Shooting well from 3 and from the free throw line. Can it happen more often?

That may have been our best quarter of basketball all year.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

If we have nothing to play for then I hope he gets it.

It's not meaningless, it would be an incredible historical accomplishment.

Grant playing for a contract! Dudes really started playing well these last 10.
Adams is looking tired. Dude hasnt been himself in the last few. Maybe trying to grab every offensive board for 5 months has finally got to him.
If portland and Sac beat nuggets and spurs we could be in a good position. Wanna play utah not portland 1st round

It would be really ironic if about the time Jerami Grant gets good we let him walk this summer.

He did it last year, its a random cutoff of numbers.

He did do it last year, which also was incredible. 2 years in a row would be even more so.

It is a random cut off.....that only 1 other player has matched in the history of the league. That's not meaningless. Hope he gets it, truly an amazing talent.

The Thunder have the best backup PFs in the league.

The heat have some of the best accumulation of role players in the league. They just need some star talent.

It will stay that way because they won’t Melo to the bench.

And even if he did it's not going to make this season magically better. It was still his worst season since 2013 (I don't count his injured season in 2014) and it won't be a top three of his career.
Said in a thread about which point guards would make OKC better if they replaced Westbrook:
