The Oklahoma City Thunder have gotten off to an unexpected 4-7 start to the season, and after losing four straight with Thursday night's defeat to the Denver Nuggets, the players opted to call a closed-door meeting to iron out their issues.

“It was just good to get everything out on the table,” swingman Paul George told reporters, according to The Oklahoman via ESPN. “Especially where we're at right now, it's no good if we're bottling it up, because then we could carry it over to the next game and the next game. Just leave everything out in the open.”

Not only have they lost seven of their first 11 games of the season, but the Thunder remain winless against their own Western Conference, reaching the 0-6 mark with yesterday's loss.
