Very much a blah exhibition game. CP3, Nerlens, and Terrance didn’t play for the Thunder. For Portland the two big guns Damian and CJ didn’t play either.
I was very impressed in these three games by SGA, Bazely, and Dort. Bazely is going to be a player once he does the weight room work and gets more confidence in his overall game.
OKC plays Utah in their first of eight seeding games on Saturday. On a neutral bubble floor I would think Vegas will have OKC as a 1 to 1.5 point favorite. How Vegas handicaps these bubble games will be interesting.
Here’s a little vintage Nick to get me into the proper mindset for this week-end.
It’s time to put Trump in the trash and get myself into an August hoops/hockey mindset.
The weather is gorgeous in Oklahoma and feels like late September…so why not. 8.7″ of rain in the gauge in July so far at the Deer Creek Weather Station. Even the usually arid OKC airport has 6.2″ for the month as well.The flora is spectacular.
Pauli captured an opossum by the gold fish pond then let it go thinking she had killed it until it ran off into the forest. That was more exciting than this Portland exhibition game. I guess we need to keep an eye on the Clippers COVID-wise as it was reported Lou Williams has been slipping off to strip bars out of the bubble late at night.
You won’t read that one on the Daily Thunder. Presti won’t allow it.
I’m ready for some basketball.
