But LA has had Davis in the last 9 games and they lost 7 of them so I'm curious why you're so confident that if Davis plays, they win.

That may have been poor wording. I just do not fear the Lakers without AD. If its just the other guy they are beatable.

Well ya, obviously. Its a top 2 heavy team, take out the 2nd, and theyre nowhere near as good. The only team that can probably survive losing their 2nd best player is the Nets, and even they wouldnt be title contenders anymore without him.

Well they are obviously more dangerous with AD. At this point the bigger question I guess is LeBron healthy? He claims he's fine but we know he's a bit banged up. Much of it will come down to a) is Curry "on" with his shots (he's been a little more "off" the last few games), and b) how much of a problem will the Lakers size be? They could really dominate there, but it's also possible for the Warriors to neutralize that advantage by going small. AD being as mobile as he is makes that job more difficult though.

Didn't Curry lose a guy or two? Who is the 2nd all star in NY?

If AD does not play Ill take Curry over the other guy.

He will probably guard him as well.


This would be THE story if Wiggins has a big game and makes LeBron look like the aging player.....:)

The likelihood is low....but this really would bring back Wiggins into the all-star conversation.

So Mr. Wiggins...here you go. Big stage....against the guy that wanted you traded...and you could reshape your reputation completely with one big game.
