Beginning the season with four consecutive losses raised concerns over the OKC Thunder roster makeup. Although Russell Westbrook was out for two of those losses the prevailing concern was a lack of shooting and floor spacing.
Albeit, part of the issues stemmed from the need to integrate several key contributors into the mix. As they say hindsight is 20-20, since the team not only rebounded to find flow, but is flourishing. Again, Thunder fans must keep in perspective the level of competition they’ve faced. Still, a seven game win streak sure does offer reason for optimism.
