If there is one thing Monty Python taught me, it’s to always look on the bright side of life. Well, that and how to spot a witch. (You guys know what Monty Python is, right? Tell me I’m not that old.)

The Oklahoma City Thunder lost to the Brooklyn Nets (with a record of 11-33 at the time) on Sunday night, and needed overtime to beat the Carmelo Anthony-less New York Knickerbockers on Tuesday night. Things aren’t exactly peachy in Oklahoma City, but with the length of the NBA season, lulls are to be expected.

Instead of focusing on the negative, fans of the team should be aware of the positives surrounding the team, which isn’t exceedingly difficult considering Oklahoma City has the third best winning percentage in the league, two stars that have the capability to produce highlight after highlight and a stable of relatively young players that have shown improvement this season.
