Game forecast: Thunder's five biggest games of 2010-11
The OKC Thunder's November matchup with the Boston Celtics will provide an early test of how well OKC is playing offensively and defensively.
Nov. 7 vs. Boston
The Celtics look like they have one more championship run in them. They reloaded with Shaquille O'Neal and Jermaine O'Neal this summer and should again be one of the best defensive teams in the league. It'll provide an early test of where the Thunder is both offensively and defensively against some of the game's biggest stars.
