Clippers, Warriors dislike each other

The basketball world knows there is deep-seated animosity between the Clippers and
Golden State Warriors.

Just listen to Reggie Miller, the NBA Hall of Famer and basketball analyst, explain why he’s looking forward to the first-round Western Conference matchup between the Clippers and Warriors that starts Saturday at Staples Center.

There were nine individual technical fouls in the four games, two ejections (Blake Griffin and Golden State’s Draymond Green), one flagrant foul (Green) and a confrontation between Griffin and Golden State’s Jermaine O’Neal in the hallway outside of the Clippers’ locker room after one game.

“Any time you hate a team, you can throw out who’s hurt and who’s not playing because it becomes personal,” Millers said. “We’re going to see a lot of hard fouls in this series. David Lee and Blake Griffin can’t stand each other and I love it.”
