The Celtics and the Lakers have fantastic histories, but there is no reason in the world that we can’t be as successful as those teams.
OAKLAND –- Given how high the Warriors have risen and how low the Lakers have fallen, there will be no small amount of irony on display when the teams meet Tuesday night at Oracle Arena.
The Warriors, mediocre or worse for the better part of the last 30 years, have evolved into defending champions seeking an exalted place in NBA history.
The Lakers, NBA royalty since arriving in Los Angeles in 1960, would walk the streets begging for wins if they thought it would help.
