I AM WHIPPED. But what a great Christmas! The Warriors-Denver game was the icing on the cake of a very special Christmas for me. I’m heading to bed before this Niner-Raven game even kicks off.
We had a great meal of BBQ catered from Earl’s at my Mom’s and I probably had a little more wine than Dr. Showalter would be happy with…but WTF…sometimes you just have to flow with the moment and let it go.
The Warriors vs. Nuggets game was superb. Like a second round playoff game. Steph had an off shooting night, otherwise I think America’s team would have extended ‘our’ winning streak to six games.
But in defeat…you always look for the positive. Andrew Wiggins for the first time in quite a while played with something resembling a pulse. The youngsters….Johhny K, Brandon, TJD, and Moses continued to shine.
I’m at this point I’m not even concerned if Draymond plays again this season. The NBA and Adam Silver’s Christmas elves should take as long as it takes to find out what exactly made Draymond crazy and then treat that mental ailment accordingly.
I wore my fake ESPN media pullover and my 2023 Denver NBA Championship hat today as I cheered wildly for the Warriors.
My exexcutive producer here at okcthunderground.com, TCullpepper…. was hissing “Traitor” at me at me at several juctures in the game. I think the podcast might be in jeopardy. But it is what it is.
When I see the ownership in Oklahoma City with a willingness to keep the three dudes…maybe I’ll have a change of heart.
I love the AAA OKC Dodgers, but the OKC Dodgers didn’t demand for a billion dollar arena to facilitate a developmental operation.
In know what Sam Presti always says…”Scared money don’t make money.”
Well…I would say to Sam Presti and Thunder loyalists…show me you learned something from the Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden era.
Show me you’re committed to seriously contending for an NBA championship in Oklahoma City.
Enough of that.
Have a beautiful last week of 2023.
Yeah… I watched Sleepless in Seattle again last night.
