Killer Back to Backs

[mrspurs]

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?)

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.

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 .

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


Try nutting up mofo!

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.

[Allanon]

none of those Lakers back to backs are that hard.

The Pacers had the worst stretch in the NBA

Lakers
@Celtics
@Cleveland
Celtics

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.

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 .

[SpursDynasty]

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?

[Findog]

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

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

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

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.
