I've thought it was kind of weird to lump GSW in the top tier. Klay coming back could be interesting, but they are running it back with the same team that couldn't get in with the play in game.

Also, are the Lakers really going to start Baze and DJ? oof

Bjelica looks like David Lee on my computer monitor with this haircut. I love it.

Lakers are going to be a very rough watch.

Solid start for the Lakers savior. 0-4/0-2/1reb/1ast/0 points

Maybe if his name was Denise instead of Dennis.

Not sure what to make of either of these teams. Trust Lebron but everything around him after AD is a hot mess. Warriors going all in on their smaller lineup from last season makes sense but still not a lot of creativity after Steph and maybe Poole?

its all about how Klay comes back

Yeah, it’s hard to imagine him being the same player. It’s been like what, three years and 2 or 3 major injuries since he’s played. Maybe he can do it though

The Warriors stink, I also never understood the "contender" label they were getting. They're hoping a guy that's been out for two years is their savior.

Bjelca baby! Love to see him and Otto get a shot at a smart vet team.

There’s a fairly good chance LA loses this. Like how Lebron isn’t even pretending to play D.

The Lakers roster is so bad. Rondo, Westbrook, and Jordan are all the opposite type of players you want to surround Lebron and AD with.

With GS playing so poorly, it’s kind of hard to tell, but the Lakers don’t look good outside of AD and Lebron. That’s bad bad news for them

Can't believe how stupid the Warriors are playing. They should be leading comfortably.

Bjelica has been perfect for them in this one.

Beautiful Warriors basketball is back replacing dum dums like Oubre and Wiseman with Nemanja and a Poole breakout

#1 and #3 ranked teams looking very bad tonight.

Will the Lakers win any type of a game in October?

I know medical science has improved, but Redd was never the same when he essentially missed 2 seasons of basketball. Banking on Klay to return to form especially on the defensive side seems tough. I don’t think he will have problems shooting, but I can’t imagine he will be anywhere close to the same defensive player.
