The Oklahoma City Thunder is a member of the NBA and is part of the Northwest Division in the Western Conference. The team, formed in 1967, was originally the Seattle Supersonics. While playing in Seattle the team appeared in three Western Conference Finals and won one NBA Championship.

In 2007, the announcement of a move to Oklahoma City saw the end of the Supersonics and the birth of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Not unlike most expansion teams or teams that relocate, the inaugural 2008 season started slow, as the Thunder got off to a dismal 3-29 start. After firing both the head coach and assistant coach, Scott Brooks took over as interim coach and after losing the next four games, the Thunder beat the Memphis Grizzlies on the road to avoid the worst start since the team’s inception. The Thunder began to improve as the season went on, finishing the year off with a 20-30 record and a 23-59 record overall, which was an improvement over the last year’s record as the Supersonics.

In the 2009-2010 season, the Thunder improved significantly behind the leadership of Kevin Durant and a team that was hungry to win. With a 28-point win over the Orlando Magic and a 16-point win over the defending champion Lakers, along with big road wins, the Thunder began to make it known they were ready to be serious contenders. Finishing the year with a 50-32 record the Thunder earned a spot in the playoffs, but the Lakers beat the Thunder in six games.

The next two seasons saw much of the same as the Thunder continued to improve, with records exceeding 50 plus wins each year. In the 2010-2011 season, the Thunder advanced to the Western Conference Finals, losing to the Dallas Mavericks in five Games. In the 2011-2012 season, the Thunder made it to the NBA Finals, defeating the Mavericks, Spurs, and the Lakers. The Finals pitted them against the Miami Heat in which the Thunder lost the series in five games. The Thunder has shown that they have the desire and skills to win and will be a team to watch in future seasons.
