Mitch Kupchak confident as Lakers prepare to go back to work
Posted Dec 8, 2011
The Lakers are an older team, with eight players over 30, and the compressed regular-season schedule won't be friendly. Teams will have to play three games in three nights at least once this season. Some will have to do it two or three times. "I'm so old that I've been though the first lockout and I did play in a year when we played back-to-backs-to-backs several times in a season," Kupchak, 57, said
