What a great basketball game! I hope some people watched it because the television ratings for the NBA in the Bubble haven’t been good. To the point Ted Cruz has been trolling Mark Cuban with GoWokeGoBroke in a twitter war of sorts.
What Ted Cruz didn’t mention was the NHL just had their worst ever Stanley Cup ratings and they didn’t wear Black Lives Matter on their jerseys. I would guess major league baseball ratings will be abysmal as well given people like me aren’t going to watch this season after the Houston Astros bullshit.
But this was a great basketball game. You have to give Erik Spoelstra and Pat Riley credit—they compete. Their players compete.
Jimmy Butler as in Game 3 put his team on his back with another triple double. But for me it was the Duncan Robinson night. The skinny white kid from Michigan finally broke loose in this series and went off like Mike Miller did in 2012 against the Thunder. Duncan went 7-13 shooting threes and scored 26 points all told.
Tyler Herro was okay, but this game was about Jimmy Butler and Duncan Robinson.
Still no Goran Dragic, but Spoelstra went with Kendrick Nunn and didn’t put either Kelly Olynyk or Meyers Leonard in this game. He went with seven players and it worked.
LeBron scored forty points and Anthony Davis was decent, but the rest of the Laker roster went awol in this classic Game 5 which was won by the Heat 111-108.
So we now have a Game 6 on Sunday night and we still haven’t had a game where Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro go off on the same night. That’s something I can’t ignore…what happens if these two white dude three point gunners both go off on the same night.
Plus…it appears Anthony Davis might have hurt his heel. We’ll see. I’m happy. I want to see more basketball on the biggest stage even if its in a bubble.
Game 6 on Sunday night. Ted Cruz won’t be watching even though his state of Texas has three NBA franchises. Go Woke Go Broke or whatever, for those of us who love hoops we have a Game 6 and if Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson both go off we could have a Game 7.
Ted Cruz won’t be watching. He’ll be licking Donald Trump’s balls even after what Trump said about this wife in 2016. Adam Silver will have to deal with this as the new NBA economic model emerges beyond the presidential election. How does Adam Silver keep the league solvent without Ted Cruz?
Answer…he gets past the coronavirus and fills up his stands with humans again. Just like in hockey, baseball, and football.
Tyler, Duncan…shoot the ball. Shoot the damn ball.
Ted Cruz followers basically put this naked pic of the FLOTUS Escort in an attack ad in 2016. I’m almost certain the Slovenian tits have been modified since this pic. Trump then called Heidi Cruz a fat ugly pig. Cruz then whined liked the complete bitch he truly is as a ‘man’. Cruz eventually got down on his knees, took Donald Trump in his mouth….and we all know what happened after that. Both he and Lindsey Graham then went to Moscow with Trump and the POTUS urinated on both of them in a Moscow hotel room. That was for Dan Jenkins up in heaven. I love you, dude.
Whew… I don’t know if I could be a Christian evangelical. It must be exhausting.
We lost a great one this week. Maybe on Sunday morning I’ll do my Top 10 Val Halen songs. Eddie—you were a stud hoss, dude. Panama clearly will be in my top three Van Halen songs. Be at peace, my friend.
