Tanking Thunder Begin ‘Training’ Camp

Yawn. How sad it is Sam Presti’s version of sustainability has come to this in the mecca of American domestic terrorism and adult illiteracy.

Sustainable…..color me dubious for certain.

The things Sam Anderson didn’t write in Boom Town could easily make for another book calulating the Thunder’s symbiotic demise with the cultural abyss known as Oklahoma.

Perhaps at some point Senator Markwayne Mullin and some of hie more fervent Q supporters will purchase the Thunder. Glass half-full, right?

For the sixth time since Clay Bennett and Aubrey McClendon purchased the Seattle Super-Sonics then kidnapped the franchise to Oklahoma City the Thunder will shamelessly tank away another NBA basketball season.

Vegas has moved the hapless Thunder down to 21.5 seasonal wins for the time being. I would agree and move them down from 24.5 to 20.5 on my sheet given it apppers Shai Gilgeous-Alexander the max player who never plays probably won’t cross thwe barrier of forty games played this NBA season. This cat has to be the most rested player in the league at this point who basically never plays. Which is somewhat sad.

I have no idea what I’m going to write abut this season in relation to the Thunder given the domain of my blog is okcthunderground.com. But I’ll wing it and follow the new arena versus moving the team to markets like Seattle and Las Vegas who actually make sense as an NBA city.

I’ll cover not only the Golden State Warriors, but the Colorado Avalanche on my blog this season. You know…real professional sports team with real coaches and real general managers. Imagine that.

If Aubrey were still living…I wonder if he’d be calmly sitting by as his team continues to embody the very worst aspect of the NBA as a league.

Which is of course …shamelessly tanking a third consectutive season because his GM didn’t hedge his 2nd pick in the draft by picking a real player with a body which wouldn’t break the first time he played in something akin to a real NBA game where big, fast, strong, black players would take Chet on in the paint.

Have a nice weekend watching college football and the NFL.
