Regardless of his three point percentage, shots like that prove Grant isn't a good shooter.

I cringe everytime Roberson shoots an open 3.

How to end a quarter OKC style:

1: Dribble up the court with 20 seconds left in the 1st/2nd/3rd/sometimes even 4th quarter.

2: Dribble just over half court for 10-15 seconds.

3: Call for a screen. These can be used, however it is recommended that you wave them off.

4: Pull up at the top of the 3 point line with 2-4 seconds left. Ignore team mates calling for the ball, or any pressure on your shot. If this does not work, just try again next quarter.

Adams and Oladipo need to play somewhat close to what their contracts will be paying them next year. Adams is getting killed by Robin freakin Lopez. What a joke.

Alright, way to end the half Thunder. The Bulls go on 7-0 run in the final minute of the half to turn a 48-47 lead into a 55-47 halftime lead. How do we let a team go on a quick 7-0 run in less than a minute? This team pisses me off.

Oh, and Taj Gibson made the second three pointer of his career in that 7-0 run. Because...of course he did.

When Adams sucks, he really goes all in. Brilliant foul by Victor

This is getting ugly. Down 21 at home against a team with chemistry issues.

It's amazing Russ hasn't just absolutely lost it at some of his team mates. Looks to his left, Roberson on the perimeter, to his right Singler, Adams having a bad game, Morrow missing everything. He tries to get team mates involved and as a result they miss open 3s. Just feel bad for him.

We might not score 85 points tonight.

The question we've all been asking for the past season and a half.
