Chris Paul says upcoming Grammy road trip is big for the Clippers/Photo by of Associated Press

The Clippers have three games left before their upcoming Grammy road trip that will include eight games in 13 days. The Clippers host Brooklyn on Thursday, play Sunday at Phoenix and host Denver on Monday.

The Grammy roadie then begins Jan. 28 in Utah and will also go to New Orleans, San Antonio, Brooklyn, Cleveland, Toronto, Oklahoma City and Dallas (on Feb. 9).

The Clippers are currently in sixth in the Western Conference standings and certainly want to move up before the playoffs arrive and since the season is now more than halfway over, the post-season will be here before any of us know it.

Indeed, this trip could prove vital to the Clippers’ playoff seeding, and Chris Paul agrees.

“It’ll be a big trip for us,” he said. “You know, the West is tough. Obviously, we’re in the bottom eight of the playoffs right now and that’s going to be a big test for us.”
