Who Makes These Schedules Anyway?

The Lakers are looking to keep the momentum rolling, having won 18 of their last 22 games, but starting with tonights contest at San Antonio, the schedule gets much tougher.

Kobe and co will make the short trip to Dallas to complete the treaded "Texas Two-Step" on Friday, before returning home for an afternoon matchup against the Lebrons on Sunday. A home game against the terrible Knicks will be the Lakers' last rest before they embark on a massive 9 game road trip next week.

These next few weeks will be a crucial test for the 2nd youngest team in the NBA, they must continue to assert themselves even without Bynum. By the Allstar Break, the Lakers will have played the hardest part of their schedule, and we should have a good idea of where they will stand in the West come playoff time.
