I watched some of this game in between commericals on the No. 1 rated CNN which has pummeled Fox Fake News of late as they started their Stanley Tucci: In Search of Italy series which I thought was outstanding. Going to spend a vaction in Italy is on my Bucket List so in retrospect I honestly don’t give a shit about the Thunder’s season of tanking just right now.
I’m not into losing when you don’t have to be losing.
I mean…this is so stupid. The whole Sam Presti thing was his deal with SUSTAINABILITY and there’s no reason for Oklahoma City to even be tanking if they’d kept Jerami Grant, Sabonis, and Oladipo from the Serge Ibaka trade haul.
I’m not in any way dissing these current Thunder players. I’ve even on here professed my basketball love for Dort, Kenrich, and Mikey Muscala….but this is just stupid.
Are Shai and Maledon even really hurt or is this more Thunder mystery bullshit?
If you gave me two free tickets to the Thunder right now versus me paying for tickets to go watch Lon Kruger’s trending Sooners…I’d pay to go see the Sooners and pass on the free Thunder tickets.
What is this bullshit? Is there an official statement on SGA and Maledon as to when they might return? Has Little Nick Gallo relayed this world secret to the public and I missed it because I haven’t really been paying attention?
I could care less about George Hill because he’s gone at the trade deadline.
It’s too much to accept the tanking and not be able to see two of the key parts of the alleged rebuild sitting unless they have tested positive for Covid or have serious injuries.
From what I saw of this game former NC Tar Heel Justin Jackson would be my player of the game. I saw him play for Roy Williams in college and it’s good to see him back on track in pursuit of an NBA career.
Even though I have a domain named okcthunderground.com…the Thunder are a fourth tier storyline right now sports wise on my blog: I’d go… 1 OU Sooners hoops, 2 Cade and O State, 3 Stanley Tucci’s In Search of Italy…then 4 the ‘sustaining’ tanking OKC Thunder…maybe 5 the Dallas Stars and their streaking power play. The Stars made it to the Stanley Cup Finals last season…. just saying.
And of course…Lincoln Riley might have the most talented roster at OU since Coach Stoops won his national championship. I’ll do spring football if these guys can’t get their heads right and win the tanking battle leading into the NBA draft.
The lack of focus concerns me.
The Thunder can’t even lose when they’re supposed to lose. Stanley Tucci could grow on me. He’s not Anthony Bourdain..that’s for certain, but who could be?
I wonder if they have Waffle Houses in Italy?
You have not lived until you’ve been at the Waffle House on Memorial Road in Oklahoma City at 2:00am on the same night Floyd Merriweather beat Conor McGregor’s ass…and you’re the only white guy inside the jammed pack building… at the counter no less. It was one of the ten best sports nights of my life. On that same night we saw Clayton Kershaw pitch for the OKC Dodgers on a rehab assignment.
