So yesterday…I strut into the gym proudly wearing my powder blue Jamal Murray jersey amongst a sea of Thunder dudes. They have come to love me however because of my tenacious work ethic in the room. They love MJ.
So….one of them hoots, ” MJ…you must be very, very happy today and livin’ the good life.”
I give them the Hang Loose sign with my right hand and and reply, “Ya, MJ is very happy. Very happy that I no longer have to grind my teeth watching Thunder bullshit with Josh Giddey still starting when in fact he should be the 8th or 9th guy in the rotation. MJ told you guys this would be the way it goes.”
This starts all of them on their individual greivances with Coach Mark and the whole Josh Giddey bullshit situation.
I smile to myself and whisper to self…”Fuck with them a little bit, MJ. Have some fun.”
So I say out loud while bearing down on the terrain bike, ” Ya….Maybe Coach Mark will start either Gunnar Gundy or Little Nick Gallo ahead of Aaron Wiggins this time.”
They go berserk. MJ loves it.
Let me share something with you….’There is a fine line between bullshitting and lying”, it is up to you the reader to decide if this is how it actually went on Monday inside ‘The Room’.
However it goes…this is my story and I’m sticking with it.
Long story short…Shai’s gritty performance saved the Thunder from Coach Mark’s pathetic decision to keep starting Josh Giddey.
But me? I’m lazored in on Game 5 tonight in Denver.
I couldn’t give a f–k what Coach Mark does or doesn’t do. Fool me once, it’s on you. Fool me twice…it’s on me.
Eternal peace, MJ.
Be happy.
LET’S GO NUGGETS!!!!
