We will only have 11 games that start at 7:30 PST (this so they can maximize east coast viewership and great for me since I wake up 4AM everyday so win win baby!)

We travel by far the least miles of any western conference team - this probably the most underrated note. Huge for our older guys and will help keep them fresh for later in the season.

Our first 18 games only 8 teams that are projected to make the playoffs - this is good for a team with a lot of new pieces, the con being our middle of the year schedule is brutal which is usually when nagging injuries cost key players PT.

Isn't this basically because we play in the same building as the clips?

Im sure that's part of it. But plenty more factors. We usually are middle of the pack considering we are on the furthest coast and fly to Portland in division. Think how close Toronto/Philly/Manhattan/Brooklyn/Boston is. Or Mil/Chi/Detrioit/Cle

Good post. Another thing I'll add to that - look at the last 14 games. Lakers can legitimately go 12-2 or 11-3 to end the season. Strong finish is also very crucial heading into the playoffs. They can also give their players some rest against weaker teams down the stretch if needed.

The schedule is set up perfectly for Lakers to start strong and finish strong.

I read somewhere that Lakers were top 7 in miles traveled last season. i don't know if true or not.
