I think it's unlikely that a Warriors fan who just told me "tl;dr" would have the patience to go back and watch YouTube videos of a Lakers-Kings game from 10 years ago to support his point rather than just relying on popular perception, but if you've actually done that, then no...your age doesn't matter.

The game wasn't rigged. The Lakers got the better end of the whistles, but Beech's review and analysis of the game proves pretty clearly that it wasn't rigged. People just like to whine about the Lakers, whether it's that game, the Gasol trade, the Howard/Nash acquisitions, etc. It's always a part of some bigger, systemic issue. No one cares that Game 5 of that series was at least as egregious, with prime-Shaq shooting exactly one free throw (when he averaged 10.5 in every other game) and fouling out in 32 minutes. No one ever points to the Kings completely s**tting on themselves at home in Game 7, going 16-30 from the FT line and 2-20 from the 3 point line, despite being given ample opportunity to win the series.

Cause Im a Warriors fan I dont have the patience to watch a video of one of the most scrutinized games in NBA history? sure, great logic Pete.

Lol if you say so. I'll read the article you posted and tell you if I agree with it or not.

Health willing, obviously. But you guys have considerably more talent than you did last year, and the pieces fit together. Curry/Thompson/Barnes/Lee/Bogut is an excellent starting 5, and Jack/Rush/Landry is an very nice trio off of the bench.

The one guy you guys can't afford to lose is Bogut. That starting lineup isn't all that great on the defensive end, but he'll clean up a lot of mistakes. If he goes down, you guys are screwed. If anyone else goes down, you have a guy that can adequately replace him.

The Dubs are gonna surprise a lot of people this year.
