OKC Thunder: 6 Must watch matchups for 2021-22 Thunder season
By Rylan Stiles
The NBA announced their schedule for the league’s 75th season. As the OKC Thunder embark on their 14th season in Bricktown, there are some must-watch games with this upstart squad.
The Oklahoma City Thunder season will start back up on October 20th, as we outlined in the key dates piece recently, and I could not be any more excited. As a basketball junkie, any time without basketball is a struggle, so I welcome its early return.
Especially the return to an 82-game format. Now? with 82 regular season tilts plus a play-in tournament in each conference, we are going to settle in for more NBA basketball than ever before.
Must watch OKC Thunder matchups
We get it, you are busy. Family, work, school, hobbies, activities, social life, spending time watching other sports, the path to captivate your attention in 2021-22 is a difficult journey.
That becomes harder as you stare down the barrel of what looks to be another losing season in Bricktown. So while you should stay tuned to Thunderous Intentions for all your gameday coverage, including games you miss, we understand it is unreasonable to ask most fans to follow all 82 games every year.
That is why we are here! As you look ahead to your fall, winter, and spring events, which OKC Thunder games should you carve out time for? What are some can’t miss tilts on the slate either back in the arena for the first time since March of 2020, or just keeping your eyes glued to Bally Sports Oklahoma?
This season has everything from high-profile debuts, homecomings, warm welcomes, important draft pick battles and great storylines. While it will likely not be littered with wins, this will still be a fun season to follow along with as OKC Thunder fans.
Let’s get into the must-watch contests of the 2021-22 NBA season for the OKC Thunder.
