Pre-Game Ramble: Lakers vs. Warriors

Hello Laker Fans, this game should be an exciting one, but not particularly because of the opposing teams prowess. In fact the Lakers lead their season series wth the Warriors 3-0, last year 4-0, & 3-1 the year before. The Lakers have not lost a series season with the Warriors since the 94-95 season. The Lakers are 12-1 overall against the Warriors and have won the last 7 in a row! They are 14-1 overall at Staples and have won the last 7 at home.
So, if its not the incredible match up, then what's generating the magic in the air at Staples?
