What Mr. Spy

saw from the Warriors fans before the game:

"The mighty Lakers, best team ever, 1-4. Been capping on them being favorites nearly
every game. Pathetic."

"suddenly one expects to beat the lakers.
steve blake on curry, you gotta be kidding."

"I'm worried about this game.
Some guys are talking about the Lakers being 1-4 like that's an advantage. It's not.
That team is going to the playoffs and they'll win more than 45 games once they put it
all together. Kobe and Pau are career Warrior killers, Jamison always puts on against
Golden State, Artest is a nasty guy for youngsters like Klay and Barnes to run into.
With Bogut grounded and Ezeli still a bit naive, I dunno how well they'll be able to slow
down Howard.
My heart says Dubs by 8, my head says Lakers by 5. Either way, expect DLee to stay
hot for another week. The man bunches great games."

"Lot of nightmare matchups in this game.."

We could lose, easily. GSW is a decent team this year.

our perimiter rotations are so bad, their shooters could get off and kill us with 3s. Then the turnovers could create fast breaks ... yikes... not an easy game for sure... I say we win though

Warriors 103
Lakers 108

Another loss since they like to play down to the competition. Plus wounded dogs are always the most dangerous.

Lakers First, I feel like a total d-bag requesting this considering how awesome your game threads are, but could you put defensive efficiency ratings next to the teams under the stats just like you do for offense?

I hope we lose tonight,just so we can fire Mike Brown.

Forgive me LG,but im rooting for GS to win just for tonight.

They could easily lose this game because MB is an idiot.

Your thread is falling to the second page because of all the threads about brown. Bump.

This game will be tough. Thompson is a BEAST, extremely underrated player. & I except Golden State to make a push for the playoffs.

But we'll have a new kind of energy with Brown being fired. It'll be tough but I'm expecting a W.

We win big tonight. Players are ecstatic that Brown is flushed down!!!! Go Lakers!!!

Triangle_Offense · Star Player Joined: 17 Jun 2009 Posts: 2063 Location: AZ

Excited to see how the players react. Can't imagine them playing much worse than they did with Brown, so I'm expecting good things.

Andrew Bogut is also out tonight. Dwight should have a big game. Go Lakers!
