The Oklahoma City Thunder are having a weirdly disappointing start to the season. They are currently on a four-game losing streak and are 4-7 on the year.

Curiously, six of those losses have come from teams in the Western Conference and they have yet to take even a single win in return.

That record is a bit understandable given how tough the West is this season. Although, their loss to the Sacramento Kings was inexcusable, especially with the Kings' starters going scoreless for the first 20 minutes of the game.

The Thunder very easily could’ve won both games against the Minnesota Timberwolves, which were both decided by one possession. They also lost to the Portland Trail Blazers by just four points on the road.

Still, a team with this amount of talent should really be winning more games, close or not. Once they figure some things out with their three stars, they should start racking up more wins over their conference foes.

Those wins could come sooner rather than later. They face the struggling L.A. Clippers, who’ve lost five of their last six games, on Friday night. They also visit the NBA-worst Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. Both games will be at home.

If they don’t pick up at least one win in those games, maybe then it might be time to start getting worried about the Thunder.
