The Oklahoma City Thunder have had a more than decent start of the season with 10 wins and 2 losses in the first dozen games. Even though they lost last year’s conference final 4-1 to the Dallas Mavericks, the team showed tremendous strength and togetherness. After 2 preseason wins against the Mavericks, the Thunder did not disappoint the fans that bought Thunder tickets for this season opener against the Orlando Magic. They won that game 97 to 89 with Kevin Durant outshining just about everyone else on the court. Sure, the Magic players couldn’t have been in the perfect mindset, with their star player Dwight Howard demanding a trade, but a win is a win. Make sure you are there for the next time they win, buy your Oklahoma City Thunder tickets now!
In the 4 games that followed, the Thunder were able to win against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Memphis Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns. Durant was stunning during the first 4 games as he managed over 30 points in each and completed his first double-double against the Mavericks. He would only need to score 30 points in the next game to tie the legendary Michael Jordan record of scoring 30 or more points in the first 5 games. Be sure you have your Thunder tickets ready for that event! Unfortunately, Durant couldn’t keep things going in the 5th game and only managed 12 points against the Suns. The Suns couldn’t cope with Durant, Westbrook, Cook and all the other players together, as Oklahoma showed awesome team spirit and won 107 to 97. So far, the Oklahoma City Thunder were having their best start of the season since 1998. Join them at their next game by purchasing your Thunder tickets now! The team is poised to continue shattering records and putting on a great show.
The second game the Thunder faced off against the Mavericks didn’t go so well. They were completely outplayed both offensively and defensively by the Mavericks, as they made full use of home court advantage. The final result was 100-87 and the first flaws in their play started to become visible. Next, the Portland Trail Blazers came to visit the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City. That’s when the Thunder showed some real flaws, as LaMarcus Aldridge and his team showed why they were currently at the top of the Western conference. Oklahoma made a complete mess of it and lost 103 to 93. Fans started wondering if expectation were to high to buy Thunder tickets based on the first 5 games.
But the character of the Thunder players was made evident in the 2 games against Houston. Durant started to shine again and the team kept it together against one of the favorites at the start of this season. With the moral back on the high side, the Thunder managed 3 more consecutive wins against San Antonio Spurs, Memphis Grizzlies and the New Orleans Hornets. We could only hope that this wining streak would continue and Thunder tickets would sell out. However, with the Spurs not looking as dangerous as they did last season, none of these wins were unexpected. Nevertheless, with a 10-2 record and having scored more than 100 points in 6 games so far, the Thunder looks as menacing as ever. The Knicks come to visit this Saturday and it’s going to be an amazing contest. With Carmelo Anthony looking like a true superstar, the Thunder will need to find a way to keep it together. If they can do it this weekend and against Boston on Monday, the Thunder will benefit from a relatively less stressful run of fixtures. As long as the defense will hold, there is no reason to think that the Thunder won’t be able to reach the play-offs from 1st place.
