If there are two bloodsport rivals in the Western Conference, it has to be the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors, powers of the Pacific Division, who meet at the Staples Center Saturday afternoon in Game 1 of the quarterfinals. Catch the game on TSN starting at 3:30pm et/12:30pm pt. There have been fistfights, elbows to throats, ejections, claims of "cowardly basketball," and old-fashioned physical play. That was all just on Christmas night! Actually, three of the four regular-season meetings in 2013-14 featured some sort of physical altercation. "Not to hype it up at all, but there is no love lost between these two teams," Warriors forward David Lee said after a Golden State loss to the Clippers on March 12. But, behind all of the silly pushing and shoving, lies a rivalry predicated on two teams that are both offensively proficient and defensively underrated. The Clippers finished first in scoring this season, with the Warriors 10th. Golden State was also 10th in opponents scoring and LA came in 14th in that category. Los Angeles underwent significant changes in the offseason. Head coach Doc Rivers was acquired from the Boston Celtics for a first-round pick. He runs the basketball operations and brought in J.J. Redick, Jared Dudley, Danny Granger and Glen Davis. But the Clippers are run by Rivers newest incarnation of the Big Three. Blake Griffin will most likely finish third in MVP voting behind Oklahoma Citys Kevin Durant and Miamis LeBron James. Guard Chris Paul might have come in third had he not missed significant time with a shoulder injury. And DeAndre Jordan led the NBA in rebounding and finished third in blocked shots. It all translated into a franchise-record 57 wins. The Warriors also brought in a new, impactful face in the form of defensive specialist Andre Iguodala. However, the Warriors are built on their backcourt of Klay Thompson and especially Steph Curry. The two went 484-for-1,150 from long distance for 42 percent. Curry improved dramatically as a facilitator, averaging 8.5 assists per game, which ranked fifth in the NBA. He made his first All-Star team and is among the games elite. Head coach Mark Jackson tried to infuse a defensive mindset into the group. It worked for the most part, but problem is, their top enforcer, starting center Andrew Bogut, is out indefinitely with a broken rib. He was at the heart of most of the problems between the two teams. And this is a huge series for Jackson. Reports indicate his job might be in jeopardy if the Warriors lose. Allegations are he and owner Joe Lacob are at odds and, despite leading Golden State to a first-round upset of the Denver Nuggets last season, Jackson might be on the unemployment line if the Warriors lose. The two teams dont like each other as Lee pointed out, and the series should be physical. Keeping out of the skirmishes could be an issue for the Clippers, who lost in the first round last season, despite having home-court advantage over the Memphis Grizzlies. "Like weve said all season long, its about us," Paul said. "Its not about them. We have to play our game and do what were supposed to do and well be just fine. We have to realize that each game takes on its own personality. Its one win at a time." The two sides split four meetings this season with the home team prevailing each time.

Stuttgart was champion in 2007, Dortmund won the title in 2011 and 2012 and was runner-up the last two seasons.Now all three clubs are fighting against relegation. About the only consolation for the three is that they are not far from safety. Only five points separate last-place Dortmund and 10th-place Mainz.Here are some things to know going in the 14th Bundesliga round this weekend:___DESPERATE DORTMUNDBorussia Dortmund has won only one of its last 10 matches and already has eight defeats. The last time Dortmund was bottom of the table so far into the season was in 1985-86, when it barely escaped relegation.Coach Juergen Klopp, in his seventh season with Dortmund, was visibly depressed after last weeks 2-0 defeat in Frankfurt but has vowed to stay on, saying he has enough experience fighting relegation from his days in Mainz.Dortmund badly needs a confidence boost but faces a tough home match on Friday against Hoffenheim, which is capable of scoring plenty of goals but also tends to concede many.Central defender Mats Hummels could return after injury and several other players are fit again. We have more options now and we may use them, Klopp said.___BYE-BYE BAYERN?With Bayern Munich seven points clear of Wolfsburg at the top, few people believe Bayern can be caught as it chases its third straight title.Wolfsburg playmaker Kevin de Bruyne thinks finishing second is hard enough.I always want to be first but everyone knows how difficult it is to achieve that in the Bundesliga.dddddddddddd Second place would be very good but maybe Bayern will have a weaker phase, de Bruyne told Kicker magazine ahead of Wolfsburgs match against Hannover.___NEUERS RECORDBayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is one of the three candidates for FIFAs player of the year award after helping Germany win the World Cup title. But his Bundesliga record is impressive too — in 108 matches for Bayern, he has kept a clean sheet in 60 of them, a 56-per cent rate.One player to watch out for when Bayern plays Bayer Leverkusen in Munich on Saturday is Stefan Kiessling. The Leverkusen striker has scored six goals against Neuer.Bayern is already 10 points ahead of third-place Leverkusen. Munich is undefeated this season and in 17 consecutive Bundesliga matches going back to last season.___STUTTGART TURNAROUND?Huub Stevens began his second term as coach of Stuttgart with a 4-1 win in Freiburg and hopes the upswing will continue against Schalke.Stuttgart has the worst home record with four points, Schalke has the poorest away record with three.Stevens is best known in the Bundesliga for his stint in charge of Schalke.___AUGSBURGS RISEAugsburg has become the surprise of the season so far and sits fourth before visiting Cologne. Augsburg has seven wins and six defeats, with no draws.We may have less quality but we compensate with our team spirit, captain Paul Verhaegh said. Our advantage is that this team has been playing together for several years. We run a lot and its not comfortable for our opponents to play against us.
