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
Wow that is going to be tough trip. BUt I feel that we are deeper than last year and we should do fine. Worst 5-3 Best 7-1
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
The best scenario is that at that point in the season the lakers turn their intensity notch up 1 level higher and win all thos games LOL
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
