What an interesting night of NBA play. The Thunder allowed Steph to shred them for 24 first period points as he easily scored 49 points in a Warriors blowout of the feeble Thunder in Oakland.
Either Steph or Chris Paul will get my MVP vote, but I haven’t decided yet.
The horrific Thunder have now lost twenty of their last twenty-one games in their quest to somehow land Cade Cunningham unless Sam Presti decides to go with all-white players next season in Trumpland-OKC and surprises everyone by using his lottery pick to go with OU combo guard Austin Reaves. That was sarcasm if you’re wearing your MAGA ball cap on Mother’s Day. I like Austin…but not that much.
If you’re paying attention the Thunder are getting awfully white this basketball season…. Kid Poku, Ty Jerome, Svi, Gabriel Deck, etc.
I have to think about what would be the NBA’s all-white team currently. Obviously…Luka would be my captain.It would seem to me though in Oklahoma City… the home of domestic terrorism and Proud Boys an all white approach could be a way to keep players here beyond their rookie scale contracts and rekindle season ticket sales post Covid.
Think about what I just wrote. Oklahoma City of all places with its past of Timothy McVeigh and the tragedy of 1995 probably has more season ticketholders than not who think January 6th was a good thing for America. Sam Anderson…help me out here. What am I missing?
Four games left for the now 21-47 Thunder. The Warriors conversely look like they’re getting to be respectable even without Klay in the lineup this season. Draymond and Andrew Wiggins have become nice second and third pieces to compliment Steph. I would love to see the Warriors vs. the Lakers in the play-in game.
If I had to vote MVP right now … I would vote Steph MVP because he has simply been incredible.
Meanwhile…Russell notched his 181st career triple double last night as the surging Washington Wizards beat the Pacers 133-132 to solidify their position as the 9th seed for one of the play-in games in the East.
A very nice turn around for Scott Brooks and his Wizards as they’ve been one of the hottest teams in the NBA as of late to have a respectable season after a horrible start.
The Wizards probably won’t turn out to be a fairly tale ending like the Capitals and the Nationals of late, but still a nice turnaround by Russell and Bradley Beal to give the D.C. fans a respectable basketball season.
It’s hard to believe how loud it was in Oklahoma City back in 2016-17. Sam Presti needs to draft a player who can help sell tickets and make downtown OKC a fun place to be again on game day.
