It’s felt weird not having the Thunder in the playoffs. As a fanbase, we’ve been spoiled, with the last time they missed the playoffs being the 2014-15 season. But we have a good feeling it won’t be long before we’ll see them there again.
Top Tweets of the week:
Good news: Thunder win the coin flip vs the Cavs and have the #4 draft slot.

The lottery odds are still split evenly at 45.1%.
But now the farthest OKC can fall is #8, and that’s only a 2.2% chance.
OKC also now has a 5% higher chance of the 5th pick.

First up, we have this tweet regarding the NBA Draft and where OKC is projected to fall. It was announced this week that they won the coin toss against the Cleveland Cavaliers, meaning they have the fourth-best odds to win the lottery.
This is great news with their priority being to build through the draft.

This next tweet is a comment from a Thunder fan which I definitely agree with. And I’m sure many other fans will too.
Now, as we get to watch the postseason without OKC, it’s interesting to think about the potential for the team to have gone further without the unfortunate run of injuries.
Despite being a young squad that hadn’t been together for long, it was evident there was chemistry and they had the drive and passion to go far.

Last but not least, we have this tweet from Aleksej Pokusevski, which he posted on his Instagram story. And I’m not sure about you, but thinking about two Poku’s on one team… wow!
How epic would that be?
That wraps it up for this week. But before you go, here is an intriguing read from our Mark Nilon on 3 players worth trading draft capital for this offseason.
Stay safe, stay well, and have an amazing week Thunder fans!
