The Thunder are likely eager to be back in the confines of the ‘Peake tonight as they head into game 3 of their first round series vs the Trail Blazers. Games one and two seldom went according to plan, as OKC’s offensive deficiencies we’ve observed post-All Star weekend have manifested in spades. They’re struggling to score from everywhere on the court, but role players such as Terrance Ferguson and Jerami Grant, still unaccustomed to what it means to play well in the playoffs, are historically prone to struggle. Steven Adams is the rock, but he can only do so much, given the team’s system.
