I’ll be back in the cockpit tonight here at the premier OKC Thunder underground blog in the world tonight as the surging Thunder visit the Hawks in Atlanta.
But first…I want to congratulate the woeful Detroit Pistons for breaking their historic/ pathetic 28 game losing streak the other night.
I watched every bit of this game on the NBA Network and it was emotionally moving to see these guys finally win another NBA regular season season.
Several Oklahoma ties to this historically bad Pistons’ team.
Cade Cunningham…the very same O State national player of the year who I covered on this blog with my astute and spot on takes in the Cade Cunningham Journal.
Monty Williams…the former OKC Thunder assistant and former Phoenix head coach who took the Suns to their magical NBA Finals appearance a couple of years ago. And, of course, Troy Weaver, the same Troy Weaver who learned the art of tanking shamelessly from Sam Presti to rebuild a roster depleted of winning NBA talent.
We all thought those days of tanking shamelessly were going to be behind the Pistons this year, yet here they stand at 3-30 or something near that on January 3rd.
Pray for the Pistons.
I’m amped to be back for the Thunder’s game tonight in Atlanta. I know Little Nick Gallo and sports brodcasing’s biggest homer Michael Cage are already visualizing the championship parade in downtown Oklahoma City…so maybe a mature, heady presence will help keep some of this in perspective.
Keep it up, Thunder.
I thought the Nashville Country Music Bash on New Year’s Eve was pretty good, but too much Lainey Wilson. This one below caught my eye as the best presentation and I’ve included it into my workout music list. Elle King did Tom Petty proud. Go girl.
