The Oklahoma City Thunder is one of the teams that people are looking out for this upcoming season. One of the many reasons to watch out for them is because they are on the verge of a breakthrough. This team has done so much last season that are poised to do even better this season because they have the same young players. A lot of fans were disappointed when they lost against the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals but the team is ready to bounce back. Many have anticipated a good season this year and have already bought their Thunder tickets
In an interview with Kevin Durant, he said that the team is excited for the upcoming season and that they now know the importance of every possession. They believe that even one possession has the power to alter the outcome of an entire game. This means that people should expect a Thunder team that is more willing to dive for loose balls, grab rebounds and make plays on every possession. This should make for a very exciting and fast paced game. If you want to join in all the fun, be sure to purchase your Thunder tickets now before all the seats sell out.
Russell Westbrook is a player that caused a lot of controversy during their last playoff run because he shot the ball too much instead of getting it to the hands of their best player. He tried to do too much by himself which might have arguably cost them a game or two. This season though, he has learned from his mistakes. He mentioned that he was watching some tapes from last season and knows what he has to do to help his team win. Both Durant and Westbrook are very close and their closeness is only surpassed by their will to win the championship this season. They have each other’s back which means that the Thunder will be ready for any adversity that they will face. Be sure to buy your Thunder tickets now so that you can watch this tag team mix it up on the court.
Kendrick Perkins will be the main difference for this team this season. He was not in the best condition when he joined the Thunder and still had a lot to learn. Now that he has played a few games and lost some weight, he is ready to dominate all those who try to score. He will be the key defensive player when the Thunder faces off against teams like the Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics and other teams with a lot of offensive power.
Coach Scott Brooks is preaching defense to his team. This is a great strategy because most teams have a group of players that are considered to be scoring machines. This also makes a lot of sense because OKC is one team that will not have any problem getting someone to score. With Durant, Westbrook and Harden ready to score, the defense will have a hard time defending this team. But with the work that they are putting on their defense right now, it will be a challenge to score against this team. All in all, this team is looking great! Be sure your ready when the season starts by buying your Thunder tickets early.
