Yikes.
Operation Bongo reared its ugly Sam Bowie head in late August as it was reported on Wednesday that Chet ‘The Stickman’ Holgren might be done for his rookie season before the tanking Thunder even made it to training camp to train to lose sixty games this NBA regular season.
If the Thunder do indeed lose sixty-two games this NBA season it will put Clay Bennett’s ball club a combined 62-184 the past three seasons combined.
This is so Oklahoma. I feel even bad mentioning it on my blog because by nature I’m not a cruel human being.
This in my mind drops the Thunder from the 24.5 Vegas number I had them picked to win this season to somewhere around 20.5 games won by the frail feeble Thunder.
I’m not at all bent out of shape by this at all, except that I feel sorry for The Stickman and truly hope he’s not the next Sam Bowie or Greg Oden on the NBA horizon of physically frail big men doomed by bad feet.
I could honestly care less at this point because I’ll be watching Golden State, Boston, Milwaukee, and Denver.
I wish these Presti Warriors of Sustainability the best because I want to continue to be able to see real NBA teams which are run by real NBA people come to Oklahoma and allow us to to see some of the best athletes in the world in person.
I feel sick for the suckers who already paid tickt price for Thunder season tickets, but you know what Trump says and this is a Trump redneck city…”Never give suckers an even break and kick them when they’re down.”
Que sera,eh.
I hope this doesn’t cause OKC Jim over there on the Pulitizer Prize Award winning Daily Thunder message board to become despaired, but my guess is he’ll extract some sort of nonsensical, totally absurd Silver Lining out of The Stickman missing his entire rookie season.
This is a blessing for me in that in the past two weeks I’ve binge watched both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. I tell you what …that dude Vince Manning who wrote both of those screenplays flat out can write his ass off. That dude can write.
Everything in life happens for a reason. Hope you heal and get better, Stickman.

The scene with Kim Wexler standing up to Lalo Salamaca is iconic. Simply iconic. I had my .38 caliber Glock automatic revolver out on the coffee table by this point. What a great movie scene!!!
