Game preview: OKC Thunder open season seeking to play spoiler on ring night

Welcome to opening night Thunder Nation! As the OKC Thunder prepare to launch their 2018-19 campaign numbers are on my mind. It’s been 172 days since the Thunder finished their season via a quick first round exit. Yet, simple numbers like two and three are resonating with me.

Simple numbers on my mind:

For example, we’re two seasons removed from Kevin Durant‘s departure. In those two campaigns Durant has won two championships and collected two Final’s MVP awards. Consequently, the Thunder were also been bounced in the first round in those same two seasons. Extrapolating the two and three into triple-double form, Russell Westbrook made history becoming the only player in NBA history to record back to back seasons with triple-double averages.
