The Thunder conclude their run up to the All-Star weekend break with an uneven last four games, going 2-2. Does the dominant win against a short-handed Kings team placate the funk that I'm still smelling from that Warriors debacle? I don't know...give me another day.
From Around the NBA:
| SOURCE | RANKING (last) | COMMENT |
| SB Nation | 10 (9) | An inch away from a Tyreke Evans made 3 and consecutive losses to losing teams; game of inches indeed. |
| ESPN - Hollinger | 10 (9) | Holding steady; no real improvement or drop, but still inconsistent. |
| ESPN - Stein | 8 (7) | Durant has topped 30 points 22 times this season, which leads the league. |
| NBA.com | 8 (7) | A once-flying offense ground to a halt. It's amazing how turnovers from the point kills the flow. |
| CBS Sports | 8 (7) | Two boards against a weak rebounding team; that cannot happen again. |
| ProBasketballTalk | 8 (7) | Defense not good enough for offense to have a bad night. |
| Hoopsworld | 8 (6) | Thunder have a nice cushion in the Northwest. Don't get complacent. |
| Behind the Basket | 9 (6) | Chapelle joke got me. That's just perfect. |
| FoxSports | 7 (7) | Utah's drop has been good for the Thunder. Portland is hanging around, and Memphis is right there. |
| SportsIllustrated | 8 (7) | The Thunder are walking a screwy tightrope between excelling at good things and faltering in bad ways. How will this play out in the post-season? |
| Covers | 8 (6) | Tough to get a read on what to expect night to night. |
