This is what MJ wants to see more of in our NBA Playoffs in 2025. This is the passion, the urgency, and the physicality the pussiest league in pro sports sorely needs more of so as the TV ratings keep the league relevant.
This is why MJ in no way fretted missing OKC’s predictable first round sweep over the the docile Memphis Grizzlies. This is why we spent time on the beaches in Seaside, Water Color, Perdido, Florabama, Orange Beach, and Alabama Point. Plus, of course, we got to spend the most meaningful Easter of my life with our family in the very Seaside church Chris and Elaine were married in almost ten years ago.
This is why an experinced NBA blogger like myself…so much different than the sissy fairies who allegedly cover the NBA for the Daily Thunder….could never understand or even want to understand.
This kind of violence and gamesmenship is what Adam Silver sorely needs in the NBA game to evolve back to in the regular season. Nobody really gives a shit about the now two year old regular season tournament.
Nobody.
This is what real NBA fans want to see… more CARING from their players and the oppossition players during the too long 82-game regular season.
I wonder if the Thunder can be mentally tough and salty enough when they start playing real NBA Top 8 level talent in this year’s playoffs?
The truth of the matter is…in the SGA era the Thunder have still yet to win a playoff series over what I would consider a legitimate NBA playoff caliber team. This isn’t in any way a knock at the Thunder’s extremely talented roster, just a truthful observation from an objective NBA blogger on in reality the only OKC Thunder blog which in fact writes the objective truth in its Thunder content pieces.
Michael Dunleavy Jr. right now is possibly looking like the GM who won the trade deadline if he can keep Steph and Jimmy Butler healthy…and keep Draymond Green within the Zone of Reason.
BTW…that was a picture pefect screen Draymond set on the play which for some reason got under the skin of the youngish Rockets. That was an NBA Playoffs screen. Good job, Draymond.
To me…the Denver-LA Clippers and the Warriors-Rockets are so far the two series which have captivated my interest.
Be careful in Stillwater and eastern Oklahoma today and don’t be that dumbass who drives into standing water. Seriously…be smarter than the water.
This is for the crazies at Orange Beach and Florabama Beach. I’ll say this…thank god I never went to either of those beaches during my college days because I never would have lived through it to become an old man. I love their spirit there on the Alabama-Florida line. Truly.
Peace, MJ.
