Lakers face a long road trip to defend crown ... eventually

The Lakers' defense of their NBA title encompasses the usual 82 games over nearly six months of play, beginning in L.A. and ending there. Somewhere along the way, they'll even have to leave home.
Kobe Bryant and the returning champs begin the 2009-10 season, though, with 17 of their first 21 games at the Staples Center, including an opening-night affair against their L.A. co-inhabitants. That Oct. 27 encounter with the Clippers on TNT doubles as the pro debut of No. 1 pick Blake Griffin. (Think the Clips' newest savior won't daydream a bit about his own Hollywood moment during the Lakers' ring ceremony?)
The league made public the itineraries of its member squads Tuesday for a season that begins on Oct. 27 and wraps up April 14. Every one of the 30 teams plays a grueling 82-game schedule. Every schedule has its quirks. Such is the equality of the NBA. No one gets any special treatment.
Those perusing the Lakers' march through mid-December might disagree. But the champs make up for their early season cruise on the back end of their schedule. Of their last 41 games, the Lakers venture out of SoCal 25 times. (Not included in that total is a "road" game at the Clippers to finish out the season.)
2009-10 NBA Schedule
That might be enough for the Spurs or Nuggets or someone else to pass the Lakers and claim the Western Conference's top seed. But we're getting way ahead of ourselves.
Before anyone begins the time-honored tradition of going game-by-game to predict a final record (it happens in every sport), let's take a look at some of the more interesting aspects of the NBA's 64th season.
The national television schedule features 239 games on TNT, ESPN, ABC and NBA TV. TNT kicks off its 53-game lineup with an opening night Eastern Conference showdown of old faces in new places. Shaquille O'Neal joins LeBron James as the Cavaliers host Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and the newest Celtic, Rasheed Wallace.
Cleveland-Boston is followed by Lakers-Clippers on TNT. ESPN gets its 75-game run going the following evening with four Western Conference contenders squaring off -- Hornets-Spurs and Jazz-Nuggets. NBA TV has 96 games, including the popular Fan Night every Tuesday beginning Nov. 3.
Lakers-Clippers is also the start of ESPN Radio's 26-game package of national coverage. Half of them are Sunday afternoon contests, with 12 matching up with televised games on ABC.
Basketball is a gift that keeps on giving, with five games this Christmas. ABC has the first of its 15 games with the Dec. 25th twosome of Celtics-Magic and Cavs-Lakers. ESPN has another three games -- Heat-Knicks, Clippers-Suns and Nuggets-Blazers.
It'll be a while before 'Sheed gets comfy in his new digs. The Celtics have two stretches in which they play seven of eight on the road, all before New Year's Day. Boston also doesn't have a homestand at TD Banknorth Garden of longer than three games until a six-gamer in late March.
The other Western Conference semifinalist better get cooking on the road early. Seven of the first nine games for the Nuggets are away from home, including a six-game Eastern Conference march that begins Nov. 3. Denver went 21-20 on the road last season.
As if the road wasn't already daunting without Yao Ming, the Rockets play 22 of their first 36 games on it. Speaking of long trips, the Bulls head out on treks of six games in November and another seven in January. The Lakers and Clippers both have eight-game trips starting Jan. 21, to make room for the Grammys taking over Staples.
In an effort to fight homesickness, none of the Houston's roadies is longer than four games. Eight other teams can say the same; the Hawks, Pistons, Pacers, Timberwolves, Thunder, Magic, Raptors and Wizards.
The Spurs' annual bonding exercise, the Rodeo Trip, is an eight-game jaunt that runs Feb. 3-21 and covers the All-Star break.
In a case of symmetry, the Heat follow up a run that starts in late January, during which they play 11 of 13 on the road, with 11 of 13 at American Airlines Arena.
The 1,230 games that make up the 2009-10 regular season come to a close with Utah hosting the Suns on April 14 on ESPN. On to the Playoffs.
