Would you rather prefer a tougher schedule to begin the season or the same type that it's been the past two seasons?

I want the schedule to be tougher early on rather be so grueling later on where the team has to go on 6-8 game road stretches.

I hope it is a little more balanced. It is way to early to think about anything like that. Time to relax and recharge the batteries.

Balanced sounds right. That way it isn't to hard on the guys at the end of the season but forces them not to take the competition lightly so they are prepped for the playoffs.

I agree with both of you.

I'm just hoping it's not too easy from the start.

Especially factoring health, it's better to have an easier schedule going into the end rather than tough because injuries could pile up and then homecourt becomes very important.

It dose not mater.
Playoffs are when the NBA season starts for real.
We are the champions we have a expirens team and i think they dont care.

doesnt matter.

Spread it out

No home tour

Road tour

It was so uneven.

No more multiple 6+ game road trips!

Still going to have to deal with the Grammys but nothing you can do about that

one 6+ road trip early. for team bonding

one 6+ road trip late, then 5 game home stand

There better be a few home games between december 8th -14th! The main reason I'm going over there is to see Kobe & Co. play

it'll probably be similar to the last couple of seasons again. the reason there are so many early home games is because of the grammy awards being held at staples center....and sharing the same arena with the clippers and kings make home games in february difficult to schedule.

all I know is whatever team Lebron ends up on, the Lakers will be playing against on either Thanksgiving or Christmas

Thank you. People just don't get this. It will be home heavy because of scheduling issues. But don't worry, we'll get the annual general board thread about how somehow frontloading games is "rigging" it for the Lakers.

I hope that we play the nets every game of the season and the playoffs.

With all the events held at Staples Center, we're bound to have an extended road trip at some point. Usually late in the season because of the Pac 10 tournament.

But I wouldn't mind a 4-5 game trip in December to get the team going. I'm sure some will agree with me that after our insane homestand to start last season we seemed to get a little complacent.

lakers to play 20 of first 25 games at home... thats what im shooting for atleast

anyone know when the schedule is due to come out?? i would love to catch a lakers game when i head over to states in nov...

When does summer league start?
