Who must the Clippers keep a close eye on?

The Clippers need to watch Marc Gasol. DeAndre has a habit of giving shooting big men too much space, and Gasol will make us pay. (That shimmy still gives me nightmares.) The Clips need to make a point of closing out on your team, especially since they’ve developed into a solid 3 point squad.
