    You are probably right. That would be such an awesome scenario too.

    Was that with or without kobe?

    Without kobe, I give them a chance.

    With kobe, no chance.

    If it's a completely different team than last year except for Nick Young... wouldn't last years game(s) mean even less?

    Last years game means nothing in my opinion. The Warriors are playing better than they were at that time last year as well. But I also don't think the Warriors can just roll over and win tonight, but I'm sure they know that.

    Brook Lopez had a point blank look to beat the Warriors during this streak. The Warriors are beatable. Their obscene point differential is out of whack because they beat the Grizzlies by 50.

    0% chance the Lakers can win this game now. All that is left to do is wait.

    Frankly I hope the fans vote Kobe to the all-star game. It would be a big enough disgrace that it should warrant a change to the system.

    Warriors December schedule. Who knows how many more they could end up winning.

    Ohhh my. Is Charlotte the best team they face until Christmas? They really could be undefeated until then.

    Some might say the back to back at Brooklyn and at Milwaukee are when it'll end but they have so many players and get so much rest from blow outs I don't think fatigue will be as big a problem as for other teams. I guess travel will be their #1 opponent.

    I mean odds are definitely they lose something until then but thats so crazy it seems very possible.

    The Cleveland game would also be potentially for win number 33 to tie the all time Lakers streak. Its only game number 29 but the Warriors final 4 wins from last years regular season would technically be included.

    That 7 game road trip will kick their butt. They may lose all 7. They barely beat Brooklyn at home.

    I think their most serious threat might be their next one @PHX

    What do you have against the Warriors?

    At least be realistic. I think they may lose one game on the 7 game roadie for the fact that it's a 7 game roadie... but you got to admit this may be a once in a decade team. MAY be.

    I'd say the three time champion Heat (2 this decade, 3 in the last 10 years) are the team of the decade. And they won 27 in a row!
