The Golden State Warriors are giving a tour of the Chase Center on Monday, and the new scoreboard is already trolling the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Chase Center, which is roughly 11 miles from Oracle Arena, will boast the NBA’s largest scoreboard. While media members were touring the new stadium on Monday, they got a sneak peak at the scoreboard and saw what it will look like after games are over.
That's where the Warriors decided it would be fun to poke fun at the Lakers. Take a look:

The Warriors host the Lakers in preseason to open the Chase Center on Oct. 5.
It's very doubtful that score will ever come to fruition now that the Lakers have Anthony Davis next to LeBron James. The Warriors lost Kevin Durant in free agency this summer and will be without Klay Thompson for a big chunk of next season as he recovers from an ACL tear, so the Lakers will probably be better than the Dubs next season.
The Warriors’ new stadium will seat more than 18,000 people and not only be home to the Dubs, but also concerts and other events. The main attraction, though, will be the Warriors, who are looking to prove critics wrong next season. Many believe the Dubs will struggle to make the playoffs in 2019-20 since Durant is gone and Thompson is injured.
All-Stars Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and D'Angelo Russell will have to play at a high level every single night for the Warriors to compete in the rugged Western Conference.
