Regular season doesn't matter for the Lakers. They're still going to be favorites in the playoffs. They don't have to prove themselves in the regular season.
sons this team hasn't beaten anyone worth a damn and LOL at their next 16 games. They only have ONE legit challenge (Utah) and of course the NBA made sure to give them a full 2 days rest beforehand. The Lakers should easily win at least 14 out of their next 16 games with a cakewalk like this ...

No offense, but whoever let Darko go for 23 and 16 should be kicked out of the league.
That December road trip is just brutal!
Stern will do anything to ensure a Kobe/Lebron Finals.
God Bless, son. Great thread.
Son, Stop with the obvious. Every real bb fans knows the favorable schedule/calls etc etc this team gets.
Just be happy your cheeirng for a real team..not some spolied ass team
Lakers will manage to somehow go 10-6 or 9-7 through that stretch
sons its not the Lakers fault. I respect that team for what they have accomplished and the calls they have received .... however I think even the Clippers could play the Lakers next 16 games and finish AT LEAST 10-6 ...
I disagree, I can see them winning EVERY single game, they're just that good.
It's not a question of talent, but apathy.
Regular season matters when it comes to seedings. Seedings are crucial considering there hasn't been a team to win the le that has not been a top 3 team since '95 rockets did it as the 6th seed. The Lakers need to clinch one of the top 2 seeds in the west and having this cupcake schedule gives them very good chance of doing it.
We stackkkkkkkked. Too bad they blew a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter in Denver & PHX had to hit 400 three's to squeak out a win. We get the tough games when Baby Bynum is back, yezzzzir.
son even good teams like the Lakers will get bored with 16 bull games in a row ... that's like telling the New York Yankees to go play the Kansas City Royals 16 times ... they will get bored and lose more than they should.
Well the Lakers had one of the toughest schedules if not the toughest last year. It evens out. tbh
pretty much...I honestly would prefer the starters not play more than 30 minutes in this stretch, and force Caracter and Ebanks to log some valuable time. Would make us deeper (and fresher) in the long run
I say go for the kill during this stretch so the Lakers have some nice capital.
But the last thing they need is to burn out in December so maybe just play enough to win
Just don't get too bored please![]()
Another interesting fact is Phil Jackson has never won a championship when his team hasn't finished in the top 2 for seedings.
another interesting fact - Phil Jackson has never won a championship without teams stacked full of hall of fame players.
put Phil somewhere like Milwaukee or Sacramento or somewhere that actually involves coaching and a legit challenge and I guarantee you he would fail miserably and be fired within 3 years.
Lol agreed you get no argument from me on that. Phil to me is not great x's and o's guy but more so a psychologist.
Sons, Kobe has the clipboard in his hand more then Phil. Phils just there to make smart ass comments to motivate his players & talk . Oh & he gets paid millions of dollars a year to bang the owners hot daughter lmao
son no doubt he is a lucky S.O.B. ... must be nice to get all that credit and not having to do a damn thing to earn it.
Those next 3 games for the Lakers wont be cakewalks thats for sure. The Warriors always play the Lakers tough, Chicago will be on a little high after winning in Dallas tonight, and playing at Utah is never easy...
whining. spurs and Hornets playing best ball in West right now ...that should be enough.
All this ing and moaning about Stern is pointless. We had a ty back2back schedule last year ...I didnt whine on this forum about it.
It's not the Lakers' fault they get to stay at home more than almost every team in the league.
Kobe is the only clear cut Hall of Famer on this Lakers squad.
