What's going wrong with the Oklahoma City Thunder? 

#1 Miserable clutch play

Russell Westbrook ensured the OKC were among the elite in clutch play last year.

All of the team's seven losses have come by a margin less than 10 (three of them under four points). So it's safe to assume that the game was decided in the last five minutes of the game. And a deeper look at the team's number under clutch situations (under five minutes and score within five) showcases their biggest issue.

First, let's take a look at the team's numbers in last year's clutch situation. With Westbrook taking over en route to his record-breaking triple-double last season, the team ranked second in the league in net rating (offensive efficiency - defensive efficiency) at 19.9.

This season, they rank last. Yes, dead last - 30th out of 30 NBA teams. In clutch situations this year, their net rating is -60.7, worst by a long margin with Dallas Mavericks, who are 29th, having a net rating of -39.4. Royce Young, the Oklahoma City Thunder beat writer for ESPN summed it best:

You can talk all you want about ball movement, but unless there's a structure in place that forces it, players are going to fall back to their comfort zones, which for many, is iso.
