Tonight the Thunder will take on the Northwest Division leading Denver Nuggets. OKC is currently 17 games behind the Nuggets in the standings and winning tonight will go a long way towards ... well, absolutely nothing. Pride perhaps. It would be nice to have our first two game winning streak of the season.
December was a so-so month for Denver as they finished the month 9-6 which was a lower winning percentage (60%) than they had going into the month (67%). They won all of the games against opponents currently with records below .500 but only won 2 of 7 against good opponents. This, of couse, would be a better sign for the Thunder if we had a winning record.
The Thunder are coming off of a win against Golden State where Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, and Chris Wilcox all had big games. If Oklahoma City can get similiar performances out of those three and Russell Westbrook steps it up, the Nuggets could be in for a long trip home to Denver.
