I had a great Saturday in Seminole at the 87th birthday party of my wife’s godfather… Regis. It was lovely. A fish fry and great conversation. Trumpers and non-Trumpers…we all got along, and I was genuinely pleased by the maturity of the statements being made back and forth. Then we drove back home through the storms and made it back safely. A very nice Saturday including the late NBA games.
I’ve put this 2016 Golden State video on above because I honestly think the Thunder fanbase is one of the dumbest in the NBA. Which I feel is very disappointing considering the Thunder are now in their 15th year of existence in Oklahoma City.
I wish I could write something differently, but that’s the way I honestly feel at this juncture. I pray for the Thunder because in my own selfish plans I want them to succeed so I can continue to see in person some of the best athletes in the world come thru Pay.com Arena which is twenty minutes from our house highway pretty much all the way.
I think if you’re a discerning NBA fan you should watch the Bob Myers interview above and catalog some of what he said in 2016 as the Thunder attempt to work their way out of the NBA’s small market version of hell and become semi-relevant once again.
You should glean much more from this video than what Sam Presti offered in his recent two hour plus version of how the Thunder got to where they are currently on the NBA food chain.
Luck, smarts, hard work, and determination are what separate winners from losers so to speak… in all walks of life.
The Thunder need to smarten up in a hurry. I could care less what the two most recently read books were by Sam Presti. You know why, because I’m pretty sure he doesn’t read some of the books on my yearly lists. I thought the fact he name-dropped his two most recent reads was condescending considering how pathetic the Thunder’s last two seasons were to observe from an objective lens.
Sam Presti and Clay Bennett need to figure this out…it doesn’t matter what city you live in… it’s winning which puts paying customers in seats and purchasing things Thunder related.
Nobody in the end really gives a flying f–k what Sam Presti’s last two reads were considering he was the one who dropped the line “Scared money don’t make money.” Walk the walk, pal. You said, you own it.
Steven Adams only played 3:41 and was a -5 in the Grizzlies loss in Game 4 to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Coach Taylor Jennings absolutely made the correct call as coach for one simple reason…that reason being he wanted his team to have the best possible chance of winning the game.
Note to Sam Presti…you need to be filling your roster with guys who can shoot combined with guys who can defend the perimeter like Lu Dort and Kenrich Williams. Get a rim protector who can actually play basketball on both ends of the floor and see what happens.
Let’s Go Warriors!
