Besides the fact that there might not be a season next year, there are quite a few reasons why the OKC Thunder simply aren't built for a title. Many people argue that the Thunder are one of the most talented teams in the NBA, and they'd be right. However, talent doesn't necessarily translate into rings.For starters, the Thunder are inexperienced, everyone agrees on that much. Their projected starting lineup next season features two 21-year-olds, two 22-year-olds, and a 26-year-old. They acquired pieces through the draft and built a solid roster, but they are still young.
They gained valuable playoff experience last season, but when Russell Westbrook hogs the ball at the end of the game, there isn't a viable veteran presence in the locker room to set him straight.(kevin durant)
The Thunder looked flustered at times throughout the playoffs and were easily taken care of by the Mavericks. The Thunder should have won more than one game in that series. In the playoffs, the Thunder were 6-3 at home, but only 3-5 on the road. You could clearly see the struggles of this young team on the road.
