The Warriors vs Lakers live stream is here, and it resets the clock on two of the west's titans that failed to thrive in the previous post-season. Heck, the Warriors didn't even make it to the playoffs. But they won't have a hard time remembering who knocked them out, at least in this NBA live stream.

The Lakers are favored by 3.5 points and the over under is 228. 

A rematch of the Western Conference play-in tournament game, this battle of LeBron James' Lakers and Steph Curry's Warriors features a lot of rejuvenated faces and some in uniforms they didn't wear last season. So, hopefully, there will be no excuses about people being at their best.

As for those new faces, LA's quest for another title meant the acquisitions of Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony during the post-season. With these additions, plus a returning Rajon Rondo and Dwight Howard, the Lakers should content. And while the preseason doesn't really matter, we're curious how these new stars will fit into James' team when they they've lost their last four warmup games (two L's to the Warriors, and one a piece to the Suns and Kings). 

But that wasn't the end of LA's shopping spree. Just in time for the season opener, the Lakers reportedly claimed Avery Bradley (who Golden State waived in the same day). Oh, and the Lake Show picked up Jay Huff, four days after the Wizards waived him.
