A guy called the office Wednesday, wanting to know when the Thunder was going to start playing real teams. Usually, I’d point out to such a query that there are no Central Arkansaws and Lamars on an NBA schedule, other than the ridiculous 76ers. Every team you play is capable of beating you. Literally.
But this guy is a regular caller who is reality-challenged. He’s about 62 percent all there. So we don’t try to straighten him. We just humor him.
I told him the Thunder was playing the Cavs on Thursday night, so his wait would be short.
