Good news. It's going to be a tough month or so for the Lakers.
From now through the end of December (15 games), their opponent win pct. is .622. During this span, they play just three games against teams under .500, 11 against teams over .500 and 1 at .500. They have to play both the Warriors and Rockets 3 times each.
If they get 5 wins over that stretch, I'd be impressed.
For perspective, their opponents win pct. is .476 so far this year. They played 10 games vs. sub .500 teams, nine vs. above .500 teams, and one vs. a .500 team.
(In truth, I dove into these numbers because it seemed like they were always playing bad teams, so I was actually disappointed to see a relatively even split; probably means their schedule in January/February should be much easier.)
