Interesting Saturday of sport for me. Porter Moser’s Sooners ground out a tough gritty road win over the Cincy Bearcats. My Packers should have beaten the vastly overhyped 49’ers, but beat themselves on four plays which allowed the Niners to escape to the NFC Champipnship Game. Word of advice to the Packer GM….get an NFL level placekicker.
I watched bits and pieces of the Thunder’s exciting road win at Minnesota which basically came down to Anthony Edwards choking on all three free throw attempts with :03.4 left which should have put this game into overtime.
Your alpha simply cannot do that at home in that situation. I would think this loss will sting because the TWolves blew a ten point lead in the fourth quarter. But it is what it is and the Thunder are now one game behind the TWolves for a first place tie in the Western Conference standings.
With each passing Thunder game this season…I would think every passionate NBA fan is coming to the realiztion that the Thunder’s Triplets are special and fit together in a unique manner in which Durant, Westbrook, and Harden never really fit.
Shai, JDub, and Chet meld perfectly. Their games flow and expand each time we see them play together. I still do not understand where Josh Giddey fits in this mix unless he accepts a Sixth Man role. I just don’t see why his minutes aren’t Aaron Wiggins’ minutes given how well all three Triplets pass the ball.
The Triplets don’t really need Giddey. They need Dort for his toughness. I really don’t see the need for Giddey.
Anyway…I’m getting ready to settle in out here in our warm house on the frozen tundra at the Deer Creek ranch and watch what should be two great NFL Divisional Playoff games.
Life is good.
