We’re back from the beaches of Alabama and Florida. I feel rested and serene. I did not watch ONE NBA Playoff game during our 13-day journey. Nor did I watch One Word come out of Donald Trump’s mouth as well.
And I will say this, due to the above latter…I think this is the best I’ve felt in the past two-three years during my cancer journey.
I did watch five minutes of the Thunder’s Game 1 route over the Memphis Grizzlies and henceforth did not watch anymore of that series because that was the one series I was bullish on from the start of this year’s bracket which I thought would be a four game sweep.
It was a mismatch, much like OKC’s first round stroll past the Pelicans last season.. There’s no point to analyze those four games. The Thunder will next face either Denver or the LA Clippers, and that for me will be a good way to start ebbing back into the flow of covering the NBA Playoffs.
Both Denver and Golden State are hanging in there as their first round series…so I think I’ll follow both of those series leading into the winner’s conference semi-final against the much ballyhooecd and daunted OKC Thunder.
I can’t wait. I’m reset from the long 82-game regular season and the tough chemo regimen and this is when it should matter most for players, fans, and bloggers as we hit our stride entering the goal acheiving portion of the NBA Playoff Championship Playoffs.
It’s time for the OKC Thunder and their fandom to prove the talk and walk the proverbial walk.
I need to go mow the mini-ranch before it starts raining again tomorrow.
Enjoy the dry Monday, Oklahoma.
Peace, MJ.
