Reminder:
The Lakers faced 11 teams this season who played the Clippers the night before. The Clippers faced just 4 teams who played the Lakers the night before.
The Lakers had the fewest back to backs in the NBA. The Clippers had the 2nd most back to backs in the NBA.

The Lakers are tied for least back to backs of anyone in NBA this season. Games at beginning of season count as much as ones at end. Spare me blaming schedule.

You guys need to excuse me for not posting much lately. I’ve been in the midst of a 6 day back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back of 10 hour workdays. My employer didn’t offer me the option of load management. So I don’t have a whole lotta violins to play for our guys because they worked an extra 5 minutes in Utah the night before.
And so by the logic I’ve been reading, we should open up a 20 point lead against the Suns on Friday since they’ll be playing the tail end of a back-to-back. Is that how it works…?
