This game was simply amazing.
I almost turned it off four different times because the level of play by both teams was bordering on dumpster fire shit show level. But I could not turn it off and go to bed.
It was like watching a ‘normal’ day of chaos in this second Trump dictatorship.
Chaos on almost every possession. Over 45 combined turnovers by both teams.
The Nuggets without Nikola, Jamal, Julian Strawther, and the ever gritty Christian Braun. Denver was without four of their top seven rotational players and Aaron Gordon was a game time decision.
Meanwhile…the Warriors entered this game at home as the hottest team in the league with something very much to play for in their attempt to secure a higher seed in the goofy Western Conference.
And who better than Russell Westbrook to stand tall amongst all this dysfunction in San Franciso last night and deliever a Hall of Fame level triple double to carry his team on his back along with Aaron Gordon and Michael Porter Jr.
For god’s sake Russell went 12 pts, 11 rbs, and 16 assists on the night. Sublime does not adequately decribed the clutch in Russell’s play last night when it appeared the Nuggets would take an automatic loss.
Like MJ, ESPN announcers Michael Breen and Richard Jefferson knew Russell’s trip-dub was beyond amazing.
MJ in Deer Creek at this point is not ashamed to state he loves Russell Westbrook like a John Marshall brother.
And since Russ disdains Trump almost as much as MJ…this SNL newscast from last Staurday is for Russell.
Nuggets at the LA Lakers on Wednesday night. MJ feels as if this all the sudden is a game he has to cover on the blog.
