Following the incredible Russell Westbrook MVP campaign, many expected the Thunder to roll. Especially, this was true since OKC went and added Paul George and Carmelo Anthony to the team. Many expected this team to give Golden State a strong run for their money.
However, the OKC big three is having a much harder time winning games than most expected. Honestly, Jimmy Butler’s Timberwolves are beginning to look like one of the West’s top three teams. Much of this is due to Russell Westbrook’s own struggles.
Russell Westbrook has had his moments, including his 81st career triple double. Unfortunately, Westbrook is having a hard time at the free-throw line. He is shooting a career-worst 58.8% from the free-throw line, which is on par with such big men as Dwight Howard.
