NBA, Team News / Analysis, Los Angeles Lakers
One of the best times in the dog days of summer has arrived. The release of next year's NBA schedule! This year we'll get to see a full basketball season, which means there will be some nights that basketball isn't on, sadly, but teams will be better rested and hopefully get less injuries. The Lakers have a fairly easy beginning, with 9 out of 11 games being home games. The end could prove to be a bit tougher with 5 out of 11 being home games, and three back-to-back series, two of which series are away.
These are some games Lakers fans should get excited about and mark your calendars for:
Oct. 30 - vs. Mavericks (home)
Nov. 2 - vs. Clippers (home)
Nov. 13 - vs. San Antonio (home)
Nov. 16 - vs. Suns (home)
Dec. 7 - vs. Thunder (away)
Dec. 25 - vs. Knicks (home)
Jan. 17 - v. Heat (home)
Feb. 7 - vs. Celtics (away)
Feb. 20 - vs. Celtics (home)
Granted, there will be some big match-ups as the season progresses, and depending on if the Lakers are able to land a certain center from Orlando. These games comprise the bigger winter holidays, like Christmas day, and the first time the Lakers play bigger rivals (Phoenix is going to be a good one!).
