Welcome to Views from OKC, Thunderous Intentions daily roundup of the best Thunder stories across the web.

New to Views from OKC? Glad to have you here, and I hope you’ll make this a daily destination. Well, let’s get started!

Everyone’s favorite awful coach returns

“Brooks said he will walk his players through sets as usual. Scout the opponent like any other team. Even break down the game plan against the rival point guard as if he hadn’t attended that player’s wedding two summers ago.”

Look, I love Scott Brooks. He’s a main reason why Durant, Westbrook and Harden are the superstar-talents that they are. But he’s not a head coach in the NBA. Brooks doesn’t like to make in-game adjustments and he was absolutely horrendous at putting the guys in sets during crunch time. But hey, he’s a great dude and he helped lead us to the NBA Finals. I can’t wait to give him applause from my couch tonight.

Let’s actually preview the game!

“But the Thunder haven’t been consistent since they sat at 6-1 to start the season. Among their win streaks have been runs of four and three consecutive losses, including poor performances against the likes of the Sacramento Kings and the Detroit Pistons.”

This is ground-breaking people. I have never linked to one of our posts before because you’re already visiting the site. But when nobody else has a preview up you gotta pull some strings. This should be an easy win for the Thunder, which is why they will probably lose. Hopefully they prove me wrong, but I have a bad feeling about this game…

Introducing the “Devastated Dunk Meter”

“This one is the seasoning in the disrespectful dunk jambalaya. A strong backstory turns a great moment into an iconic one. Remember when the Mavs beat the Heat in the 2011 Finals? There was a thing during that series where, after Game 3, Jason Terry said LeBron James wasn’t going to be able to guard him very well, and then somehow that s*** ended up coming true.”

If you’re not reading everything Shea Serrano puts out in the Internet-sphere you are living life wrong. Serrano writes the most random pieces, yet they always come out making sense in the end. Okay maybe not always. Definitely check this piece out though, because there is a certain familiar face as the last entry.
