    This is what should keep us fans up at night and restless.

    Pau Gasol sez: "That's where the parents come in." Well, goes without saying the Lakers will have to do their part.

    I think we can squeeze 2 wins out of the first 5.

    I hope so. I'm hoping our debut against Houston is a nice game for the youngsters. Starting of 1-0 would be a great feeling. Feels weird typing that.

    It's at home so everyone will be amped up. They will start off fast, get a double digit lead and...let's hope they hold on when matters settle down. Wasn't like that against Minny in our last opener. The difference is now they won't have to stand around and defer to anyone.

    When they talked about passing the torch, I didn't realize it was code for a crack pipe.:p

    Guess it looks ok.

    16 b2b is ok. (league average, last year average was 18)
    Travelling 53 k miles is a bit troublesome, as we traveled only 44 k miles last year. Thats going to take a toll on these young guys.

    With this young roster, b2b should not be an issue but given they are not used to the wear and tear of the NBA, the next couple of season will still be a challenge physically for them. Especially the travelling will be tough to deal with.
