Although at first glance you might think the Lakers should just destroy the Golden State Warriors that is not case. I do believe Lakers will beat the Warriors, but not by the 13 point spread.

The Lakers are by far the best team in the NBA right now in my opinion. When Kobe and company are on their game, there is no one that can stop them, but there are a few teams that always give the Lakers trouble and the Warriors are one of those teams.

For some reason, no matter how bad the Sacramento Kings, Portland Trailblazers and Golden State Warriors are the Lakers always have trouble closing them out. The Lakers do end up beating these teams on a regular basis, but it is always close battle.

The Lakers will win, but they will not cover the spread.
