In my mind, this is the dipstick game.
Welcome to Loud City - Thunder SBN site - good people, good times.
There are only two teams in the Western conference who have won at least 8 of their last 10 games. Guess which two?

Keys To The Game
|
Strength of ScheduleWe are crawling in on a SEGABABA. Not good. OKC beat the Knicks way more handily than we did on Sunday, and have another day off before heading to Dallas on Friday. Last Time They MetThe first time we met they dropped a 101-98 loss on us in SA. |
