    The L*kers have played the 3rd hardest schedule so far.

    The Blazers have played the 3rd easiest schedule so far.


    While their games have been at home, their competition has been much harder than ours.

    Its odd that the Clippers have played twice as many road games as the Lakers.

    They (the Clippers) have an 8 game road trip (at the same time as the Lakers also have an 8 gamer) and are coming up on a 6 game road trip (and the lakers are coming up on a 5 game trip).

    The Lakers end the season with 8 home games and 14 road.

    So it events out in the end (Lakers vs Clippers scheduling I mean)

    You do know, when its all said and done, all schedules are very close to equal. The only teams that have harder schedules than others, are the ones that have lots of tough teams within their own division so they play them more often. If a team has an easy schedule to start, it gets tougher later. If they have a tough schedule to start, it gets easier later. Road trips are tough on all teams. Period.

    Sagarin has their schedule as the second easiest in the league. Granted, ours is about the fourth easiest according to those ratings, but I'm not sure where you are getting the "third hardest schedule so far" garbage.

    Thank you!

    I've been harping about moving the Clips out, and the only destinations I could think of at the time (before ref scandal and all) were Seattle after they moved to OKC, and Las Vegas....now gambling and the ref thing has killed the Vegas idea. And being someone whose lived in Vegas, its basically a Laker town lol

    well, LV is a town of losers, drunks, degenerates and hoes. :pimp: L*ker Fan would be one of the better appellations...I'd say between "ho" and "degenerate".

    Thank you. Great post.

    And like its been stated, it all evens out @ 41-41 split.

    We had the best road record in the league last year, as well...so why are you bitching? I bet it'll be that way this year, too.

    This thread wreaks of fear from the thread starter.
