I don’t think the Thunder wants to be anywhere near winning a game, but I absolutely think they’ll end up keeping this one to single digits anyway. The Clippers are resting Paul George, Reggie Jackson, and Norman Powell, so I don’t really expect a blowout to cap off the regular season. Picking OKC to cover seems like a safe bet.

It’s been a long season of tanking, but the Oklahoma City Thunder wraps up the regular season tonight as they take on the Los Angeles Clippers on the road. The Thunder was knocked out of the playoffs weeks ago, while the Clippers have cemented their spot at 8th place in the West, where they will take on the 7th place Minnesota Timberwolves. Essentially, tonight’s game doesn’t mean much.

Mike Muscala took the inbounds pass for OKC, and he immediately found Shai, who found himself in a similar spot as Wednesday evening. This time, however, the Thunder trailed by just two, so when he side-stepped his defender and put up the three-point attempt, it was a Thunder victory as the ball sank through the net.

The Thunder and the Clippers have had a plethora of close games over the years, and tonight should be no different. In the first matchup a month and a half ago, the Thunder lost to the Clippers by 5 in Los Angeles. I anticipate this one will be yet another tight one that goes down to the wire.

Truthfully, it’s impossible to have confidence in Oklahoma City right now. The Thunder upset the Lakers at home two games ago and then went on the road and dropped an egg at Golden State. OKC has been abysmal on the road this season, averaging just 86.3 points per game, and until they can prove that something has changed you’d be taking a huge risk in banking on them. There’s a reason why the Thunder are 0-3 against the spread in road games this season and despite LA’s sluggish start it’s hard to imagine anything but 0-4 right now.

Now, as the Thunder begins their 14th season, I am finally a season-ticket holder. The Thunder hasn’t had fans in the building since March of 2019, and I for one could not be more excited. Yes, it’s almost guaranteed to be another tank season, and I’m more likely to be in the building for a loss than a win, but I’m still pumped. The NBA announced the full schedule for the 2021-22 season Friday afternoon, so without further ado, here are the 10 games that I’m looking forward to attending the most (in chronological order):

The Oklahoma City Thunder played the Los Angeles Clippers just two days ago, and the start of the second matchup looked eerily similar to the first one. The offense could not buy a bucket from downtown, going 0-for-9 from three, and the defense couldn’t come up with any real stops as LA jumped out to an early 17-point lead.

The Oklahoma City Thunder (44-28) did not finish out their final seeding game in the manner that they would have liked as they came up short in overtime to lose 107-103 to the Los Angeles Clippers (49-23). Both teams gave heavy minutes to their benches as key players got some rest ahead of the playoffs, and in spite of the loss, the Thunder looks to be ready to kick off Round 1 next week.
