By George Stahl NEW YORK (AQB)--Hope you like the Lakers because you're going to see a lot of them over the next few months as NBC, TBS and TNT plan to show 23 of the team's 50 games. It's all the Shaq Daddy that you can handle. In comparison, the other Los Angeles team - the Clippers - are not scheduled to appear on any national television games.

TNT and TBS will combine to broadcast a total of 45 games on Monday (TBS), Tuesday (TNT) and Friday (TNT) nights during the regular season, with 22 of the 29 teams appearing on national cable telecasts. TNT will broadcast an opening-night doubleheader Feb. 5 of New York at Orlando and Houston at the Los Angeles Lakers. NBC will begin its schedule with a doubleheader Feb. 7 with regional telecasts featuring the Miami Heat at New York and Indiana at the Detroit Pistons, followed by Utah at the L.A. Lakers.
