Los Angeles Clippers Schedule 2019 Clippers Schedule

The Clippers have a brutal start to the season, facing 13 teams that finished above .500 in 14 games. They face Houston twice, and will be getting those losses out of the way early. The Clippers are back to rebuilding, and will be at the bottom of the West. The Clippers traded away Blake Griffin, and while they have some stronger NBA players, they just are not at the level of the rest of the conference. With LeBron James now a Laker, it is hard to envision them finishing above them again this year. The Clippers did enjoy their time against the Eastern Conference, going 18-12, but a repeat is likely going to be a tough ask. The Clippers were below .500 against the West, and that is going to be a repeatable task with the rest of the West trending upwards while the Clippers go down. They went 16-33 against teams above .500, and got half their wins against below .500 teams. The Clippers have some games on TV this year due to playing in the West. Their games against Houston are always interesting, and their first meeting will be on October 21st, and then quickly will play them on the 26th. The Clippers play four games in April, and Houston, Los Angeles, Golden State, and Utah are the four. This is a tough end of the year for the Clippers, but they will be far out of contention by then. The Clippers play 14 back-to-backs this season, and have a somewhat heavy end of the season before April begins. Doc Rivers and company will be a competitive bunch and keep games close, but it likely won’t show on the win-loss sheet this season. The Clippers will likely finish third, as they are still better than the Suns and Kings at this stage.
