2022-2023 NBA Schedule

[KL2]

The schedule is supposed to release this week. Leaks are happening.

No Christmas game again this year. I thought the return of Leonard would warrant one again but nope.

Shams reports the first Clippers-Lakers game is for October 20th.

Shams reports the first Clippers-Lakers game is for October 20th.

Thus far, three games on an expected five-game Christmas Day slate have leaked.

Suns at Nuggets
Memphis Grizzlies at Golden State Warriors
Los Angeles Lakers at Dallas Mavericks

Lakers are garbage and Mavs are second-tier but it's Bron and Luka and that's the name of that tune--
and The Grizz are young and cool and this shows what the League thinks of Ja's star power.

Kawhi and J-Wall are yesterday's news and Paul George was never news.

That's where we stand, folks--and it's probably better that way. The time for talk and phony street-tough magazine covers is OVER. This was fun at the time




but would be friggin' embarrassing now in 2022 don't you think? Kawhi has the weirdest and spottiest record of achievement of any HOFer and the rest have none at all.


I'm glad we're getting snubbed.

Hopefully the Clippers don't end up with a ridiculous number of back to back games this season.

and now the good news...

One season after tying a league record by playing 61 games before the mid-February All-Star break, the Clippers will again play 61 before the break. They also will play 15 sets of back-to-back games — one more than last season — a noteworthy number considering what could be the team’s cautious approach to managing the workload of their biggest stars in their returns from injury. Kawhi Leonard already played games on consecutive nights sparingly before suffering a knee injury in June 2021 that cost him all last season. An elbow injury cost Paul George the majority of last season.

Yet their schedule appears to allow for more regular rest, with 13 breaks of at least two days between games. In a significant change, after playing five games in seven days last season a league-high-tying five times, the Clippers have zero five-in-seven stretches in 2022-23.


Their longest road trip is six games, from Jan. 27 through Feb. 6 — it includes stops at Atlanta, Cleveland, Chicago, Milwaukee, New York and Brooklyn — and there is a five-game East Coast trip beginning at Philadelphia on Dec. 23 that includes a matchup against Boston on Dec. 29. The Clippers host five-game homestands three times.

The Clippers will play two-game series in the same city — a scheduling arrangement introduced during the 2020-21 season — three times: traveling to Oklahoma City in October, hosting Oklahoma City in late March and two road games in Memphis to close March.

As is custom, the Clippers play a handful of Western Conference opponents only three times next season instead of the usual four. They will see Portland, Minnesota, Memphis and New Orleans three times.

The Clippers’ season formally begins Sept. 26 with media day before the team departs to Las Vegas, where they will begin training camp. They will then travel to Seattle to begin a preseason schedule that includes an Oct. 3 game against Portland. The rest of their preseason schedule is expected later this week.

As we saw last season, it is very vital to finish in the top 6.

Hopefully this won't be an issue this season- but you never know due to the number of injury prone players on the roster
