On Wednesday evening, the Golden State Warriors stumbled out of the gates with an ugly loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on the road on opening night. The Warriors managed to stick around in the first half of this one, but ultimately fell apart in the third quarter and ended up losing by a final score of 127-105.
Golden State Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg caused a stir with his comments towards Luka Doncic on and off the court. Many NBA players have learned the hard way, ‘don’t make Luka Doncic angry’.
Throughout NBA history, only 40 players have scored 60 or more points during an NBA regular-season game. How many of the 40 can you name in six minutes?
Stephen A. Smith backed Yaxel Lendeborg for challenging Luka Doncic and criticizing his complaints to officials, arguing that the Warriors rookie should be encouraged to compete without fearing a superstar’s reputation.
Who is the X factor for every NBA player this season? We’re not talking about the go-to guy, like Nikola Jokic or Steph Curry. It could be a big-name player, an all-star, or a bench player, but they are the pivot point for their team.
Remember when Stephen Curry got up from his chair because he couldn’t believe people were picking the Warriors to miss the playoffs? Well, I wonder what he’s thinking now, because I don’t think even he expected things to get this bad with Kristaps Porzingis before the season even started.
The Golden State Warriors suffered a debilitating season-opening defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers, 127-105. The Warriors have already faced injury misfortune to start the season.

Yaxel Lendeborg got slapped with a technical foul in his first-ever NBA regular-season game for trying to get under the skin of Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic.
The Golden State Warriors signed Kristaps Porzingis to an extension this summer that made him immediately eligible to be traded. Figuring out a trade for the absent big man is going to be difficult.
Kristaps Porzingis’s future with the Golden State Warriors appears to be up in the air, as does his future in the NBA. On Wednesday, ESPN’s Shams Charania said Porzingis is “contemplating his future” due to symptoms of an autoimmune condition termed POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome).
Golden State is heading into opening night with more questions than answers. The Warriors are already without Jimmy Butler, Kristaps Porzingis, and Moses Moody, leaving Steve Kerr with limited options as the team prepares for its season opener.
Brandin Podziemski is expected to be a starter who plays heavy minutes for the Golden State Warriors this season. But Podz will miss the season opener against the Lakers on Wednesday with lower back soreness.
