Month: October 2025

MJ turned 68 on Friday. It’s been awesome, especially considering 66 didn’t appear all that possible at one point.

Love, joy, and loving-kindness just can’t seem to get enough of me. Kindness begats kindness. I’m in this miraculous bubble of faith, love, and mercy and its beyond wonderful. Surreal…would be an appropriate adjective.

I haven’t put anything political on the blog in quite some time because I finally came to the common sense conclusion this is Oklahoma… half of you can’t, don’t, or won’t read anything objective, while the other half of you thought it was a really good thing to put Donald Trump, Markwayne Mullin, and Oklahoma’s Radical Right Superman Ryan Walters in office at the same time.

No additional thoughts on that one from MJ. He has learned his lesson with you people in those 74 Oklahoma counties mentioned on here frequently. My obvious Antifa radical left views surfaced in the mid-70’s and still persist. Those being… I voted for Ford, John Anderson, Bush 41 and John McCain. I had nothing against Reagan, but he just cut taxes too much to in reality be anything close to a monetary pragmatist or responsible fiduciary.

MJ can only hope at this point he isn’t circled by the FBI as a dangerous Antifa copycat subversive of the Oklahoma state government and beyond.

Editor’s Footnote* below.

The defending champ OKC Thunder get their pre-season started later today with a pre-season game versus the Charlotte Hornets. Minnesota beat the Nuggets last night in their first pre-season game. These games aren’t about winning…they’re about evolving and finding out about those guys 11-15 on the roster.

Have a beautiful Sunday. Take time to smell the roses, enjoy the last days of the hummingbirds, and take notice of the butterflies in Oklahoma. I know the previous sentence will brand MJ as a radical left dude even moreso who voted for John McCain…but que sera—it is what it is.

Peace, MJ.

It’s early October and one shouldn’t make predictions this early, but for me the two best rosters with the two best cores are the OKC Thunder and the Denver Nuggets. Maybe Houston third if Kevin Durant’s body can get him to mid-April healthy. Minnesota should still be a force, but they as a team have to find offensive consistency. IN BOLD TYPE. OFFENSE HAS TO BE MUCH BETTER.

San Antonio and Dallas interest me, but based on their season endings last April … that’s a wait and see for me.

Golden State is another wait and see for me. Too many minutes on the bodies of Steph, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond, plus the unknown of how many times Draymond’s antics will hurt his own team.

If there were an official NBA.com metric for most stupid, bone-headed plays which cause a team to stall…I would guesstimate Draymond has been the runaway leader in that metric ever since he slugged then teammate Jordan Poole several seasons ago. I’m done trying to figure out Draymond’s head. Steph and Jimmy Butler can have that assignment.

The Denver Nuggets are loaded and three of their core members, Nikola, Aaron, and Christian ar coming off career years as far as offensive production. Quite frankly, on my sheet I had both on my lis as playing better than Jamal Murray during the playoffs. They both exceeded expectations, while Jamal struggled at times.

That struggling needs to end this next April if the Nuggets are to deny the Thunder a back to back and in the stead win their second O’Brien Trophy themselves in the past four seasons.

Peyton Watson needs to be more consistent as does Julian Strawther. Don’t forget it was Julian who in reality sparked the Nuggets past the Thunder in Game 6 in Denver.

I’m not at all concerned about Bruce Brown, Cam Johnson, and Jonas V playing well. If you can’t fit your game to Nikola then it probably isn’t happening for you in the NBA. Ask Russell Westbrook’s agent if you doubt MJ on that one.. I love Russell and that’s the only reason I’m not adding another sentence or two to the previous thought.

Bottomline…Jamal needs to be more consistent this season and stay healthy if possible.

Have a beautiful Friday.

More love and less hate. We have to be better than this. We have to.
