The NBA playoffs tipped off yesterday and while it was fun getting to witness that type of action it was also a bit depressing not to see our OKC Thunder in the mix. It served as a reminder of how special this time of year is in the sport and the copious memories Thunder Nation has in the memory bank.
With so many former OKC players participating it was easy to fall into the habit of pulling for the team with the past Thunder star.
