The OKC Thunder embark on year two of their rebuild, this time, the season will look more normal. Fans will be in the stands, the offseason is somewhat normal though still the second shortest in league history, and the league will return to their 82-game format.
However, this season will look extremely different to Oklahoma City fans who have only seen two losing seasons in Bricktown, and might not have even checked in on last year’s squad with all that was going on in the world.
The team missed the postseason for just the third time in OKC history and is starring down the barrel of a fourth, their first time missing out on the postseason in back-to-back seasons.
