Los Angeles Lakers (0-0)

vs

Golden State Warriors (0-0)

This is a dynamite matchup and a lot has been made of both of these teams. There are a lot of questions about them; Are the Lakers too old to be good? Can the Warriors overcome injuries and be a great team again? How will Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony fit into this Lakers lineup? These are just a few questions regarding these two dynasties, and I can’t wait to see them get answered this season. I think the Lakers will be up and down all year, showing flashes of greatness, but will fall short because they are not a complete team. Yes they have great individual players, but I cannot see these guys playing well together all season The Warriors, on the other hand, have some great young talent and Steph Curry who is still playing immaculately. I expect them to keep the game close tonight and the Lakers to show some sloppiness as they try to figure out their roles within this superstar-studded team. That being said, they are at home and have a chip on their shoulder after last post season. I expect AD and Bron to have a big games and pull out the win tonight. Take the Lakers -3 and Russell Westbrook under 18.5 points.
