Lakers remaining schedule - 14Home/24Away! 

Post#1 » by klemen4 » Wed Jan 28, 2009 6:54 am

I just watched Bobcats beating LAL in Los Angeles.

Now we are even with them having 9 loses.

I looked their schedule and been surprised. They have really hard schedule remaining.

14 home games
24 away games

Also out of that 24 away games they have

One 3 game road trip
Two 6 game road trips !!!

I posted this because I believe we must have home court advantage to repeat.

Well, we will see how Cleveland and Lakers play in next month...but we must take care of business and continue to win.

yes and a quick glance for april has 4 of the last 8 fakers gms vs:

@ Milw
LAC
@ Sac
Mem?

u kiddin me? man, there are way more bad teams out west than in the east. in the east, only the wizz will bend over on a nightly basis (though they did give the fakers all they had in Was in a 2pt loss) and u can always count on the sac queens to give the fakers a hard time over @ the barn in sac. but in a way, that's probably not a good tuneup going into the playoffs and hope they let off their foot off the gas pedal and be complacent/lackadaisical those last few gms....

Edit:

predictions for fakers in the month of Feb: 2-11 at best 4-9 lol

Yeah, but a lot of teams aren't winning consistently at home. Teams like Detroit, Utah and Phoenix no longer are nearly unbeatable at home. So, if you're the Cavaliers, Magic or Lakers. Playing and winning on the road isn't such a daunting task.

I could care less about the Lakers schedule. I'm just focus on what the Celtics are doing. If they continue to win ball games and if they add a couple of messing parts they should be ok. I think last year lossing all those road games are going to help this team. I not as worried about them going on the road to win play-offs games. The key games I look for the Celtics to win are games 1,3,5,7. If they can win those swing games which they did last year then they should be ok.

Man your a piece of work ! comical at best. The amazing thing about it is that I can respect that you feel the Lakers can't win on the road so be it, but you have us pegged for losses at home to Phoenix(a team we've dominating even with Shaq) Atlanta ( They play us tough in the ATL but in LA they're no match) and New Orleans ( They play us well in LA but we own them period).

But whatever man I guess the Lakers shouldn't even bother playing or showing up since they're going to lose anyway.

We may be heated rivals but at least your senseable and knowledgeable about the game, that's why I respect you bonsai. That's just respect for calling the situation for what it is after assessing it.

There is really no point of this thread except to invite trolls (not you DEEP3CL). If you want to start a thread comparing remaining schedules of all contenders for best record, fine, but this is inciting.
