8. Oklahoma City Thunder (33-26)
Every time it feels – and looks – like the Oklahoma City Thunder are beginning to turn their season around and hit their stride, they turn around end fall into another little setback.
And if the Thunder haven’t figured it out by now, it’s looking more and more like this is going to be their narrative for the remainder of the season. The good news for OKC, though, is the fact that they’re built for the playoffs.
The grind of the regular season may not be the best thing for them, but this is a team that looks tailor made for the playoffs. They’ll be a tough out.
