I mean the Clippers are effectively at the end of a 9 game road trip and have played more road games than anyone (while being the 2nd best home team in the nba)... this after having a 7 game road trip earlier. So yeah, it will get easier.
It will also get harder for them. Their last 25% of games have been the 7th easiest opponent's sos in the league.
Road trips and back to backs are far more impactful on wins and losses than SOS. Certain games (like tonights) are schedule losses and the Clipps are mostly done with those.
Your team just lost by 20 to GSW. Our best player was out and we beat SAS and Mavs back to back. Rockets have a better team.
Catching the Rockets team early in the schedule is one thing. Wait until the end of the season. Soft clippers squad will flop in the playoffs.
Our best player is out too and he's better than your best player. Neener neener. I would LOVE it if the Clippers drew the Rockets. That is the best possible matchup by far. GSW would be my next choice but there is the small chance they'd get superhot for four games.
This team is playing much better right now. You also can't expect James Harden to play awful 7 games.
