Suns Last in League in Home Games??? Lakers the MOST!

Would have been nice if you included the opponents (not just when they share home court with the Clippers). How many of those back-to-back is against a good team. I know our next Lakers game at home is not a back-2-back game for the Lakers, while ours have been 2x on their home court.

The 8 game roadie is against the East, so orlando, cavs, boston. Glancing I noticed some tough games on back to backs, but didn't pay much attention.

You can see the schedule at lakers.com if you are really interested.

Sorry, Donald...but that's just not funny at all.

Donald, that almost looks like you're laughing at us

HA HA HA HA

LOL...I thought the same after I posted it.

How many of those back-to-back is against a good team.

Not many, actually. We got very fortunate there. Plenty of back to backs, but most of them START with a good team like Cavs, Orlando or Denver, and end with a cupcake like Charlotte or the Bucks or the knicks.

Here are the ones that end with a good team (or have both teams as good teams). There are other back to backs, but if we can't beat Golden State and Sacramento back to back, even on the road, then we should quit playing basketball. I didn't include b2b's like that below.

Tue 12 @ San Antonio
Wed 13 @ Dallas

Fri 05 vs Denver
Sat 06 @ Portland (while Portland isn't "elite," the Lakers simply can't win in the Rose Garden - kryptonite)

Tue 23 @ Memphis
Wed 24 @ Dallas

Fri 26 @ Oklahoma City
Sat 27 @ Houston (team that gives us fits)

Appears the Suns are not the only one complaining. Adelman is pissed with the Rocket's schedule.

HOUSTON (AP)—Houston Rockets coach Rick Adelman criticized the NBA on Monday for setting up an “utterly ridiculous” schedule for his team that includes four back-to-back games over the next two weeks.
The Rockets face Detroit at home on Tuesday, then must fly to Denver to play the first-place Nuggets on Wednesday. They visit Dallas on Friday and return home to face Oklahoma City on Saturday—then have to play two games on consecutive nights twice more during Christmas week.

“We have a horrendous stretch here,” Adelman said. “I don’t know if the league really understands that they gave us four straight back-to-backs. It’s awful.”
NBA spokesman Tim Frank said in an e-mail that the league had no comment on Adelman’s statements.
Houston plays the Los Angeles Clippers at home on Dec. 22 and Orlando on the road on Dec. 23, followed by road games against New Jersey (Dec. 26) and Cleveland (Dec. 27).
“It’s utterly ridiculous,” Adelman said. “But that’s the schedule we have, it’s just the way it is and we’re just going to have to respond to it.”
Adelman said the schedule gives his team little time to practice, and even less time to spend with their families for the holiday.
“Every team should have a chance where they’re home a little bit,” he said. “We have no chance. This is the most ridiculous schedule I’ve ever seen.”
The Rockets are 5-0 in the second games of back-to-backs this season, but 1-4 in the first games. They have 10 road games in December, but by the All-Star break, they will have played 26 road games and 25 at home.
