Byron Scott says the Showtime Lakers would beat the current Golden State Warriors in a seven game series

The Lakers coach is confident in his former teammates, less so in his current roster.

The Los Angeles Lakers will attempt to stop history on Wednesday night when they face the Golden State Warriors. Stephen Curry and company are currently rampaging through the league, leading the NBA in offensive efficiency (scoring 111.8 points per 100 possessions) and net-rating (outscoring opponents by 15 points per 100 possessions), while ranking fifth in the league in defensive rating (96.8). They are by all measures a historical juggernaut, and today's Lakers will have a tough time even keeping the game within single digits, much less winning.
