Without the NCAA Tournament, sports fans have been missing the joys of March. That got Thunder Wire to thinking — if there was a bracket with just Seattle SuperSonic and Oklahoma City Thunder teams, which would win?
With the bracket above, fans are invited to vote in the polls on each page to decide the best SuperSonics or Thunder team in the organization’s history.
Seeding was based on a variety of criteria, the most important of which were the team’s playoff performance and the regular-season record.
Here is a breakdown of each team ordered by first-round matchup. The first page is the first four seeds, which have byes, and the next pages are about teams in the first round.
Included is regular-season finish, playoff result and a short rundown of key players on the roster.
