Coming i to this season, I had high hopes for this Thunder team. Even after losing KD, they have a solid nucleus left.
They've got good guards, a nice set of bigs, and pretty solid defense
BUT......heres what worries me
Russell Wesbrook
The age old adage "Your greatest strength is also your greatest weakness" rings true here
Russell has failed thus far to be a leader, to make others better, or more importantly, he's not even getting them involved.
The other night against Phoenix, he had 50 FGA... Tonight he was the only player with DD with 30 FGA
RW is going to get tired. Others are going to get tired of not eing involved. One of OKC's biggest strength is their bigs and they're non existent right now.
Right now, the OKC Thunder are a SELL!!!!
This is a team that can have success if Weatbrook becomes a team player. If not, they'll reaemble the Lakers late in Kobes career
Tomorrow, they will not cover the 11.5
4x play
