I haven't heard the Lakers acting arrogantly when it comes to Minnesota. Yes, LA frequently calls out Sacramento, because of the history those teams have. Perhaps the Lakers fans have shown a bit of misguided pride when it comes to the team, but after 3 straight titles, it's tough to NOT feel good about the team you follow.
As a Lakers fan (From the days when Jamal Wilkes patrolled the lane), I am confident that the team will come up big when they have to.
Losing Fox isn't a bonus, no team could consider losing a player a plus, but it's not the end of the world. If this is enough to keep Lakers-haters happy, enjoy your happiness. We'll know more after this week.
