Oklahoma City Thunder
The Thunder are in trouble: Trick
Starting the season at 0-4, the Oklahoma City Thunder were one of the NBA’s most disappointing teams coming out of the gate. They missed Russell Westbrook for the first two contests, but even so, this wasn’t the start anyone was expecting after trading away Carmelo Anthony and bringing in Dennis Schroder to be their designated sixth man.
Fortunately, OKC was able to bounce back with a win against a Suns team notorious for getting teams back on track. From there, the Thunder notched their first notable win of the season by beating an underrated Clippers side.
Their record may read 2-4, but no one should be sleeping on a team with Westbrook, Paul George and Steven Adams. Schroder will get acclimated soon enough, Nerlens Noel is showing signs of life and guys like Jerami Grant and Hamidou Diallo still have room to grow. It won’t be long before the Thunder is rolling again.
