They say familiarity breeds contempt, and that statement almost feels like a microcosm of the Los Angeles Clippers’ season so far. The way their schedule has fallen into place has meant they’ve come up against many of the same teams several times already, and a number of those games feel like they’ve come in such quick succession – though that has not benefited this squad whatsoever.
Of the nine teams that they have faced more than once this campaign, the only franchise they are yet to taste defeat against is the Timberwolves – boasting a 3-0 record over Patrick Beverley and his new running mates.
