Next game is vs the nuggets so they will probably lose. The game after is against the much improved rockets. I think they will lose that one too. Then 2 games against the spurs. I think they can win 1 of those. Then against pelicans, Mavs, nuggets, Kings, Warriors x2.
Theres a good chance they win like 2 games in the next 9. Will the locker room implode by then?
Clippers trade for Osama Bin Harden
They could catch a team on a bad night or setback with some injuries. But not exactly hopeful if you’re counting on the other team to be bad in order to win.
They’ve already caught a couple teams with some injuries in the Nets and the Grizzlies. Didn’t matter though.
Aside from the first game with Utah and the Mavs, they’ve at least kept every game competitive (within 10 points) with good defense - their offense is just not good
But I watched the Nuggets vs Grizzlies game and I haven’t seen Jokic play so badly, he seemed hungover and sluggish, had 9 TOVs and that game was definitely within reach - at one point in Q4 they went up by 1 with just over 4mins left, 44 seconds left they were down by just 1, then the Nuggets pulled away ending w a 4 pt lead.
Everyone has a tough schedule. It’s tougher for them because they have 3 so called superstars that aren’t actual superstars. The best of them in Kawhi isn’t producing.
They’re supposed to be the tough part of the schedule for other teams.
In reality, they’re 4 superstars who are each 4-5 years past their prime (still mostly getting paid like they’re 28 year old superstars at their peak), and a bunch of role players.
Everyone has a tough schedule. There are way more good teams than bad this season.
Bro its the west, every game against a healthy team is a tough game. The only thing that makes it easier is these opposing teams injuries (Fox, SG, Booker, Beal, Murray, Ingram)
