The Clippers lost to Portland in their first game this season, but defeated the Trail Blazers the final three for a 3-1 season edge. That doesn’t necessarily mean the Clippers will have additional confidence when they square off with Portland in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. Game 1 is Sunday at 7:30 p.m. at Staples Center.

“We’re confident,” Clippers center DeAndre Jordan said. “But it’s different in the playoffs. You have to go win games on the road. It’s a different environment. It’s tougher. But I feel like when we’re a healthy team, we can beat anybody. We have so much depth now, it’s going to be fun.”
