One of those wins coming prior to the Harden trade against the Rockets. After the Harden team, they’ve beat the Orlando Magic and lost to the Lakers Knicks and Mavs.

The clippers record speaks for itself but they are not preying on under .500 teams either. Their record against sub .500 teams is 4-3.

This is a very bad team that has had an easy schedule so far with Harden, playing the tanking spurs back to back just recently.

It wouldn’t be a stretch to assume they’ll be a lottery team.

    Lakers fans repeatedly say they don’t care about the regular season. The playoffs, according to them, are the only thing that matters…

    …except when you talk about the Clippers regular season. The first 15 games of the regular season are critical and should be discussed…as much as possible.

      If the Clippers don’t pick up the pace though, they won’t even make the playoffs at all. If the season ended now they’d miss the play-in. The West is too deep to be digging this kind of a hole early on, especially with the Clippers schedule from now until Christmas:

      • Dallas Mavericks

      • Denver Nuggets

      • @ Sacramento Kings

      • @ Golden State Warriors

      • Golden State Warriors

      • Portland Trail Blazers

      • Sacramento Kings

      • Golden State Warriors

      • New York Knicks

      • @ Indiana Pacers

      • @ Dallas Mavericks

      • @ Oklahoma City Thunder

      • Boston Celtics

      They could very easily go something like 5-8 (or worse) in that stretch and be sitting at around 11-16 (or worse) by then. With every loss, their margin for error gets smaller and smaller. The play-in has not been kind to them, and they haven’t been a good road playoff team. Seeding is going to matter a lot for them (assuming they make it).

        I am well aware. We are all well aware. We are hoping for some miracle run that we know won’t happen…but could have happened with this crew five years ago…

          Sorry, this was in response to you saying that only the playoffs matter. I was just responding to your above comment. If you seem to be aware of this, then you apparently understand the importance of the regular season.

            Read my comment again. I said that Lakers fans only think the playoffs matter and that is the calling card for Lakers fans.
