Also opened the season against GS whose biggest swing factor is how rested their veterans are. They came out guns blazing and have been a much worse team since the first week or so of the season. The team they were on opening night was not a barely above .500 team.
So our schedule is in my opinion a little tougher than even this stat gives us credit for.
Whose playing the other tougher schedules ahead of us?
I honnestly feel like our schedule has been pretty easy so far.
Doesn’t feel that way, only played OKC once, hasn’t played Huston Denver yet, the best eastern team we played against was the Bucks
Set high standards from the start and apply them rest of the season.
Also have dealt with a lot of injuries. We look good. Just unfortunately the Thunder look truly unbeatable but so did GSW in 2016 so who knows.
I love it here! Go Lakers!!!
I actually quite enjoy this year’s team so far. They’ve been fun to watch.
Anyone know how they determine strength of schedule?
For awhile our depth rotations were our two way players 😭
Getting spanked by OKC with the starters being able to take an early rest was definitely not confidence inducing for a finals run, though.
its slightly inflated imo — a lot of “bad” teams were good early
Going 10-4 without Bron was monumental. Great work by everyone top to bottom.
Is this the best 17 game start or Luka’s career?
Those Lakers are TOUGH
How’d I’d be if I were a Laker rn:

I would really like to know where strength of schedule played based on opponents win % is tracked.
I can only seem to find str of schedule remaining in the sites i checked.
Anyone have an idea?
Time to send AD back to Dallas with a loss.
Bro we have been winning on vibes alone the league is gonna be fucked once we finally see the roster gel together
I can hearing our schedule was easy ….
I want okc, lets bring it
Skinny Luka is guaranteed dominance.
Funny thing is you had some people saying lakers have had a easy schedule even though that’s far from true and considering last 3 games schedule was even harder in first 14 before we had lebron back
