While the OKC Thunder fan base knows their team won’t likely earn a playoff berth and are in the ‘reposition and replenish’ mode (aka rebuild) Thunder Nation is getting the best of both worlds. In nine of the 11 games played the squad brought the effort to the hardwood and pushed teams right to the final buzzer to decide the victor.
Granted, we’ll want to see some of these games ending up with W’s. It doesn’t mean we’re being delusional with expectations of the Thunder pushing for a playoff berth.
Rather, it’s something equally important and this is for the young core to learn what it takes to win those tough matches to utilize in the future.
