After a long and painful journey, the Oklahoma City Thunder finally finish up their inaugural season with an away game in Los Angeles against the Clippers. The Clippers have won all three contests between the two teams this season, so tonight is OKC's final attempt to not get swept. If the Thunder do get swept, wins against OKC will account for 20% of LA's wins. That would be pretty lame for us.
Other than a few minor "moral" victories, neither team is really playing for much tonight. A win by either team hurts their chances in the draft lottery. If OKC wins and Memphis loses, we'll be tied with them. If the Clippers win and Washington loses, the Clippers move ahead of the Wizards.
Casting all that aside, it'd be really nice to end the season with a win, especially with how the past month has gone. This team needs whatever positives it can get if it wants to work it's way to being a playoff team within a couple years.
