Oklahoma City Thunder: Getting Russell Westbrook back on track

The Oklahoma City Thunder may currently be a top 3 seed in the Western Conference, but if they’re going to be considered a real threat come playoff time they’re going to need a resurgent Russell Westbrook during the second half of the season.

During the month of December, Westbrook has been really bad from the field. He’s only averaging 17 points on 36 percent shooting from the field and 29 percent from 3-point range. This can’t continue to be the case for this team moving forward.

The exceptional play of Paul George has continued to keep the Thunder afloat, but this team needs Westbrook on top of his game for the stretch run.
