SAN FRANCISCO — The question caused Lakers coach Byron Scott to offer an incredulous look, suggesting there shouldn’t even be a debate. Would the the Showtime Lakers beat the current Golden State Warriors?
“In a seven-game series? Absolutely,” Scott said following Lakers morning shootaround at the Olympic Club. “I don’t know in how many [games]. But in my mind and humble opinion, we would win a seven-game series against them.”
As for the current-day Lakers (2-11) when they play the Golden State Warriors (15-0) on Tuesday at the Oracle? Well, that’s a different story.
“I think they would probably win that series right now,” Scott said, chuckling, moments after focusing on tonight’s game.
