Here’s How the Lakers Will DESTROY OKC in the Playoffs
The Lakers have been playing their best basketball in years, but there’s still one team that remains on top – the thunder. Not to worry though, in this video I break down exactly how the Lakers can destroy them in the playoffs!

Sont forget Rui and AR15 when they come back
Who woke up this morning feeling lit about the Lakers 🔥🔥🔥
Lakers are probably the only team that can switch 1-5 because of how great their help defense is. I also don’t worry with Hayes on a guard cuz he’s shown to be able to handle his own on the perimeter and even getting blocks.
Very good breakdown. Subbed.
The West landscape has changed.
Luka to the Lakers
Butler to the Warriors
AD to the Mavs
Wemby season ending injury
D' Aaron Fox to the Spurs
Lavin to the Kings
Since that trade, i believe that the Lakers are the best team in the West, if not on par with the Thunder. The Warriors are not so far.
My point is the follow : we need the two next months to give an clearer opinion about the West.
Can the Lakers sustain that energy? If yes, the NBA is in big trouble.
Totally wrong on this. No one will destroy OKC, if they lose, it will be because they got away from their game plan. The Lakers is my favorite team since the early 80's since I'm from Cali but now I have lived in OKC for over 30 years now and have watched them since the beginning and they have been my 2nd favorite team. Time will tell on what will happen but it's a win, win if they play each other in the playoffs but I don't think they will.
if OKC hits 3's they win. If they don't, the Lakers will shut down SGA for the most part and they will win. When I say shut down I mean low to mid 20 points.
okc are still very young as well and i think born and luka can/will take advantage of that. another thing is our small ball is one of the best so it will play one of chet or ihart off the floor
You have the best defense in the league plus the 2nd highest playoff scorer of all time in terms of average points plus the highest regular season scorer of all time and the highest playoff scorer of all time in overall points and two of the most complete basketball players of all time in Luka and LeBron…plus one of the most analytical and highest IQ coaches in the league in JJ Reddick
Unless the refs give Shai Free Throw Alexander 20 FTs a game, OKC is cooked.
the lack of a big man argument is getting kind of ridiculous. Jokic, KAT, Zubac are all bigs that they've recently shut down with Hayes and Jemison as our bigs.
Okc and the rest of the young teams r extremely wet between the ears they will crumble under pressure like a deer in headlights 👀
The only team I think the Lakers will have issues with is the nuggets
JJ is legitimately an elite coach, I genuinely believe he is our next Pat Reiley. From announcer to head coach it was meant to be.
RUN DMC, CARDI B, NBC….LAKERS IN 5!!!
FINALLY. Someone who gets it. People are acting like the Thunder have done something. SGA will be the THIRD best player in a Lakers-Thunder matchup.
Lou Dort will make it his business to injure Luka if someone doesn't check him first. I'm dead serious the guy is good but he is also dirty.
The lakers are the most connected team in the NBA? And you also said that you believe in jj reddick after just 3 weeks getting hired? This team hasn’t proven anything and that’s an understatement, but it’s gonna show when the playoffs get here.
Jj redick deserves couch of the year in his rookie season? Impressive work Lakers used to be a not even a team
Lebron (23) + Luka (77) = 100%
I agree! Just walk down the roster and consider matchups. The Lakers have the size to give them fits all over the court on both sides of the ball.
I also think that JJ will be the coach who really knows what to do on the court with his Lakers on both sides and we have 2 super stars with HIGH IQ👈 They will be a nightmare…mark my words
Bro..everyone is sleeping on Reaves. Dude can handle his own..and now that everyone will be watching Bron n Luka. Reaves is going to be able to take advantage of it..get to the foul line. Then that’ll open it up for more ppl.
Screen and switch Shai onto Lebron have Lebron abuse Shai and force him to play defense!! His legs will give in on the offensive end!
OKC KFC NFC UFC AFC Lakers in 5!
You cant stop SGA from scoring but you can slow him down. But whos stopping the 3 headed monster in the Lakers big 3 ?
Anyway im already excited for this year's playoffs
Just put LeBron as the weak defender then boom. He can make shai shoot tougher shots or even block in low post. You have luka, ar, vando, rui who can intercept passes if shai passes. Then LeBron can also do that as well. On defense, lakers will either make them shoot tougher shots, get blocked or get intercepted. On offense, lakers has so many options, luka and lebron on 20 level offense, AR as the third option. Rui for bully ball. Then everyone else that can snipe
Bro, this Trap defence is done to perfection. I think that's why they stopped searching for a big man. They can maximize the perimeter defence and Trap the entire game.
one game at a time.
Lakers is a new team now with 2 elite star.plus reaves and hachimura.then you add 2 defender with vando and smith.and the rest 2nd unit.okc and the rest of nba team should be ready.
No one fears the the Thunder 😂😂😂
We watched OKC last year in the playoffs right?
I wish there was a way to comment on how dumb this video is without giving a click.
If the lakers can contain Shai, Chet and Hartenstein then they have a chance.
DEFENSE IS BACK
Bull…
I LIKE YOUR PREDICTION BRO !! LES GOOO LAKERS 🏆
It’s all about the 3 🏀 The battle under the basket isn’t predominant anymore-it ended with the Hack-a-Shaq. You win games with size and speed, slashing to the basket to rebound and score on the long ball. Golden State’s Curry and Green’s dynamic is an example of this. Curry’s 3🏀 and Green’s defense speed who gets assists and cleans up any missed opportunities.
I seriously want luka to go off. The amount of people i'm seeing these days underestimating him is insane.
if it comes down to Lakers and thunde to the final i cant watch it 😥😂😂to damn nervous lol
This video is from a bias lakers fan…. Nothing after that matters
