Good morning. It's time to get up.

With the concern in New England after Drake May's shaky playoffs, should the Patriots already be worried about next season.

Meanwhile, two massive decisions in the NFC East.

What should be next for Pickens in Dallas and A.J. Brown in Philly?

And are the Lakers ready for a championship run? Don't ask LeBron.

The King's blunt message on where L.A. stands among the powers of the West. That and more here on Get Up.

The crowd is with us. Let's ready to go. McCordie. Graziano, back from San Francisco, Monoica, McNutt, like usual, showing up three seconds before we start. Do you live here in New York now? Do you live here? Have you gone home? It's my second home. All right. All right. Somebody's been a New York guy at heart. Ready to go to work? You've got to work. Oh, wait. I almost forgot the big fellow. Oh, there he is. Pretty in the face, slim in the waist. Kendrick Perkins here as well. Let's get the business in the association. Game of the night. The King, LeBron James and the Lakers, hosting the Thunder. No Shea Gilgius Alexander, no Luca Donch. Second quarter, Lakers up six. Here we go the other way. LeBron might want to put a body out there. Business decisions everywhere. James with eight points in the first half. Throw it down one time. Who says you can't be agile and mobile at 40 plus? Okay, there we go. Thunder trailing by one. Here's Isaiah Joe driving to the rack. He's going to miss the layup. IH, boom, converts. Thunder by one. A few minutes later, same score. Thunder with the Rock. Here's Jalen Williams cutting. Off the glass, sweet kiss. Thunder up by three. This one's getting away from the Lakers a little bit. Under two minutes now, the king taken over.

Now watch Chet Holmgren here.

Get the body in front.

Or stay to the side.

It's a long season.

You ain't trying to get posted.

I don't act like that.

It's easy for my position.

It's very easy from my position.

I have no problem handing out the criticisms.

Here's Galen Williams getting inside. The fall away over Austin Reeves. Williams game high 23 points. Thunder hold on

to win by nine. Following the game, LeBron James asked about the differences between the Thunder

and Lakers. Where do you see the gaps between like where they're at and things they do well consistently versus like kind of the build that you guys are trying to put together?

Do you want me to compare us to them?

No, I want to know where you think of that like sort of as this team is on.

That's a championship team right there. We're not.
