Well, Thunder Nation, this is the moment all OKC Thunder fans have been waiting for. Sure, there were moments of angst this season, but the end justified the means.
A bit of luck worked in OKC’s favor on the final game of the season, resulting in the squad nailing down a home court seed. The Thunder avoid the two parties all Western Conference teams were running from (Rockets/Warriors). In round one, the goal is to get their playoff legs, finish the series quickly, and move on to the semi-finals.
Ah, and this is where the situation isn’t quite as simple.
