I am actually predicting 8-2 with the Ls against Clips and Spurs on the road.

holy hell


@ L.A. Clippers
vs Denver
@ Houston
@ San Antonio
vs Oklahoma City

that stretch will let us know if the lakers have turned the corner or if this just isn't the yr.

Questionable games to me are Clippers, San Antonio, Houston, and Oklahoma City. Houston because it's a road game and the officiating for LA has been terrible. I think Miami won't be a problem at all. All you have to worry about in Miami is stopping Lebron, and stopping transition buckets. But I like the odds since 6 of those games are at the staples center...including the road game against the clippers.

I'll be optimistic and say 8-2.

I think we can 7-3, but we can just as easily go 3-7. The next 10 games are going to decide what sort of season we'll have.

I say 6-4 or 5-5. It won't be the lakers if we don't lose to teams we should beat and if we beat teams as the underdog. This is not a make or break stretch. It could be but this group/d'antoni need A LOT more time understanding the offense, defensive rotations, player rotations.. Etc. I won't be too up or too down wherever theyre at. I just hope they play hard and get a little better each game.

If we play like we did Friday night we can easily go 8-2. If we play like we did Wed night we'll go 4-6. With Nash just returning to the lineup it's hard to know what we can expect night in and night out.

Since Nash's return we've only lost one game and it was a game where we were getting no calls and Dwight was ejected in the 3rd Q at a time when the game was still very winnable.

I say we go 7-3 with a surprise win over Miami in there for good measure. A win against the Clippers would be super sweet also but the way they're playing right now beating them isn't going to be easy.
Sometimes being wrong is awesome!!! :D

vs Philadelphia.....W
@ L.A. Clippers.....Gonna be tough, but this is a statement game W or L depends on motivation
vs Denver.....Revenge W
@ Houston.....Gave away last game there but we'll get W
@ San Antonio....2nd of back to back plus we gifted them one already too. W or L depends on motivation
vs Oklahoma City.....Coming off 2 days rest, W
vs Cleveland.....Another gifted win, we'll get this one W
vs Milwaukee.....W
vs Miami....Statement game against league elite on national TV, depends on motivaton could be W or L
@ Toronto.....W or L if they win Heat game, this is let down game.

So by my estimates I give us 6 for sure wins, 6-4 not that bad....means record will possibly be 21-19, That pace is still treading slowly. We gotta go 7-3 or 8-2 which isn't out the realm of reality.

That is a brutal stretch, Cleveland is the one and only relatively easy game and even then Irving could make it interesting.

Tough stretch, but the Lakers have improved and I can see them going 8-2.

vs Philadelphia WIN
@ L.A. Clippers WIN (snap the streak-although the Clips are really going to show up to this game for the city and CP3 will be obsessed w/ Gasol rubbing his head from last season -odds 51%-49% us -Lakers want to end the streak)
vs Denver WIN
@ Houston WIN
@ San Antonio LOSE
vs Oklahoma City LOSE
vs Cleveland WIN
vs Milwaukee WIN
vs Miami LOSE
@ Toronto[/quote] WIN

I think we are going to win the games we should win and also beat the Clippers because of pride but we aren't going to withstand the contenders that are gunning for us.

I look forward to see if Dwight can match a highlight dunk if Griffen throws one down on Gasol (which is almost certain to happen)

Freakin twerp cp3 gets all riled up bc pau innocently rubs his head. Shows what insecurities that boy has. I see taller guys pat shorter dudes on heads all the time and they get no rile from it. We better kill this team.
Freakin okc w their chimp- faced point guard Westbrook. Sorry but we better kill this team sick of his stupid monkey act guns a slingin after every lucky 3 point shot.
Freakin Miami taking the banner last year when it should always be the lakers. Homer I am I tell ya. We better kill this team.


Toronto I can see us losing to them. Good team

That's a tough stretch, but the Lakers have Like the 2nd or 3rd toughest schedule the rest of the way. Realistically, they'll be battling it out for the 8th seed with Utah and Minny.
