GAME NIGHT: What STOPS Thunder From Repeating | Nuggets, Rockets Or Clippers The SECOND-BEST Team In West?

Thunder reign supreme in the West, but can they repeat? The OKC Thunder's young core, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, faces stiff competition in a loaded conference.

Hosts Jackson Gatlin (@Locked On Rockets) and David Ramil (@Locked On Heat) power rank the top-5 teams in the Western Conference, debating potential challengers to the Thunder's throne. From the Denver Nuggets' playoff prowess to the LA Clippers' roster upgrades, every contender gets put under the microscope. The hosts also explore the Houston Rockets' defensive potential and Kevin Durant's impact, while weighing the Golden State Warriors' chances without Kevon Looney.

Tune in for expert analysis on how recent moves by the Lakers, including additions like Deandre Ayton and Marcus Smart, could reshape the West's power structure.
