OKC Thunder: All-Star Break Report Card

Offense: A-

The Thunder have two of the best scorers in the world on the roster, and it shows in nearly every statistical ranking.

OKC trails only the Golden State Warriors in offensive rating, sitting at 110.2, which means that as a team, they score 110 points per 100 possessions. The Thunder’s true shooting percentage of 56.6, which adjusts for three-point and free throw attempts, currently ranks third in the league.

The main factor in these statistics is four-time scoring champ Kevin Durant, one of the smoothest scorers in the history of the game. His efficiency has been at an elite level as well, with chances of 50/40/90 splits every year.

General manager Sam Presti has done a great job surrounding Durant and Westbrook with guys who can knock down open shots or finish at the rim. Serge Ibaka has developed into a premier catch-and-shoot player and stretched his range out to the three-point line.

As many great offensive pieces that the Thunder have, there are still some flaws with the system in place. Too often, the team becomes reliant on Durant and Westbrook isolation plays, which stagnates movement and flow.

While hero-ball can look pretty when those two are making shots, scoring can become much more difficult with an entire defense with a game plan to stop them. It cost the Thunder in the end of their matchup with the Warriors, where the duo went a combined 0-for-6 down the stretch.

Fortunately for the Thunder, KD and Russ are two of the only players who are capable of carrying an entire team on their backs to win 60-plus games.
