If the OKC Thunder were an amusement park ride they would be a roller coaster. The club began the season 0-4 setting off early alarm bells. In truth, most fans weren’t worried by the start since Russell Westbrook was still recouping from offseason arthroscopic knee surgery and there were many youngsters on the team expected to fulfill bigger roles.
Even this current regression shouldn’t be too shocking given the OKC Thunder knew they would have the most difficult schedule of all 30 teams to close out their season. What they and we as fans couldn’t predict was such a drastic fall off or Paul George‘s injured shoulder.
