Victor Oladipo still isn't over it.

On the whole, he had a fine debut season with the Thunder, averaging 15.9 points – his exact career average – and shooting a career-best 36.1 percent from 3-point range.

But Oladipo's scoring average dipped to 10.8 points per game in a five-game first-round playoff loss to the Houston Rockets – his first-ever playoff series – and the bad feelings from it still linger.

“The playoffs kind of left a sour taste in my mouth,” Oladipo told The Oklahoman Monday night after the NBA Awards in New York City. “A sour taste, period. I'm doing what I can to change that.”
