Could the 09 Lakers beat the Warriors?

[Houston911]

Warriors would kill them

Lakers would win 1 game, 2 games tops

Draymond green would bully the sh*t out of pau

All depends on if Bynum is completely healthy

Kobe would drop 30 and 40 on Iggy religiously. The achilles game he was shytting on Klay. thats old Kobe. 09 kobe would son them no problem. Kawhi was sonning them all season and game 1 before Zaza purposely injured him.

People forget that 34 year old Kobe was a monster and he was torching the warriors the night he tore his achilles (his real retirement) but prime kobe was snatching souls.. he had tough defenders out there questioning their mental makeup after he was done with them.

Duh nikka we historically praise when old players turn back the hands of times and excuse them when the clock goes back to normal. It's like that with everybody not just kobe. Get that dikk out your mouth

You're a clown

 

[The God Poster]

According to guys like @Malta Warriors are the GOAT team

GSW>>>>96 Bulls

 

[Rigby.]

Even if Warriors do somehow lose this series, it's gonna take some incredible fukkery. Bron and Kyrie are gonna have to average 40, Love is gonna have to wipe himself off the pavement, Tristan is gonna have to develop an offensive game, and Klay will have to leave the Warriors by game 2. I don't see how any team is beating this GSW squad point blank. Their traps on star players and denial of role players going off is superior to even the '14 Spurs rn.

Lakers in 6

 

[<<TheStandard>>]

Once again you can't use the whole because team A struggled in round 1 against this team, then they can't possibly beat that team. This logic doesn't work in sports.

Basketball is a game of MATCHUPS. The 2009 Lakers match up well with this Warriors team because they have a front line that can exploit the Warriors only real weakness.

You would be right except I think the Warriors could shoot them out of the gym just trading 2 for 3.

 

[Supreme365]

Kobe would avg. 50

When has Kobe ever averaged 50 in a series

 

[Supreme365]

We got a smart man here.

2009 Lakers are actually perfectly built to beat the Warriors. And Lamar Odom is the key. He's the Warriors worst nightmare. A stretch 4 with the athleticism to guard the perimeter when they go super small as well as being good enough with his back to the basket to play in the post. Warriors secret weapon is going small with Draymond at the 5 and KD at the 4. Lamar would be able to guard KD on defense and then take him into the post on offense. Literally no other 4 in the NBA right now can do that.

Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol would tilt the series for the Lakers. And then there is Kobe in the 4th quarter who is still the best player in the world.

Lakers would win in 6.

I thought he tore his Achilles vs Atlanta either way the warriors take it

never change Kobrehs

God i hate stans

 

[NoMorePie]

you idiots believe anything the media tells you.

2008 Celtics destroy them. 2001 Lakers destroy them. 1996 Bulls obviously annihilate them.

Those are the 3 best teams of the last 25 years.

*4

The '09 Lakers my favorite team of all-time but they losing in 5-6 to these Warriors without a doubt.
