Thunder Derail Lakers for 1st Win of Season, 123-115

What a great basketball game for the youthful Thunder!!!!

This game had everything you’d want and then some from a tanking team like the Thunder. This game was lit!

Russell Westbrook is a walking Greek tragedy. I don’t know how else to describe his play or behavior in the second half. The outburst towards Bazely was silly at best. If I were Bazely I would have heliocoptered the dunk and then grabbed my crotch walking by Russell.

Put aside the Bazely dunk…Russell was 8-20 from the field, had 10 turnovers and was -12 on a night Coach Vogel needed leadersip with LeBron sitting out the game. I’ll be frank on here…Russell’s tenure on my Top 30 Pyramid this season could be a short one if I see much more of this bullshit. Kyle Lowery is still available for my Pyramid in that spot.

I love Russell and his little brother sent me a note when I started my blog…but this is complete bullshit.

  • Darius Bazely,,,great night even beyond the dunk…No. 1 helmet sticker. Keep working on your defensive footwork.
  • Josh Giddy…whoa. That perfectly executed pick and roll to Favors with the game hanging in the balance was something we’ll all be talking about two years from now. Sam Presti…for the first time since God knows when you actually picked someone who can play basketball in the NBA with a first round draft pick. Josh Giddy…No. 2 helmet sticker.
  • Coach D…great job on the two challenges and the adjustment made to stem the bleeding in your defensive lane after giving up 54 points in the lane in the first half. Here’s what I’ll say though…you don’t need to make an excuse for the dunk. Embrace the fact the kid had already forgotten his gaffe on the half court violation. Coach D…3rd helmet sticker.
  • Mike Jackson from okcthunderground.com for writing such a lit recap to make up for the fact there’s no adult content whatsover on the Daily Thunder. This is how Russell should have filled in for LeBron. No. 4 helmet sticker is mine.
  • Shai…you played like a star tonight. Don’t think I didn’t notice. But this is how a star is supposed to lead and play every night who just signed a max contract. You get the 5th helmet sticker, stud hoss.

Next up..I believe are the Warriors on the road in San Franciso for the 1-4 Thunder.

BTW…great crowd at Pay.Com Arena tonight. Glad I didn’t buy a Lakers’ shirt.

Bad Little Dude… I still love you though, We’re both hopelessly flawed. Tell LeBron it’s no big deal.

The wife is asleep in the other room as is the diva lab Pauli on the couch. I think I’ll slip out to the back patio area looking into the Deer Creek forest and see if I can smoke a victory cigar without catching the sofa on fire. A song for the upcoming California road trip would be nice as well. Better savor every win like it was Game 7 is my feel as of October 27th. Carpa diem.
