ESPN's listed the first month already. The rest should be coming out within the hour.

We have a 5 game road trip in November before our 8 game road trip in December...before our Grammy road trip

The beginning of the season is really manageable. If this team jells quickly, we can have a respectable record (.500 or so) heading into December. This is very encouraging.

True. The first month actually looks pretty decent. We play in Oakland once, but other than that, we don't play any other "elite" teams either.

Yeah, i'm encouraged. If we gel early and are able to win a couple games at the start, we could gain some confidence and momentum.

Yeah, but they loaded us up on the "winnable" road games early in the season, when we are most likely to struggle on the road.

Good point. April looks brutal. And our home stand in March is made up of a bunch of upper tier teams too. At least we'll get a lot of the East traveling done early on.

I would much rather have it this way than a stacked beginning of the season. We all know basketball has a lot to do with confidence. If we can win some games from the start it will make for a much more interesting season. And at the very least, it will slow up tank mode for a couple months and allow us to cheer for wins.

We can really gain some ground in the 1st month of the season (only Golden State is a sure loss). This is good because it is easier to steal road games early in the season so I think we come out strong. Playoffs could be in sight fellas..

IMO, this is a worst case schedule and will probably cost us 7-10 wins that we could have had if it were more balanced. Young teams do not do well with early road games

We play OKC on the 2nd night of a B2B three times this season. Wonder if Kobe will play in any of those games or sit them out and rest?

Obviously the road trips are no bueno, but at least we have an easier start than last season. We have games against Minnesota, Sacramento, Dallas, Denver, Brooklyn, New York, Miami, Orlando, Dallas again, Detroit, and Phoenix. None of those wins are guaranteed but at least out of our first 11 games we only play a tier 1/2 team once.

Pretty soft through the end of 2015. 33 Games, but 22 on the road. However if we can get 18-20 wins over that span it would give the group confidence to make a run at the playoffs. Plus road trip always help a team gel so its good that we have a lot early.

Can't really be mad about the schedule.

Chill dude we have to play the same number of games against each team anyways

It balances over a period

I actually like that. Play those games when kobe is fresh and get us some wins

When the games occur matters a lot, with all of those early road games, they will have a lot less time to practice and improve between games. Sure, we'll make up for it later in the season, but that will be after we have lost a lot games that we could have won with more experience

The schedule was brutal last year at the very beginning of the season. I like the first month of the season.
