With teams now entering the final third of the season the OKC Thunder seem to finally have figured out how to lose.

This past week witnessed two of the most lopsided losses in franchise history. Former Thunder captain Chris Paul and his new squad the Phoenix Suns toasted OKC 103-140. Next, the club lost to Damian Lillard and his Blazers in arguably worse fashion dropping an 85-133 match.

With Al Horford shut down for the season the team in entering new territory when it comes to how franchises handle veterans as some pundits note in this week’s Thunder excerpt.
