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

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.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
who cares about the schedule. just play Laker ball and win as many as possible.
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.
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
I really think the Bulls record will be erased by an eastern team.
I Drink Your Milkshake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pacers
12/2 Lakers
12/3 @ Boston
Beat that.
We have a winner
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 .
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 ty teams.
Lakers have historically been beneficiaries of regular season scheduling.
I think the scheduler is a Spur or Celtic fan.
SPURS
January:
25 @ Lakers
27 @ Jazz
29 @ Suns
31 vs Hornets
the scheduler isn' a spurs.
none of those Lakers back to backs are that hard.
The Pacers had the worst stretch in the NBA
Lakers
@Celtics
@Cleveland
Celtics
