Rejoice Thunder Nation!!! No more panicking to your coworkers at lunch, no more sleepless nights, no more binge-reading potential Lottery-pick profiles. We can breathe again – the OKC Thunder aren’t missing the Playoffs.
Last night’s victory secured Oklahoma City’s eighth Playoff appearance in the last nine years. Only one team (the San Antonio Spurs and there 21 season streak) has more in that time. New Orleans and San Antonio also won last night, keeping the Thunder in the 7th seed for at least two more days. As we’re soon about to find out, that likely won’t be the outcome.
