Durant hasn't played to his standards from last year is solely because he's been hurt and in-and-out of the lineup. I know it's probably not what you mean, but Durant playing up to his standards from last year doesn't have anything to do with him regressing or just flatout sucking. He's had games where he's been every bit of 2014 Durant, he just hasn't had a long enough stretch of time to work himself back from the injuries and shake off the rust.
Anyway, without going into any kind of detail because it's f***ing 3:00 in the morning and I'm tired, OKC's main problems this year really all stem from a lack of cohesiveness. Whether that cohesiveness is due to injuries, new players and new starters, or a mid-season trade, the roster as a whole (when it's at its ideal form when fully healthy) has had very little time to gel and develop chemistry.
After that it's things like Serge Ibaka turning into a f***ing pansy and regressing big time; Scott Brooks being one of the worst coaches in the league and being a TERRIBLE fit for the older, more mature OKC roster; and Russell Westbrook not being as good as Kevin Durant, which was always pretty obvious...what I mean is that Westbrook, as great as he is, just isn't quite as capable of carrying a roster as Durant ala 2014.
All-in-all the whole season has been an enormous mess and extremely frustrating, and I've been drinking a lot of beer over the last few weeks to cope with it all in an unhealthy manner. I still think OKC will get their shit together at some point and go on a run where they win something like 20 out of 25 games but, at this point, I'm afraid it may be too late.

This ain't happening this year son, OKC roster not good enough and West too hard of a conference to be in.
