The OKC Thunder currently sits at 37-23 and was in fifth place but fall back to sixth following Friday action in the wild Western Conference.
A year ago, when the team was playing their best basketball, the OKC Thunder turned in a 38-23 record. That mark was good enough for third in a much weaker Western Conference. We all know how that season ended. The team slipped to sixth in the west and was bounced in the first round for the third straight year.
However, at this time last year, with the same record, we all had high hopes for the OKC Thunder.
