DeAndre Jordan will be matched-up against Tim Duncan a lot in this series. Jordan made his presence felt with the rejection of Duncan’s shot down low. 

DeAndre Jordan is about to have a huge payday in the offseason. He will be becoming a free agent and teams would love to have him on their roster to man the middle of the paint. This season, he has owned that area. He has averaged 2.2 blocks per game and has led the league with 15 rebounds per game. He also leads the league with a 71% field goal percentage.

In the playoffs, DeAndre Jordan and his Los Angeles Clippers are going up against the defending champion San Antonio Spurs. Jordan has the big man matchup against Tim Duncan during the series. Jordan will make it tough for Timmy D. to create any offense in  the post. This video shows the type of problems that Jordan can bring to the court against Duncan:

Old man Duncan wanted to put up a baby hook in down low but Jordan was all over it and sent it right back to the sender. Duncan thought he had a clean look at the basket, but Jordan was there to reject the hell out of that shot. Is this a sign of things to come? Is this the passing of the guard for the Spurs to the Cluppers?
