LA Clippers’ Schedule Breakdown: Dissecting March
By Tushar Bahl
Big games in Week 22 of regular season
The Clippers will then begin a three day road trip which starts on March 13 with a game against the Chicago Bulls. The Dwayne Wade led franchise should not pose too many problems for the Clips. They are set to tank this season and will struggle to win more than 20 games next season.
Following that the Clippers have two games which could make or break their season. They travel to Houston to take on the Houston Rockets on March 15. It will be their fourth meeting of the season with Chris Paul, who left the Clippers this summer. The Clippers could sneak a hard fought win here especially with the Rockets very likely to have sealed a playoff berth by then.
On the very next night they will face the Oklahoma City Thunder who boast a very impressive roster featuring last season’s MVP Russell Westbrook and Paul George. This one will be a difficult game for the Clips, especially if Thunder have something to play for. And while the Clippers have a strong defense, Oklahoma should be able to win this one comfortably.
Next up is a home game against the Portland Trail Blazers on March 18. This is another fixture which could have a lot on the line, depending on the two teams’ positions at that point. But the Clippers should win this one at home.
