How Do You Get Out Of A Slump?
Just about every Thunder player has experienced some form of a slump this season.
Some of their slumps were snapped after a few games. Some have lingered for weeks.
But the key to being a good pro is finding a way to work your way out of a funk or, at the very least, contribute in other areas while mired in one. What have Thunder players historically done to snap a slump? That’s the focus of today’s question of the day.

Focus less on your shots and more about how you can get yourself in position to make a better shot, like running your man off a screen harder or setting your man up harder if you’re a perimeter player. If you’re a big guy and can set a good screen or roll harder, then you’re going to find yourself more open and in a better situation. Simplifying what you’re thinking of helps. I’ve had stretches where I’ve played really bad at times and it does where on you sometimes. Sometimes it’s better to get away from it all. The worst thing you can do is beat yourself up when you’re away from the court thinking about negative thoughts.

The best way to work out of it is not to over think. Just continue to do whatever you do and shots will fall. I’ve been in shooting slumps before, and what I did to handle it was just get in the gym, get up extra shots and not over think. I’ve prayed, too (laughs). I know you’re supposed to pray all the time. But I’ve picked it up because of slumps.
