When asked about this matchup at Tuesday's practice, Clippers head coach Ty Lue said, "We've just got to see how it goes. I think just seeing how a team tries to attack on both ends, how they try to attack defensively, and how they try to attack us offensively. You put a lot of prep into just one game, but once the first game is over things are going to change. But you've got to prepare for it, and so our biggest thing, just want to see the first game and see how they try to attack us, and then just kind of go from there."

On matchup-specific adjustments, Lue said, "I think we've got to be the more physical team, because if we allow those guys to run around and get to their spots, with Book, he's shooting 50-something percent from mid-range, KD is shooting almost 60 percent, CP is shooting 50 percent. So we've just got to be physical. We know Ayton killed us on the glass, offensive rebounds and things like that. So we've just got to be physical. I think that's going to help our defense, just being physical, being into bodies, not let those guys move around and roam freely, so that's got to be our mindset going into game one."

The Clippers know they have a tough task ahead, but they are ready for the challenge.
