​When the Thunder added Paul George and Carmelo Anthony, they probably expected to hit the ground running. That hasn't been the case.





After losing on Friday to the Spurs, the Thunder have fallen to 7-8.





Thankfully, Carmelo has answers.

Melo on the Thunder's struggles: "Now we’re just playing too unselfish, too timid, we’re thinking too much. Russ, PG, myself, we have to do a better job of being selfish in a way of playing our game and being aggressive on the basketball court." — Fred Katz (@FredKatz) November 20, 2017

Carmelo saying that they need to get more selfish makes sense.





Carmelo, Westbrook, and George probably all feel like that want to get each other involved. But there are times where they need to revert back to iso ball.

The Thunder's struggles shouldn't come as a total shock though. Most of the time, new teams like this need some time to gel together. Chemistry doesn't just happen overnight. It's something that needs to be worked on.





It's still only 15 games in the season and the Thunder haven't hit their stride yet. But fans shouldn't be too concerned, there is still plenty of time to work it out and the OKC should be fine.
