Right now Hollinger has the Thunder’s playoff odds at a solid 82.5 percent. Remember though, that’s as of RIGHT NOW. That could change drastically with a five-game losing streak. Right now though, he puts OKC’s NBA Finals chances at 8.8 percent, which is right where Utah, Houston and Miami sit. The Thunder has a 4.9 percent chance to win it all. I just peed a little.
via Playoffs? Yes, playoffs. Or so says John Hollinger | Daily Thunder.com.
And here we see something pretty cool. I understand the allure of history and tradition and sappy violin music, but I think this is pretty awesome. You have a whole new fanbase on the verge of a new accomplishment. A young roster filled with likeable players that work really hard, and they’re within a very far-off sight of every expansion franchise’s promised land. I hope they get there.
Mostly because if they win 46 games Zach and Jared are buying me a cake. And just to mess with Harper I’m going to make it a Greg Oden cake.

What? I haven’t made a single joke about it! I get one! Just one!

Too soon? Nahhhh.

So noted.
