I’m not sure what to write on the heels of the Silver and Black handing the Thunder a 20-point loss. Is it odd that the league scheduled a set of back-to-back games against the Thunder, especially since the intention was obviously to make Spurs v. Thunder a marquee Christmas event? Yes, yes it is.

The West’s three other best teams all boast prolific All-Stars at the position, so at least the playoffs might be a bit more interesting than Oklahoma City’s regular-season run for 70-plus wins. ...
