By Connor MacKenzie @grandepadre94 In case anybody needed a reminder: Russell Westbrook is very good at basketball. It has been more than well documented that Westbrook had shooting woes for a good stretch. He is without a doubt the leader and heart of the Thunder team. He only knows how to play one way and he usually does it pretty well. At times sporadic and … Continue reading Westbrook Rocks the Blazers back to Portland
By Connor Mackenzie @grandepadre94 After a string of poor performances over the last six games, the Thunder have been able to execute on the road. A huge win on Saturday against the explosive Sixers, and now a thumping of the inferior Knicks put OKC back on the winning track. The Thunder lost some of their mojo, and perhaps fatigue began to sink in after home/away/home/away … Continue reading Thunder Knock the Knicks on MLK Day

By Connor MacKenzie @grandepadre94 Kyle Kuzma came into the Peake with a purpose and lit up the Oklahoma City Thunder for 32 points on 11-20 shooting (7-12 from deep). While Kuzma may get the headline, the story is truly about the Thunder defense getting stifled again. Surrendering a 138-128 loss in overtime. It’s hard to believe, but the Thunder were up 37-20 towards the end … Continue reading Kuzmania Runs Wild in OKC
By Connor MacKenzie @grandepadre94 Lets face it, the Thunder should not have dropped this game. The Thunder have been on a rollercoaster the last 10 games (5-5), and their defense has suffered greatly. One could argue they need Andre Roberson back as soon as possible, and that is valid, however they have been top 5 defensively all season up until this point. The Hawks … Continue reading Hawks Soar as Thunder Defense Crumbles
By Connor MacKenzie @grandepadre94 The San Antonio Spurs used hot shooting and a hungry LaMarcus Aldridge to fuel a game for the ages, a 154-147 2OT thriller. Aldridge had a career high 56 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists. He was white hot all night. Patented turnaround midrange jumper, catch-and-shoot, or old school pound in the paint. Adams did his work to force Aldridge outside, … Continue reading Aldridge Spurs the Thunder

By Connor MacKenzie Two days after Thunder overcome a double-digit deficit to secure their first victory in Portland in 5 years, they show little sense of urgency throughout the game against the Wizards and get wiped off the floor 116-98. Bradley Beal was effective in contributing 25 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds. Five players for the Wizards ended up in double figures, including 20 … Continue reading Wizards Cast a Spell on the Thunder
By Connor MacKenzie To say the Thunder had a rocky start (more so 3 and a half quarters) shooting and defending the ball,would be an understatement. However, as elite teams do, they escaped Los Angeles with a 107-100 victory. Paul George heard his fair share of boos upon his return to the city of Angels and got into early foul trouble in the … Continue reading Thunder Thump Lakers in LaLa Land
By Zach Lutz | @zachlutz6 Since arriving in the Big Ten in 2014, saying it’s been an uphill battle for Maryland is an overstatement. Going into 2017, the Terps had realistic hopes of improving on a season where they finished 7-6 after a bowl victory, however, injuries cleaned out their entire QB rotation and the team struggled down the stretch to do much of anything. … Continue reading Scheduling Kills the Terps chances for 8 Wins
