|
|
9 day road trip coming up. We have 3 winnable games with Chi, Orl and Brooklyn. Hopefully we show some grit and mental toughness on the road. It's another big challenge for this young team.
1/26 at Chicago
1/28 at Toronto
1/31 at Orlando
2/2 at Brooklyn
2/4 at OKC _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

Nice that we have no back-to-backs, plus an extra day rest before each of the three easiest games.
We just beat the team with the best record in the East. We can beat any team in the league, even without Lonzo. And with Lonzo back, watch out!
3-2 would be a successful road trip, but better is possible. |

I would be happy with 3 out of 5 but considering we've recently beaten the Celtics and Spurs, we shouldn't discount the possibility of beating Toronto or OKC. On paper OKC should almost never lose, yet they lost to Phoenix and Dallas recently. Toronto may actually be harder as they lose to good teams but don't have the mental lapses that OKC has had playing against the weak ones. |

This team is capable of losing to Chicago, the Nets and Orlando, yet beating Toronto and OKC. Real tough to predict.
My guess is 2 wins. That gets me within 3 of the correct total.
Would love to see Ball healthy and fully functional on the court again. |

At least 2 wins and I’d be satisfied. Hope they give it all against OKC... |

I really hope we beat OKC. I'm hoping they figure out how to win 3 of 5 for the rest of the season. Unlikely, but it would be nice. _________________ "It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up."-The Greatest |

Chicago and Brooklyn are right there with us in the standings. Winning those games would be huge. |

Let's go 5-0, and make the Nuggets and Clippers sweat a little. |

7-2 last 9 games. Maybe we're finally clicking? I'll take 3-2 on this road trip. 4-1 would be sweet too. |

Anything between 1-4 and 4-1. Nothing in that range would surprise me with this young team. |

Looks like a 3-2 Road Trip...And I'd be very happy with that as long as we keep playing D the way we have. Julius is turning me into a fan. _________________ "If You're Afraid To Fail...Then You're Probably Going To Fail."

A 3-2 roadie would be considered pretty successful. They can do that. |

Looks like a 2-3 for me, we shouldn't go ahead of ourselves, still a young team, and without Zo we're still short at PG... |

Lakers will go no worse than 3-2 if, Lonzo makes back during the trip.
I Have strange, good feeling that they are gonna shock us by winning 4 games on this trip by winning in OKC or Toronto. |

3 of 5 wins from here on out would lead us to a 39-43 record, very close to an 8th seed. Would definitely take that!
I'll say 3-2 on this road trip, not necessarily in the predictable way though. |

Anything close to 40 wins would be sensational. |
