How Can the LA Pressure Oklahoma City? A Lakers-Thunder Preview

Look, everyone knows the deal, here. The Thunder are massive favorites to beat the Lakers in the second round of the NBA Playoffs. And they should be! But what can the Lakers do to try and push OKC? To make it a longer series than expected, and maybe -- just maybe... -- turn it into something shocking? We unpack the series with Rylan Styles, host of Locked On Thunder. Now unlike our conversations with Jackson Gatlin, of "cakewalk" fame, Rylan has every reason to believe the Thunder should make this an easy series, given that the Lakers don't have Luka Doncic and the Thunder beat the snot out of LA multiple times this season. But where are they at least a little vulnerable? Where could the Lakers try to press even small advantages? How does Rylan believe they'll try to defend LeBron and Austin Reaves? Where will they try to press their advantages over the Lakers? We have lots of questions! And while his answers won't leave Lakers fans feeling better about the team's chances, they're still pretty informative! HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky (with guest, Rylan Styles!!!)
