They have a leader in Shea, one of the best players in the world, if not the best player in the world.

And the only thing that Lakers have a chance because Jalen Williams is out.

But Bron, he always gives you a chance.

And now you have Austin Reeves back.

And they're also playing together as a collective.

That's the reason why everybody counted them out against Houston.

But that's the reason why they beat Houston, because guys like Marcus Smart, Luke Kennard stepping up and toward the end of the season that last month.

They really came together and bonded defensively, offensively.

And they're used to playing without guys because all year long they've had Austin out, Luka out, and Bron out.

So they know what it's like, what it takes, and who needs to step up when one of those guys goes down.

So it's going to be a fun series.

Still give the edge OKC.

See, I'm not biased.

I'm a Laker, but I'm going to give the edge to OKC.

And I think this probably goes, you know, I like to see it go six games.

They are vulnerable.

They were head and shoulders to start the season.

They started off like 24-1, but since then, you know, there's another team that they're not playing right now out west that kind of had their number.

But they've shown some vulnerability.

But toward the end of the season, Shea has just been on a tear, even without J-Dub.
