OKC Thunder need Russell Westbrook and Paul George to fail immediately

Timing is everything

Part of being successful in life is simply the timing of everything. Sometimes, it’s just about being in the right place at the right time. The ebb and flow of a basketball season are no different. Earning a playoff spot and making a deep run requires peaking at the right time with the right lineups and a proper mindset.

If Westbrook and George both happen to enter a dry spell in their production in the near future, then the best time for them to find their grooves again would be right after the home and away series with the Toronto Raptors toward the end of March. That would mean there are 12 games in which they struggle through a three week period.

More importantly, that means they would have nine games to regain their prowess through two weeks of gameplay before the playoffs commence. That would be plenty of time for them to reassert themselves as the superstars they are before leading the Thunder into the first round of playoffs.
