The wait for the 2015-16 NBA season is starting to feel painful as we reach the middle of summer, but finally some excitement has arrived. The full season schedule for the Los Angeles Clippers has now been released by the NBA, and you won’t need to wait very long to see one of the most anticipated games of the year.
After DeAndre Jordan narrowly escaped the Dallas Mavericks and decided to return to the Clippers instead, there is a potential rivalry between these two teams to say the least. Not a full blown, battle of L.A. rivalry between the Clippers and Lakers kind of rivalry, but a definite need to prove themselves to one another.
And just as we all wanted, we won’t be waiting long to see a Mavericks-Clippers matchup.
As is shown by the fully listed season schedule on ESPN, they’ll face-off on October 29, which will be the Clippers’ second game of the season after they open their 2015-16 campaign against the Sacramento Kings on October 28.

The Clippers’ game against the Mavericks at the end of October and the matchup against the defending champion Golden State Warriors on November 4 are easily two of the best nights to look forward to at the beginning of the season. And despite the long wait till October, at least we know exactly what’s in store when the 2015-16 season finally begins.
