With five games completed the OKC Thunder is in the downward position having lost four of those matches. Once again the team kept the game close and were in the match right until the final horn.
Although the team fought back in the Wizards match it was the only loss that didn’t come down to clutch time. Whereas in each of the Jazz, Rockets, and Blazers losses one stop and one made bucket are all that separates the record from being 4-1 instead of 1-4.
In those losses, the club committed the same errors. Since it’s so early in the season it’s hard to decipher if the issues are a matter of talent, roster depth, growing pains or coaching inadequacies.
