When you are the defending NBA champions, the world of respect is at your feet. It therefore wasn’t surprising to hear what Clippers sixth-man Jamal Crawford said when asked what it would mean for his team to defeat the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

“Our confidence is already high, but I could see it being at an all-time high,” Crawford said.

Game 1 is Sunday night at 7:30 at Staples Center.
