    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">2. Lakers

    Dates: Jan. 30-Feb. 11 (eight games in 13 days)
    Opponents: NY, BOS*, IND, WAS*, ATL, DET, TOR*, CLE
    Playoff teams from a year ago: 4
    The skinny: Thanks in part to the Grammys being held at Staples Center, the Lakers will head East on their longest trip in 16 years. Three sets of back-to-backs, with the finales coming against the fast-paced Celtics, Wizards and Raptors, figure to test the Zen calm of coach Phil Jackson.</div>

    Exactly why I keep STRESSING that Phil is costing us VALUABLE WINS early in the season at home in games we SHOULD be winning.

    Say what you want, "Oh by then we'll be geling, blahbalbhlah"

    3 of those games are back-to-backs, and we're playing 8 games in 13 days ON THE ROAD.

    If we're lucky, we can go 4-4. I bet a bunch of you are gonna be like "oh we'll prob go 6-2" LOL, only fooling yourselves. I'm hoping for the best though [​IMG]

    Since when are the Grammy's more important than the Lakers?

    lol New York, Atlanta, Boston, and Toronto are 4 of the 8 games. Those are like automatic wins.

    Indiana, Washington, Detroit, Cleveland. Those games will give the Lakers a run for the money.

    I wouldnt say Atlanta anymore they are playing really well and I think the Lakers can beat the PAcers

    That would be so crazy if Lakers went 8-0

    I Gonna Say Something You May Agree Whit Me, I Dont Know If Is Laker Hating Or Kobe Hating Since Shaq Left Town Each Year The Lakers Have The Worst Schedule In The Entire Basketball Each Of The Last 3 Years But I Am Wondering , Cleveland Cavaliers Has The Best Schedule Ever Since? Because This Year The Cavs Beat The Spurs In The Spurs Back To Back Games And Cleveland Play That Game Well Rested They Have 1 Day Off,but The Nex Day They Get Beat By The Bobcats. This Is Advantage Or What
