Golden State didn’t play last night. I was wrong. The Western Conference’s first place team plays tonight at New Orleans, then in the second ESPN game we get my other two favorite Western Conference teams in what should be a great matchup with Dallas at Denver.
I’ve moved the Thunder back down to four because their fanbase is genuinely somewhat nasty and snarky.
I’m stoked for tonight though…for certain.
What I did watch last night on TNT was a fantastic two-man scramble golf match between the Charles Barkley-Ken Griffey Jr team and the Bill Murray-Wayne Gretzky team.
What a great golf match which was decided when Gretzky nailed about a ten-footer in sudden death golf for his group to advance.
Charles has genuinely upped his game. He says he’s now a 12 and I believe it watching him putt in this match. Ken Jr. by far has the best swing. Gretzky had the roughest swing, but the guy is just a cold-blooded winner. And I thought Bill Murray’s overall game was excellent. The former loose-lipped looper a.k.a. Carl Spackler was sublime and hilarious keeping Charles within the boundaries of the rules.
The most fun I’ve had watching a golf match since Kenny Lee won the U.S. Open over Donnie Smithern at the U.S. Open in Dead Solid Perfect.
Charles Barkley is a national treasure and should in fact be POTUS 47.
Dead Solid Perfect…mine and John Daly’s all-time No. 1 golf movie. Dan Jenkins at his zenith. His diologue is unbelievable.
Kenny Lee says, “Don’t worry, Grover, if there was a sportswriter in here….Donnie would have already gone down on him.”
Dan Jenkins…you and my Dad–if you only knew how much I miss both of you in these horseshit phony days of the Trump Christians.
It’s good to laugh.
Have a wonderful week-end.
