So much for predictions right? The oddsmakers placed the OKC Thunder at the bottom of the ladder entering NBA Summer League. Mind you the team will need to continue performing, but so far they’ve surpassed expectations.
This stage of the tournament raises the stakes precisely like the regular season into the playoffs do with the varsity squads. And, this is also the point where teams can surprise by stepping up their games and effort. Case in point, the same Toronto Raptors (0-3) who the OKC Thunder beat this past week took out the 3-0 Nuggets in the tournament round.
