It has been a polarizing first two games of the season for the Lakers. Coming off their rousing opening-night, 116-103 victory over the Clippers, they suffered an embarrassing 125-94 loss to Golden State on Wednesday.

“We probably got up too high,” Coach Mike D’Antoni said after Wednesday’s loss. “We’ve just got to get better in all areas and get our emotions under control. It’s not overconfidence. You come out so hyped up the night before that your body responds by being down.”

Said Pau Gasol: “We didn’t really create any energy for ourselves, there was no communication and on a back-to-back, you’ve just got to do that. If we’re not at the top of our game defensively and offensively, we’re going to get beat. And badly.”

So, which version of the Lakers do you expect to see more often this season, the team that defeated the Clippers or the team that lost to the Warriors? Vote in our poll and let us know.
