The five-game OKC Thunder Western road trip has served to remind fans of the big picture. While the team jumped out to an impressive start this is more typical of a team aiming to land a top draft pick this coming offseason.
One carry-over of the winning streak to start the season is this team is fun to watch. In a bit of a catch 22, that’s oddly still the case in ousts. Typically, watching matches where your favorite is getting routed is torture.
