What might August be on the NBA calendar — other than an invitation for dreaded redrafts and for fanbases to mindlessly clash — if not for the league’s schedule release? The matchups. The storylines. The anticipation. All tangible, even while being two months from regular season NBA action. With plenty to dissect, The Oklahoman’s Thunder beat writer Joel Lorenzi and columnist Joe Mussatto picked apart the Thunder’s 82-game slate for the most important footnotes on the newest episode of Thunder Buddies.

I'm glad that Erik realises how negative he is. And you might give up with half a game to go but these guys are professional competitors. You don't give up.
