I predict 7-0. Lakers are on a mission this year!

The Bucks will probably be riding a 19-game win streak and they'll be well rested (3 days), while our boys are going to be playing the last game of a lengthy road trip (8 games if you discount the quick stopeover vs the Wolves). They also play at a frenetic pace (tops in the league), while the Lakers are a middle of the pack team (14th). I have a feeling they could get run out of the gym.
The Blazers are a revenge game for them after getting punked the other day.
We should win against the Clippers, Mavs and Nuggets. The Atlanta match should be easy. If we win those 4 matches, I would be happy if we only win 1 of the other 3 ones.
At this moment whatever better than 3-4 in that stretch is great. January
has a ton of winnable games, we re already far of schedule.With a 3-4
in these games we ll still be first in west an 26-7.
The Bucks, Nuggets, Clippers games will test the not losing back to back goal. I think we go 6-1 with a loss to the Trailblazers, who have a home court advantage with the refs similar to Utah and Denver (especially against the Lakers). Lakers players will be exhausted after beating the Bucks, Nuggets, and Clippers, so they'll give half their usual effort against the Trailblazers, which won't be enough to win.

As long as they take out the Clips I'm good. Would love to see them beat the Bucks as well. They should win the other games but if they lose a game or two I'd be fine as long as the get the two huge one.

I am with you on this one. Although the Portland and mavericks are interchangeable to me. _________________ Wow. Luke has gone full (bleep) on us. - DB

Portland is a relatively weak team this year (10-16) and they are the first night of the back to back. I see us beating Portland, but the Mavericks are a bad matchup for them and we'll be tired out from facing Portland the night before. We barely beat Dallas the first time and lost pretty badly the second time. We don't have anyone who can guard Doncic. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

5-2 (but I wouldn’t be surprised or worried if we loose 3)
That’s a tough seven games. I believe playing two or three teams that we don’t match up well with will results in some losses. It’s better to lose to them now, then we take them out in the playoffs. We’re notoriously bad on Christmas Day games, so I expect another loss to the Clippers. Dallas is beatable, but takes too much effort to worry about during the regular season. The Bucks will be interesting, it could go either way.

Yup. I want Ws against the Clippers and Mavs the most. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

Bucks will be tough, end of our roadtrip and they have days off. I think we match up well with them so it will be competitive. Dallas and the Clips will be tough.
8-0 _________________ Starting Lakers Dynasty6.0! NOW!!
