The more the OKC Thunder struggle to string together wins, rediscover their defense and shoot at an average level the more concern arises. Not that long ago every analyst cited the Thunder as the most likely team to cause the Warriors trouble this postseason.
While that may still be true, I’m sure analysts weren’t expecting them to have to prove it in the first round.
