NBA 2016-17 Season: 8 must-watch matches you cannot afford to miss

#3 Los Angles Clippers @ Portland Trailblazers, 27 Oct

The Clippers will be looking for revenge for playoff elimination

The Los angles Clippers continue to battle the curse of the franchise which has resulted in a number of ignoble playoff exits after solid regular seasons. They were expected to steamroll the Portland Trailblazers, who had no answer for the Clippers' powerful frontcourt of Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. But instead, both Blake Griffin and Chris Paul exited the playoffs early with injuries.

Paul was inconsolable as seen in the picture above, one gamble by reaching in resulted in the end of his playoff campaign vs the Blazers. And Griffin was battling injuries throughout the season, having missed most of it.

The Blazers ended up beating the shorthanded Clippers in 6 games in the first round of the playoffs. This will be the Clippers' chance to seek revenge for that exit and show what they can do when their stars are on the floor.
