Time to take a break from the glorious Giants and watch the Warriors in their second game of the year against the perennial doormat Clippers. Except that now these Clippers feature a rookie who is capable of completely dominating inside.

Thankfully for the Warriors, the Clippers aren’t even running plays for Blake Griffin yet. But Lee and Biedrins will still have their hands full with the guy who’s season-ending knee injury last year opened the door for Steph Curry and Tyreke Evans to pretend that they’re the best players in their draft class. Keys to the game:

• Interior Defense. Can the Warriors keep Blake from doing a Luis Scola impression? I think the main key here is defensive rebounding — Griffin is all about raw physical skills right now, and will likely do most of his damage on fast breaks and put backs. The Warriors need to make sure they’re getting a body on Griffin on every shot attempt.
• Interior Defense. Baron Davis is expected to repeatedly try to post up Stephen Curry. Can Curry hold his ground and at least force Davis to make tough shots? The Warriors aren’t inclined to give Curry much help lest Davis make them pay with a pass to the open man, so let’s hope that bum ankle is feeling strong tonight.
