With only five games remaining in the season, the Thunder have hit a new stage. Not the wins and losses have mattered much since the 1-13 start basically ended any hope of the team competing for the playoffs, but after a long and trying year, these last weeks will feature the starters thinking ahead to their Spring/Summer vacation while trying not to get hurt. As a result, Coach Scott Brooks is being asked to use the last few games to give the guys at the end of the bench an opportunity to see the floor.
The results have been mixed. During these open tryouts, some guys have shown promise that Thunder fans will talk about during the off season. Others have exposed themselves as guys who might be seeking employment elsewhere next year. Who's done what?
