I realize any positive post about the Thunder may be frowned on by some OU fans, but this Thunder team is not only fun to watch, they’re the closest thing I have ever seen to a college team.
After starting the season several games under five hundred and predicted to finish at or near the bottom of the Western Division, the Thunder are now in fifth place with a 40-24 record following a third straight win on the road last night, this time over the Boston Celtics. Fifth place is also 1/2 game ahead of the Houston Rockets, former OKC players Russell Westbrook and James Harden’s current team.
The Thunder came from 18 down to beat the Celtics last night. That was just one of a number of come-from-behind wins for this team. They play so hard and with such great team chemistry they’re never out of a game.
Thirty-four year old Chris Paul is the closest thing to a super star. The Thunder is a team of good players who not only understand and embrace their roles, they play for each other. In a day when the current NBA trend is for players to recruit their own collection of super stars, I think the OKC Thunder is a breath of fresh air. Hate on me if you want, but I really like Thunder basketball!
