http://www.ocregister.com/sports/jamiso ... -nash.htmlEL SEGUNDO – Opening night is Oct. 30 against the visiting Dallas Mavericks, whose Dirk Nowitzki is losing all the championship hope that longtime pal Steve Nash now suddenly can revel in with the Lakers.
Christmas is at Staples Center against the other big-money-market marquee team, the New York Knicks.
Revenge-in-the-air showdowns await against the Western Conference favorite Thunder in Oklahoma City on Dec. 7 and March 5 and in Los Angeles on Jan. 11 and Jan. 27.
And possible NBA Finals previews loom against LeBron James on Jan. 17 at Staples and Feb. 10 to close the annually epic Grammy Awards trip (Phoenix-Minnesota-Detroit-Brooklyn-Boston-Charlotte-Miami this time).
The NBA schedule won't be released until Thursday evening, but those are the Lakers' schedule highlights and the sort of action Antawn Jamison signed up for Wednesday – showing a self-described "skeptical" Mitch Kupchak that players who'll take less money for the chance to play big games and contend for championships still exist...

Damnit, if only XMas was at MSG. I'm back to my roots to have a Mayan birthday bash for the ages.

I'd rather open against the Clippers and the Nets on the 25th.

Apparently the schedule-makers expected Dolan to match Lin's offer too.

that's good gives the lakers five weeks to gel before facing OKC.

I'd be disappointed watching the Knicks if it were just a Wednesday night.

so ya think 5 and 2 on the grammy road trip? lakers always haven't been good on x-mas day they're like 5 and 6 maybe a rare win when the knicks come to town, i think there record this year will be 60 and 22, if they get d-ho' it might be 64 and 18, they might be second in the west this season all depends on the thunder and the old guys of the spurs on where the lakers might wind up in the standings
