[The Skyhook]

We get the Rockets as our home opener. Thats going to be a nice little slap to Trevor's face. He gets to see what he missed out on as Ron Ron gets his first ring.

lakers have the least back to back's in the league this yr, 15. bulls have the most with 23. bring on the conspiracy theorists.

[96 Til Infiniti]

- Two long road trips in December (7) and February (6).
- vs. Boston 1/30; @ Boston 2/10


Glad to see the schedule a little more balanced with home/away games, unlike past years when we've had 10-15 more home games than away by December and then have to make up the difference in March.

lmao, someone pointed this out on another forum but I didn't realize it was so pronounced. I was thinking to myself "oh boy, less b2b's this year, how nice."


yeah, it's probably better those home games return during the final stretches than giving extra-cheap comfort in december

[Pablo Escobar]

lol I wonder will Kobe ever get a christmas off

[MaDsKiLLzz24]

Boston a day b4 my bday..nice!!..last season i was in vegas when they played and kobe sank that game winner in BOS..the sweet part was the look in all the BOS fans that were sitting in the bar area i was at..

[AceFresh]

I'm feelin it, much better compared to last years. And illmatic - as long as he's a Laker, NEVER.

[PurpleBlood24]

Could be a great start to the season, I could see us going 15-3 by then end of November. Other than that, I'm piss they have to schedule a road game on my bday, I was planning on going to LA this year.

The December road trip is really only 6 games, the first game is against the Clips.

Oh yes, especially if we also have our front loaded home schedule to boot.

Our Lakes had the most back to backs last year, and they won the damn thing.

[iamworthy]

Not trying to be a kill joy, but I think we will start off slow this year. KB and AB are coming off of off season surgeries. They will probably be limited in the pre-season. But its not how you start, its how you finish.

[semi-sentient]

We have a very favorable schedule to start things off. Through December we play 18 road games, but most of those are against bunk teams. I see 5 tough games, and that's it.

Starting on January 17th all the way to the end of the season, our schedule looks pretty damn brutal though. Hopefully our chemistry is top notch and we're not dealing with any major injuries at that point.

[DEEP3CL]

This is our first balanced schedule in years, December is that key month we should catch fire. Big Game I wouldn't worry about Kobe or Drew too much, neither surgery was major and when the Lakers said Drew would be "limited", all that meant was they weren't going to let him do much just to stay on the side of precaution.

[So Gutta]

I think we have a pretty good schedule this year.

On a side note, I really want meet the guy that puts these schedules together... sometimes I think he's a straight up moron.

[laduane1]

Finally seems like a fair schedule. It was nice to have so many at home last year early. But we paid for it later on and that might have cost the Lakers home court thru out the play offs. Either way, Lakers need to win games and if there home or away. Just got to win and not worry about the heat or anyone else.

Ariza couldnt bear to see it so he left Houston

[H00PDREAMS]

Poor CAVS only THREE National Televised games... Wow did it ever get that bad for us after Shaq?
