We're playing 15 games in April. That's (bleep) insane.

That's beyond a challenge. Pels are the only sub .500 team.

Load management is so important. We're so reliant on Lebron to win that we have to load manage him. Rest him against any playoff caliber team that's not a national TV game but I think the Lakers will have all those game televised so I don't know we're gonna load manage him. Just eat the 100k fine every time?

The Jazz have the easiest 2nd half schedule by opponent win percentage.

The thing I like about the second half schedule is that it doesn't start until March 12. So LeBron will have three full days of rest before the All-Star game, then four more full days of rest until our next game.

Plus, after our first game of the second half, we have two full days of rest before the next game, so that's even more rest for LeBron.

The schedule right after the ASB is pretty easy so not only should LBJ get a break but we should be able to ease AD back in without too much stress.

Without AD and DS, we don't even have to predict the outcomes. Just put an L next to every game.

I'm a 'never say never' kind of guy, but even I don't think the Lakers will end up being lower than a 4 or 5 seed by the playoffs.

But just imagine if the Lakers does indeed end up the 8th seed, and they peak at the right time which is closer to the playoffs - probably the most OP 8th seed ever? Lol

The thing about trying to coast, you end up having to work harder.

Especially when every team gets up for you.

why is it brutal? not that much different than any other contender 2nd half schedule. Outside of Utah, we're within 1-2 games in the L column to everyone else. The focus is not securing home court, the focus is getting healthy for the playoff. The argument should be how to load manage LeBron
