I saw some silly chatter on Twitter this past weekend in relation to Adam Silver’s recent comments about tanking. The Tweeter in question specifically disparaged the idea that Silver would somehow limit what the Golden State Warriors have built “instead of addressing whatever the hell” the Oklahoma City Thunder are doing.
He called it nuts; the replies were mixed, with some questioning why the Thunder consistently find themselves scapegoated, while others defended OKC’s approach based on their through-the-draft approach to team building.
That tweet was sent on Oct. 28, three nights after the Thunder beat the Los Angeles Clippers, 108-94, and less than 24 hours after they beat them again, 118-110.
