For a team led by a guy who “plays hard on every play,” the Oklahoma City Thunder sure do lack energy in a lot of games. Those aren’t just my words. They are the words of Carmelo Anthony following Tuesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.
Anthony didn’t need to say it. We all saw it. We’ve all seen it this whole season. Whether it was Sunday against the Suns, down in Mexico against the Nets or a random game against the Magic and Kings. This team doesn’t come out with the fire and passion that they need to compete on a nightly basis.
