Is this a home game for the Lakers?

Why are the fans at the Oracle Arena, cheering for the Lakers?? That's ridiculous...

Update:

I just heard MVP chants for Kobe......WOW

    The Lakers are one of the most popular teams on the road. Another reason why there so hated.

    The Lakers have a huge fan base nationwide (Kobe gets MVP chants at Madison Square Garden), so a lot of them show up at Warriors games when they play each other. However, Golden State has some of the most passionate fans in the league, and you can believe there are many more Warriors fans than Lakers fans at the game tonight.

    No one knows...

    But there are enough Laker fans (at least 20%) while rest are Warrior fans...

    At the end here, I could hear some Let's Go Lakers chants but they had some BEAT LA chants earlier...

    Now there's MVP chants but from the Laker fans that's there since all the Warrior fans are leaving...

    Cause its in california and most of california are lakers fans i would expect some chanting for lakers its pretty obvious.

    Not a home game but close enough. Especially if you got a good team then you'll have fans everywhere.

    I'd be pissed if I was there at a home game and the crowd was cheering for the away team.

    "MVP! MVP!"....wtf?

    There are tons of LA transplants in the Bay Area (can you blame them?), plus there are people that are frontrunners. The W's haven't won much the last decade, so some people grow up rooting for the Lakers. It's kind of like an infestation problem. We need to call an exterminator.

    It's pretty close to LA. Plus you have Kobe fans all over this Country, more so in the bay area.
