The 2014-15 Los Angeles Lakers finally know when they’ll be playing, and who they’ll be taking the court with.
After looking over the schedule, digesting the 82 games worth of story lines and potential plots that may arise during the season, I have picked out five games that I feel are must-watch television for Lakers fans.

There will be the return of a superstar, clashes with old comrades, rivalries renewed, and history to be witnessed.
Of course, for your average Laker junkie, all 82 contests will have their own unique flavor. There will be reason to indulge in each one, regardless of the team’s record.
However, the following five games are the ones that I am most excited to watch, due to potential storylines in addition to the great basketball I expect every time I tune in.
So, without further ado, here’s No. 1 on the list.
