Prisoners of the moment? Recency bias? Small sample size overreaction? Through the first 33 games of the season the Oklahoma City Thunder are now good again with a record of 23-10, which ties them for 4th in the NBA with the Philadelphia 76ers. The Celtics at 26-7 remain in the top spot. As good as the Thunder looked on Tuesday, here's my issue: It's a regular season game in the winter. I rememeber a few years back when the Thunder were tanking they beat the heavily favored Thunder in Oklahoma City.
Shoot the Pistons almost beat the Celtics recently.
