Vintage #25 Mikal Bridges Men 2022-23 City Edition NBAClippers vs. Rockets P: Bouncing back at home
For some Clipper fans, the matchup against the Houston Rockets brings back bad memories — memories of a 3-1 lead that turned into a 4-3 playoff loss in 2015, or memories of the confrontation in the tunnel of the then-STAPLES Center. Thankfully, the year is 2022, and the matchup between the Clippers and the Rockets pits the 8th place LA team against the last place team in the Western Conference.
The 15-41 record for the Rockets is not too big of a surprise for NBA fans and insiders alike, after the James Harden trade that sent him to Brooklyn left the franchise in a position to start from scratch nba jersey sunsand rebuild around their young talents. They hold the worst defensive rating and turnover percentage in the league, with an offensi suns jersey valleyve rating that isn’t far ahead. For them, a win against the Clippers isn’t expected, especially when looking at LA’s recent games and their overall trend in team performance.
In their last three games, the Clippers went 2-1, dominating the Warriors following a nailbiter win in Dallas, all before dropping a close one to the elite Suns in Phoenix. Those two wins demonstrated their knack for shutting down a supporting cast led by a superstar — Stephen Curry in Golden State phoenix suns devin booker jerseyand Luka Doncic inAl Horford Jerseys Dallas. Even their loss in Phoenix showed how their grit and competitiveness can keep them in games even when the odds give them little chance of a victory.
