Jackie Chiles the Perfect Lawyer Episodes
We’re up to nine inches of snow so far in this historical snowstorm. I’m guessing wind chills out here are around -10 at the Deer Springs Weather Station. There has been no walking in search of Morris the Mountain Lion today…nor will there be. I told Pauli if she wants to see a cat today… we’ll watch the Chevy Walter the Cat commercials this evening. She sulked a little then finally came to terms with severity of this winter storm.
I went out to feed the turkeys, the deer, and the other birds and that’s about it for me today. I’ve held fast on my vegan regime during the storm while my wife is still cheating on the diet she proposed to me. Typical.
I’m starting to take shape again like one of Brent Venables four-star safety recruits. Got the bench press back up to 320 lbs. I wonder if Coach V would be interested in a sixty-four-year-old preferred walk-on? Rudy on Medicare. I’d be a great motivational tool.
I think national signing day went just fine for Coach Venables. The defense is shaping up nicely. This is why I’ve never been all that emotional about Lincoln Riley’s departure. I mean…in reality, it saved Joe C from having to fire Lincoln and Alex Grinch after perhaps the most disappointing OU football season in the past fifty years. I think it was a good divorce for all parties…. especially Dillion Gabriel.
This Seinfeld assignment has worn me out. I’ve now watched sixty episodes consisting of around 1,324 minutes of content. Tell me how sick I am and you won’t get an argument.
I’m taking a break. This much Seinfeld dysfunction even surpasses the dysfunction of this Edmond HOA we live in under house arrest. This HOA might be my next special assignment since I need filler because the Thunder aren’t a legitimate NBA team for the second straight season.
I hope you’re not driving anywhere at least until noon tomorrow would be my take on the weather situation. I think we’ll watch some Jack Nicholson chick flicks tonight after placating Pauli with the Walter the Cat commercials.
Be safe and help any homeless people if come across them in this brutal winter storm. Kindness should in abundance in Oklahoma as we deal with this winter storm.
We love Walter. Pauli wants her own cat now. Good lord.
Hey El Prez, cool to see that you’re still writing so much. Hope you’ll stop back into DT at some point to chat!
Luke…how come you’re not a writer over there? Your insights were/are always better than 90% of the content on that blog. Once we get to the NBA trade deadline, I’m going to write some on how I would go with the team moving forward. I might even think very hard about trading Shai depending on what the Thunder could get in return for him.
I mean…to me…it’s pretty clear Giddy is going to be a high usage player who makes the Thunder a better overall team coupled with Tre Mann, Lu Dort, and Aaron Wiggins as they continue to get better. I wouldn’t write-off Bazely or Ty Jerome off as solid bench players either. Not sure what I think of JRE yet. His body fat needs to come down. And of course…I love both Kenrich and Muscala if they want to stay.
As far as projects go…I’d keep the kid from Virginia who played significant minutes with Jerome on that national championship team in 2019. He was valuable piece for that championship team and actually got a ring while on the Milwaukee roster last spring/summer. The Thunder need guys who know what it’s like to win once they come out of this tanking process.
Even if Poku gets better, name one thing to me other than deflecting passes he does better than Giddy? I can’t think of one. Then why do the Thunder need him?
I would still tank like hell to get either Jabari or Banchero this season, then start playing legit ball next season.
I ask myself this question about Shai… is he better than Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton, Tyler Herro, Kyle Lowery, or even Donovan Mitchell?
I would answer no. And none of those four guys are good enough to be the No. 1 guy on a contending team.
My feel this far into Josh Giddy’s rookie season is that he needs a star scorer beside him who can play off of his playmaking. Do you think the Bucks would trade Middleton for Shai heads up? Another couple of vets who hate losing at this level are the next steps I would think. I think the Thunder’s future is actually bright if they play the draft right this summer and make a trade. Milwaukee might need to get beat early for something like that to happen, but you never know. I would definitely keep Dort because I think he could be the next PJ Tucker on a team trying to win. His role needs to be defined a little tighter as far as shot volume. But his defensive versatility is such a plus. If the other team is playing small he could in theory defend all five positions.
Take care of yourself, kid. Nice hearing from you.
