The OKC Thunder continues to beat the weaker teams, and struggle against the playoff teams in the NBA. And with a favorable schedule coming up for Russell Westbrook and company, expect their record to only look better and better over the course of the next week and a half.

Westbrook is putting up insane numbers, of which we haven’t seen in a very long time. If he continues to perform at this frantic pace, he’s only going to receive more and more consideration for the NBA’s MVP award, as he should.

Still, expect the Thunder to make a move via trade over the next few months. They want wing depth, and perhaps a shooter. Rudy Gay is a name to keep an eye on.
