years, and the window's closing as Paul ages. The talent is there; is this the year the chemistry and luck fall into place?
PORTLAND: BACKCOURT: PG Damian Lillard was a snub for the All-Star Game last season, but was awarded Second Team All-NBA status at the year's end, joining the likes of Chris Paul and Kevin Durant. He's one of the best leaders a team could ask for. He and SG C.J. McCollum will dominate the ball, with McCollum being a surprisingly efficient scorer. SG Allen Crabbe, his backup, returns on a big contract and likely with a larger role. . . . FRONTCOURT: PF Al-Farouq Aminu is the best defensive player on the roster, and he averaged nearly 15 points and nine rebounds per game in the postseason last year. C Ed Davis is the other outstanding defender on the front line. SF Evan Turner arrives via free agency to do a little bit of everything except, hopefully, shoot three-pointers. C Mason Plumlee and PF Meyers Leonard both look to take steps forward. . . . BOTTOM LINE: After tons of talent left in free agency left last offseason, the Blazers greatly exceeded expectations by winning 44 games and a playoff series. Their core is young, so there's no reason for them to not keep improving.
PREVIEW
Clippers open season with rematch against Trail Blazers
 

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Most pundits put the Los Angeles Clippers on a short list of contenders to make it to the NBA's Western Conference finals this season.

That's just fine with Doc Rivers, the president of basketball operations and head coach of the Clippers.

"It's not a burden," said Rivers, who begins his fourth season at the Clipper helm against the Portland Trail Blazers Thursday night at the Moda Center. "Why should people expecting you to win ever be a burden I've never figured that one out."

"You should be excited and happy any time you're in the NBA and you're on a team that people think is good. That's a pleasure."

The Clippers are good.

The presence of All-Stars such as Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan plus veterans J.J. Redick, Jamal Crawford and Austin Rivers, the coach's son guarantee that.

Now the team has added depth with free-agent signings of forwards Marreese Speights and Brandon Bass and guards Alan Anderson and Raymond Felton to minimum deals.

It's ironic that the Clippers open the 2016-17 campaign against the team that knocked them out of the first round of the playoffs a year ago. Injuries to Paul and Griffin during the series play a large role in that, but it adds a bit of intrigue to the Clippers' debut game this season.

"We're excited," said Austin Rivers, who signed a three-year, $35-million contract in the offseason. "It's going to be a fun environment considering that's the team that knocked us out last year. We have our whole team back. So do they. It's going to be a fun game.

The Trail Blazers got a two-day jump on the season over the Clippers, coming from behind to defeat the Utah Jazz 113-104 Tuesday night in their home opener. Damian Lillard launched an unofficial MVP campaign by scoring 39 points, 16 in the decisive fourth quarter.

"The best way to show that I mean that is by going out and playing like it," the Blazers' two-time All-Star point guard said. "Tonight was a good start."

Portland had an outstanding offensive game, making 39 of 75 shots from the field (.520), 13 of 19 shots from the 3-point line (.684) and all 22 attempts from the foul line. The Blazers made their first seven 3-point tries and were 7 for 8 in the first half.

But Portland's defense -- a focus coming into this season -- was spotty at best, especially in yielding a 37-point third quarter to the Jazz.

"Sometimes we get into an offensive mode, because we have so many guys who can score," reserve forward Ed Davis said. "We can outscore 85 percent of the teams in the league. To be able to win night in and night out, though, you have to get stops. That's what we did in the fourth. We've got to have more quarters like the fourth and less like the third.

"You give up 37 in a quarter, no way you can win a game. Giving up 30 in a quarter is a lot."

The Blazers are special because of their camaraderie, Utah coach Quin Snyder said.

"They fit together really well," Snyder said. "Everybody embraces who they are. That's what makes them such a good team. They know their strengths. They complement each other. They're clearly an unselfish group, and that makes them hard to defend."
