ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy on how he'd beat the Lakers if he were coaching the Warriors

ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy doesn't think the Golden State Warriors will beat the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night in the first round of the NBA play-in tournament.

"Well, I think the Lakers will win, and pretty convincingly,” Van Gundy told Jas Kang of SB Nation's Collaborative Warriors podcast.

But that doesn't mean he hasn't thought about how the Warriors could theoretically pull the upset.

Van Gundy, who won 430 games during his NBA head coaching career and made one trip to the NBA Finals with the New York Knicks, told Kang it'll take a big game from one man.
