Remember when the NBA made their championship run during the season by poaching Chris Moltisanti as the face of an Ocean's Eleven knockoff?
Anthony Davis is throwing cards, Julius Randle is watching the action, and DeMar DeRozan is a chameleon.
Well, The Oklahoman didn't make it that far, perhaps columnist Joe Mussato doesn't have the skills for such a job. And the latest episode of Thunder Buddies is not sponsored by FanDuel, nor does it contain anything with real stakes. But it contains some exaggeration.
About how many Oklahoma City Thunder players will participate in this year's All-Star Weekend in one event or another; How many wins might this ambitious OKC team end up with; How many playoff series can this team win this year; How many future best NBA players do the Thunder have?
Mussato and the Thunder beat writer Joel Lorenzi by a roll of the dice on all of that. They also discussed OKC's loss to Atlanta, preliminary All-Star fan voting and more.
