Final: Well, that does it folks. Good night!
Final: The Lakers fall to 1-9, which is the worst start ever in their 66-year history. The Warriors improve to 8-2.
Final: After a 1-for-14 shooting night, as expected, Kobe had a much better game, scoring 44 points. However, right from the first quarter, he had no trust in his teammates since they were missing shots. Kobe came out firing.
Final: Bogut started off hot, as he scored 12 early points and put the Lakers away early in this game.
Final: Curry wrecked the Lakers with 30 points and 15 assists on 5-for-9 shooting from three-point range. He was slicing and dicing the Lakers defense all game long.
Final: Defense takes effort. It's a mentality that the Lakers don't have.
Final: They came out with zero energy and focus. The Lakers are playing as if they are not even a professional basketball team. No excuse for them to give up lay ups after lay ups or wide open threes. That just tells us that they are being lazy.
Final: Well, the Lakers played no defense again right from the start and lost big.

1st Quarter (12:00): We are underway!
9:20 P.M. EST: Kobe Bryant will give it a go in this game, despite still feeling under the weather.
9:06 P.M. EST: Going back to Ronnie Price, he will appeal his suspension, so he can get his salary back.
8:56 P.M. EST: It has been tough for Laker fans to look games but then again, it has also been easy since their expectations are so low.
8:54 P.M. EST: Ronnie Price was surprised he was suspended for unintentionally hitting Austin Rivers in the face.
8:22 P.M. EST: Bryon Scott still thinks that Kobe will play throug the flu tonight, he hasn't heard from him yet.
7:42 P.M. EST: Iguodala coming off the bench gives that unit a great ball handler with excellent perimeter defense. Barnes being reinstated into the starting lineup like he was during his rookie season has really rejuvenated his career. He is getting open looks and making the most of it. This courageous move by Coach Kerr has been extremely effective. So that's why Lee may come off the bench as well when he returns, and that will give the Warriors a superb scorer and rebounder off the bench.
7:41 P.M. EST: David Lee has been out all but one game for the Warriors this season, yet they have been winning. Lee is a great player who could average around 18 and 9, but Draymond Green has fit in perfectly with the first unit. The question is will the Warriors place Lee to the bench permenately when he returns? Steve Kerr has done a fantastic job with this team and has made solid adjustments. He was not afraid to bench Andre Iguodala, and it has worked out.
7:40 P.M. EST: As you can see in the video below, the Lakers were hanging in with the Warriors with good ball movement but then they stopped sharing the ball, and the game started getting out of hand. Also, Klay Thompson has really hurt the Lakers this season, including the preseason. Klay recorded a career-high of 41 points last time these two teams met, so the Lakers will have to keep him in check. Also in the video, we can see how easily the Lakers defense was breaking down, mainly off picks. The Lakers have been poor at defending the pick and roll.
7:39 P.M. EST:
7:38 P.M. EST: The Lakers will have to win this game with adequate ball movement and player movement. It seems like for them, every game is going to take a complete team effort on both ends to win it. It cannot be one person. Kobe cannot do it all by himself and as it was the case on Friday, Boozer cannot either. Consistency and focus is going to be the theme for this team. They are just not consistent enough, and it is costing them wins.
7:37 P.M. EST: The Lakers are 0-3 against the Warriors this season, including two preseason games. In those three games, the Lakers have lost by an average of 26.3 points to Golden State and have given up 121.0 points. That kind of defense is inexcusable, and the Lakers will have to clean up their defense if they want a chance in this one.
7:36 P.M. EST: Carlos Boozer was fantastic in the team's last game. The Lakers will need another effort like that from him and hopefully, Kobe doesn't have another terrible game when Boozer is finally playing well.
7:35 P.M. EST: The Lakers have one of the worst three-point field goal defenses as they allow opponents to shoot 40.6 percent from that mark. It will absolutely be a blowout if they do not cover that area in this game. They will have to make the effort to run the shooters off the line.
7:34 P.M. EST: Without doubt, when playing the Warriors, the three-point line is what you have to cover. The Lakers will have to be aware of the Splash Brothers Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry. Either one of these two can catch fire and knock down plenty of threes. The Lakers will have to keep them in check and make sure they don't leave them to shoot wide open threes.
7:33 P.M. EST: The Lakers bench has been very poor of late. You cannot blame them as they have been extremely thin due to injuries or other reasons. The Lakers finally got Ryan Kelly back, however. In this game, Ronnie Price will also return from a one game suspension.
7:32 P.M. EST: Kobe Bryant is coming off a very poor shooting night on Friday against the defending champions San Antonio Spurs. He shot 1-for-14 from the field. Look for him to try and turn things around in this game. Expect an aggressive, focused Kobe. He will surely not score nine points in this one. However, Kobe was extremely ill during Friday's game, and he expects to play in this one as he gets over the sickness.
7:31 P.M. EST: As we all know it, the Lakers have had a rough season and will go up against another Western Conference powerhouse in the Warriors, who are currently third place in the West with a 7-2 record. The Lakers place in last place in their conference and own the second worst record in the league.
7:30 P.M. EST: Hi, everyone! Welcome to VAVEL_USA's Live of Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Lakers game from STAPLES Center Downtown, Los Angeles.
