January 4: OKC at Portland Trail Blazers

While on the conversation of rivalries, it would be a disservice to not talk about the beef between the Thunder and the Portland Trail Blazers.

For both the Thunder and the Trail Blazers, welcoming the visiting team is anything but nice. In Portland the Thunder are constantly yelled at for most of the game and as for OKC, Loud City has a perfect fit. Tensions are high between the two teams and with the Thunder losing last years series 0-4, it only adds fuel to the flames. That, and a scuffle during their final game of the season.

Let’s face it, with last years record against the Trail Blazers the odds seem as if they are against OKC. Especially with the acquisition of Seth Curry, Portland still maintains a dominant appearance in the Western Conference. While it may be difficult for the Thunder to take a win against Portland, it will be one of the best series of the season.
