Originally…I was going to cover the Thunder vs. Dallas Mavs game last night, but in all honesty the Thunder without Chet and the Mavs without Luka was a game pretty easily decided by what in reality was a double digit win for Dallas. Add to the fact, I thought Klay was about as bad as I’ve ever seen him play in OKC. Usually, he’s the Thunder slayer, but on this night it was PJ Washington and Kyrie.
So the Thunder by my count without Chet are showing Vegas why they will not be a serious contender if he doesn’t rejoin the team this season. Whenever the Mavs needed to get to the rim… they pretty much got there without too much resistance. If the Hartenstein kid from the Knicks ever actually plays a meaningful number of games, then we’ll all reset our take on the Thunder. But remember…his career stats are based on playing in the East. Kind of like OU playing in the putrid Big 12 vs. the brutally tough SEC West.
These Thunder kids are a great group of guys though who always battle hard and do their best. I know….run back faster, play harder…sigh. I still think the Thunder will win 50+ games in the regular season, but in the NBA nobody beyond home court seeding gives a shit about regular season games.
AARON,..the above video is for you…the one I was referring to in our exchange yesterday. This is Pulitzer Prize winning author Daniel Yuerin. Let me give you and your Trump base a few hints in figuring out the American free enterprise system… generally, unless you inherit wealth…stupid, lazy people don’t do well. There is a Darwinian element to our economy that Bernie Sanders and AOC don’t really understand.
Please watch the video. It’s about an hour in length. Mr. Yuerin will be much more benficial to your knowledge base than wasting anymore of your valuable time defending Donald Trump. Then please read the book. If you need me to buy the book for you and have Amazon send it to you..please send me your address. Then please send the book to Scott and Nancy so as they don’t come across as completely clueless idiots on my blog. I have other books I think you should read as well which might strengthen your writing.
In closing…I feel as if all of us as Americans need to work together to make our country cohesive and better in every way imagineable. We need to work together. The election is over…let’s get it done.
Best wishes, Mike J
