Hi. Today I will discuss why OKC Thunder didn't make the playoffs this year. Remember, this is just my opinion.
Firstly, OKC Thunder had a tough schedule; They had to play great teams from March 29- April 15. These teams included the Pacers, Trailblazers and Grizzlies. Secondly, Apart from Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka; it seemed like no one wanted to step up when these three had a bad day. I get it; every team has a mainstay player/s, but the bench has to contribute to a great extent as well. I think if OKC Thunder and Scott Brooks want to be a team with playoff caliber next year; they need to make some smart trades. In addition, the bench players need to contribute a little more in order to make it to the playoffs.
