Locked On Thunder - Daily Podcast On The Oklahoma City Thunder

The Oklahoma City Thunder have lost six out of their last ten games and aren't showing any signs of breaking out of their current skid. Last night Billy Donovan and Russell Westbrook both took the blame for the Thunder's loss to Memphis, however, this one is all on the players. OKC was too content to shoot jumpers and force the ball inside in the early part of the game, and Russell Westbrook and PG combined to shoot just thirty-three percent. Up next it's the Pacers this Wednesday at the Peake.

The Oklahoma City Thunder got out of their four game slump on Friday vs. the raptors. Still, there are some red-flags as OKC gets ready to head into the postseason, most notably bench play and having to dig out of double-digit deficits on a nightly basis. Billy Donovan has shortened his rotations, but, the starters still need help if the Thunder are going to win a playoff series.  Plus, what is the one piece of advice PG should be giving to Kawhi as he enters free agency?

The Oklahoma City Thunder find themselves tied for the eight seed in the Western Conference playoffs after a 123-114 overtime loss to the Raptors. 

 OKC put together a greatest hits package last night that included a nineteen point deficit, a poor shooting night from the field and free throw line, plus Paul George fouled out before the end of regulation. 

  With just ten games left and one of the hardest schedules in the NBA, it's hard to see the Thunder breaking out of this current cycle.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have lost nine out of their last thirteen games. One of the reasons for the losses piling up is turnovers, the other, just not being basketball aware during certain moments of the game. While Billy Donovan may not be worried about the Thunder turning things around. But with just eleven games left OKC is showing no signs of being able to correct their mental errors. .

Russell Westbrook will be sitting out tonight's game with the Miami Heat after picking up his sixteenth technical foul on Saturday. Russ's move not only leaves OKC without one of it's two best scorers but has far-reaching effects on the organization. 

  As of now, there is no one who can hold Russ accountable for his actions, and unless something changes in the next few months temper tantrums like you saw vs. GSW will prevent OKC from winning a championship.

Russell Westbrook netted his league-leading twenty-sixth (130th overall) triple-double vs. the Nets, yet, he was not the lead story. The perception of Russ putting up meaningless numbers is putting pressure on Sam Presti to make sure he builds a championship contender around Westbrook to legitimize his individual accomplishments. Also, Paul George is still not one-hundred percent healthy and now his left shoulder is bothering him. At What point does Billy Donovan put George back on the bench to get PG ready for the Playoffs?
