NBA Power Rankings: OKC Thunder and peers struggle to find consistency
Oklahoma City Thunder. 6. team. 149. . 40-26. Previous: 9th
It’s a miracle the OKC Thunder have managed to stay afloat in the upper tier this long given their record since the All-Star Break. (3-6).
The addition of Markieff Morris has yet to pay dividends and the longer Paul George struggles to return to his pre All-Star form the more concerning the team’s slide becomes.
What offers the most encouragement is the teams the Thunder are beating are the more elite squads and Russell Westbrook looks to be peaking at precisely the right time.
