Something has to give as the OKC Thunder have struggled recently. Going back to the final game prior to the break when the team lost to the hapless New Orleans Pelicans. Since then the Thunder have lost five of their six contests.
There are valid reasons we can point to as to the regression. First Paul George has missed the last three games and will not dress again tonight due to a strained shoulder or more specifically an issue with his rotator cuff. If we’re honest other than the game against the Jazz which took two overtime periods to decide George looked like he was injured for a while and his falling production amplified my instinct he was hurt.
