I’m thrilled the Nuggets played so well last night in Game 5. They’re now completely back in control of their own destiny. One more win and they become the first first team in six years to get back to a confernce championship game as the defending NBA champion.
Every Nugget played well last night minus Michael Porter who has now struggled in two straight games. Here’s the good new though…both Justin Holiday and Christian Braun came off the bench and were excellent in crunch time. Coach Malone kept Reggie Jackson on the very short leash I knew he would as a championship coach. Peyton Watson never saw the floor. This is how real coaches handle their rotations this time of the year.
My three Nugget stars went like this…1 Nicola, 2 Aaron, and 3 KCP. I thought this was by far KCP’s best game in post season. He had some air to his game last night. Little Bad Dude didn’t seem to have so much to say after this loss. Know what I mean? You’re either a real tough guy or a fake tough guy. I love this kid…but this learning experience I hope brings him along as a complete basketball player.
Thunder play the Mavs tonight in OKC in Game 5. We’ll see how Coach Mark handles his starting lineup and total minutes distribution.
As Donald Trump slithers down this latest rabbit hole with the Stormy Daniels deal…I honestly could care less. When you live in a state like Oklahoma which is right right there with Mississippi with the worst educational system in the country…you learn to live with this bullshit.
I would guess Trump will win Oklahoma by a 76-82% plurality.
Whatever.
Here’s what I can control…my sense of justice, my bank of wisdom, my objective knowledge, my sense of the truth…and my effort to be compassionate.
Beyond, that…as I’ve learned these past eight years in Oklahoma—it’s probably a waste of time writing much or saying much about Donald Trump. It would be like pissing into the wind. Literally.
Know what I mean?
Have a great Wednesday.
Peace, MJ.
