As the OKC Thunder players prepare to begin the franchise’s 14th season the fans are excited to return to watch them live. While the name of the facility is new (the Paycom Center) so is the focus for the season.
Throughout the history of the franchise, the team has only ever suffered three campaigns that didn’t result in a postseason trip. The inaugural season of 2008-09 resulted in a 23-59 finish. Despite posting a winning record of 45-37 in 2014-15 OKC missed the playoffs. Finally, last season 2020-21 was the only other occasion the team failed to reach the postseason.
