Killer Back to Backs

[Allanon]

I was looking through some of the scheduling and I think the Lakers have BY FAR, the worst back to back schedule of ANY team.

I think the scheduler hates the Lakers...I think the scheduler is a Spur or Celtic fan.

If you think your team has a tougher back to back schedule than this, let me know.

Here are the Laker B2Bs, I've left out the 3 easy B2B sets.

Nov 11 @ Dallas
Nov 12 @ New Orleans

Nov 20 @ Phoenix
Nov 21 vs Denver

Dec 9 @ Sactown
Dec 10 @ Phoenix

Dec 19 @ Miami
Dec 20 @ Orlando
Dec 22 @ Memphis
Dec 23 @ New Orleans
Dec 25 Boston game at Staples but after the Lakers play 4 games in 5 nights against good teams on the road.

Jan 6 vs New Orleans
Jan 7 @ Warriors

Jan 13 @ Houston
Jan 14 @ San Antonio (WTF is this? Rox & Spurs B2B on the road?)

Feb 4 @ Raptors
Feb 5 @ Boston Muthaf*****" Celtics in Boston on the 2nd night of a B2B?

Feb 10 vs OKC
Feb 11 @ Utah

Feb 17 @ Atlanta Hawks
Feb 18 @ Warriors

Mar 11 @ Houston
Mar 12 @ San Antonio (WTF is this? Rox & Spurs B2B a 2nd time on the road?)

After the Lakers ridiculously easy schedule so far you are now going to complain?

The Lakers schedule has not been easy. One of the harder ones so far. Not as hard as the Blazers but still difficult.

[DPG21920]

Tell us when the Lakers have to play 11 out of 12 on the road, including games against: Lakers, Utah, Phoenix, (the only home game is right after those first 3 road games and it is against New Orleans), Denver, Boston, Toronto and Detroit.

[Reck]

You think Sacramento is part of a hard back to back game? C'mon..

Apart from the Hou+SA and PHX+Denver, Rap+BOS your team is gonna have a somewhat easy time beating those other teams.

In another note, I did looked throught the Spurs schedule and they do have easy back to back games. Only one I saw that could be kinda hard was Dallas/Portland and New Orleans/Orlando

But we do play Houston and Boston just one day in between. That will be hell.

The Spurs had used up most of their easy Road games by that point in the schedule. I think there are something like 3 easy road games left at that point.

The away games against good teams have to be played sooner or later, might as well do them on the Rodeo trip.

[Allanon]

Sacramento Kings always play the Lakers really well in Arco Arena.

The other ones are pretty difficult, no gimmes. And the Lakers get Hou+SA TWICE-B2B-On the Road... that's craziness, I've never seen that before.

I also found the 4 games in 5 nights on the road against good teams right before the Boston Celtics game on Christmas a bit fishy.

[Lakers_55]

who cares about the schedule. just play Laker ball and win as many as possible.

[Brazil]

Allanon this is the reason why you can forget the 70 mark. I think it's almost impossible for a west team to achieve 70. First there are too many good teams and second compared to East teams travelling in this conference is a nightmare: long trips and jet lags.

[Brazil]

IMO if the lakers achieve a 65 it will be a huge performance.

You may be right Mr. Brazil. I overlooked these crazy B2B's.

But I said 70/75 and I ain't gonna wuss out now :lol

[Brazil]

I really think the Bulls record will be erased by an eastern team.

[DrHouse]

I Drink Your Milkshake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ploto]

[Mad_Hatter]

allanon you are an idiot. every single western conference team has B2B's like that.

[Allanon]

allanon you are an idiot. every single western conference team has B2B's like that.

No, they do not.

Show me any other western conference team that has B2B's like that bitch.

[Indazone]

I look forward to Jan 13, 14 when the Rockets and Spurs both curbstomp the LA West Coast Pretenders.

Have you seen this years Kings? they're horrible

4 games in 5 nights against GOOD teams? Try 2 games in 5 nights against good teams, 1 game in 5 nights against a mediocre team, and 1 game in 5 night against shitty teams.

Lakers have historically been beneficiaries of regular season scheduling.

I think the scheduler is a Spur or Celtic fan.

Yeah but your the best team in the league and have the best player on the planet. A tough schedule should only make ya better.

[Brazil]

Absolutely ! Allanon will able to say we won 75 games with killer back to backs and then everybody saying wwwowwwww it's impressive !

[ehz33satx]

No, they do not.

Show me any other western conference team that has B2B's like that bitch.

What a f*cking cry baby! :lmao Your poor team!


Try nutting up mofo!

[Girasuck]

I believe (and I'm not going to look this up because it's been the same way for years now) that the Jazz always play the most B2B's of any team because Larry Miller doesn't like Utah playing games on Sunday. That means most weeks we have 4 games in 6 days, which results in a ton of B2B games.

[ambchang]

This is really unfair, the Lakers have mighty teams like the Kings, Grizzs, and OKC in their B2Bs. That said, the Lakers may or may not win 75 games this season. Either way, I am right.

Find me a team with a harder B2B schedule. Until then, I am right, my friend.

The Pacers have a couple of hard B2B sets but overall not as difficult as the Lakers.

Not the number of B2B's. The quality of the opponents, especially on the 2nd night.

[sribb43]

When you play in the West, every team is going to have tough B2B's...its the nature of the beast. if you dont like the schedule, try and move your little team out east

Those poor, poor Lakers...

Maybe Stern will help them out by forcing the Nets to trade them Devin Harris for Chris Mihm.

[Findog]

It sure sucks to be a Lakers fan...just when you think you might have a good team, Stern forces you to trade a promising big and former #1 pick for a washed-up Euro fag.

[SpursDynasty]

The Lakers also played 11 of their first 15 games at Staples.

[Findog]

The Lakers also played 11 of their first 15 games at Staples.

That just goes to prove that Stern is out to get them. They should be allowed to play all 82 games at home. It's too much of a hardship for them to leave southern California. You should be grateful for the opportunity of losing to them at Staples.

[Allanon]

If Stern wasn't out to get the Lakers, he should have made them play tough teams only at home.

I still haven't seen any team with a harder B2B schedule.

The pictures are good though :) But c'mon, how could you have missed this one?

Oh man, it's inexcusable to miss on Chris Crocker.

[ambchang]

I am agreeing with you, because you are always right, even when you are proven wrong.

I mean, OKC!

[Ghazi]

In the end, all 30 teams will have similar "strength of schedules", with the teams from the stronger conference having a slighter degree of difficulty.

As far as the most difficult stretch, the Pacers just played the Lakers, Celtics, Cavs, and Celtics.. dayum

[Allanon]

I am agreeing with you, because you are always right!

Glad we got that straightened out my friend.

[Xylus]

Allanon taking some lumps :lol

That is a difficult back-to-back schedule for the Lakers, no doubt.

[Girasuck]

You guys play alot of B2B's, the level of difficulty so far is the 2nd hardest I've seen now after the Lakers. That's pretty tough.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Nuggets have alot of b2b games as well#

next week they have 2 sets

@Dallas
@Rockets

then a couple of nights later

Cavs
@Suns

going to be a TOUGH week

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

oh, and the Nuggets then have a couple more days off and then its a home and home series vs the Blazers

thats a heck of a 6 game stretch

[Allanon]

I think you guys will win the Cavs / Suns set.

You'll probably get one of the 2 Blazer games, the Rose Garden is a hard place to win in.

And on a sidenote, I toldja guys the Kings game would be a tough one for the Lakers.

And yes, OKC Thundah give the Lakers problems too.
