Clippers vs. Western Conference

The Clippers play 48 games against the Western Conference this year. They've played 18 and have 30 to go. There are 4 undisputed lesser teams in the West: Sac, NOH, GSW and Phoenix. LAC has to date played only one game against those 4 teams! Thus, of the 30 Western games left 13 are against these lesser teams. So despite the grueling schedule after the AS break, there is a path to success in the West.

Much was made of the early schedule wherein the Clippers had played the least number of games. They are catching up to the rest of the league. Now GSW has played the least games. So if you think LAC's upcoming schedule is busy, check out GSW's! Additionally, the Clippers have played 15 home games and 14 road games (and will be even after @GSW tomorrow). GSW has only played 11 road games thus far! They're in for a rough second half, the roughest in the West. Doesn't bode well for a team that highly depends on a frail backcourt. Go Clips!
