I'm really excited that the Clippers will be exposed a lot more this year! I just hope that Clippers don't get embarrassed on opening night like last year. Go Clippers!

I like the fact that our first game is a road game against the Lakers. I'm assuming there will be a ring ceremony and I hope that will motivate our team to play hard. But on the flip side I don't like how we end the season at home against the Lakers because the last home game is supposed to be fan appreciation night which definitely won't happen against the Lakers. Similar to 2 years ago where we had it next to last home game against the Nuggets rather than the last home game against the Lakers. Hopefully with more wins we can attract more Clipper fans in not just the home games against the Lakers, but other teams as well. You know its a problem when you see a lot of Jazz fans on the road! I thought they only existed in Utah!

i actually have a good feeling about this schedule and the season. The first month, Novermber in particular. im predicinting .700+ win %. let go CLIP SHOW

Playoffs for sure

vs Lakers (our 1st game of the season for the 2nd time in a row)

vs PHX (home opener)

vs OKC (Blake Griffin's Home Debut)

vs Lakers two times in January

8 nationally televised games. Nice.

It's hard to say how we'll do so far with a somewhat incomplete off-season, but I think we'll go 2-2 in October. The wins coming from the PHO and DAL games.

We always have trouble with Utah, and well.. I don't really have to say anything about the Lakers.

November looks quite easy for us.

x2 MIN, GS, x3 MEM, x2 OKC, IND. It could be 9 wins out of 14 games in November. Nice easy schedule to start off with.

I'm liking the schedule-- how 'bout that Christmas day game? Now that's hittin the big time.

I didn't even realize that we had a game on Christmas until you pointed that out, I don't remember us having a game on Christmas ever.

I also like that we have more games on National TV as opposed to 1 last season

Looks like I should be able to represent Clipper Nation in DC again since it's a weekend game. I can't wait for the season to start, it should be exciting.

The Pacific Division will have 3 playoffs teams imo... Lakers, Suns and Clipps like 06'

I love the amount of exposure Blake's arrival is brining the Clippers this year. I had a feeling we could get the Christmas game, much like Oden and Durant did their rookie year.

The Clippers first few games are actually managable and should keep us from having our season end after the first three weeks of the season like last year. I'm pretty optimistic about the schedule, although we play a lot of back-to-back nights compared to some teams we could be fighting with in the west for a playoff spot.

I'm glad that we are getting a decent amount of games on national television. I just hope that we show up in those games. Opening night is a big task. The Lakers will be given their rings and it'll be Blake's NBA debut. We got mollywhopped last year, so hopefully things will play out differently this year.

I'm loving that we'll be playing on Christmas. I was shocked when I read that. The b2b's suck, but it's kind of expected at this point (we had 21 last year). The main thing I wish were different is all the Wednesday games (21). I don't have Tivo, so I'll have to arrange to be able to see both (tape Lost) more often than not.

First time since '92 according to Clippers.com

We had a stacked team back in 92.

Lets go 82-0 !!!!

I'm with you on that, the season hasn't started yet so it's attainable

A couple of good reads on our schedule, one from DJ Foster of ClipperBlog and another from Steve Perrin of Clips Nation:

I'm actually more excited to see the game on New Year's Eve against the 76ers because we've yet to boo EB!

EB still has it coming that's for sure.

^ That's right, that punk didn't show up last time! We still owe him one...
