My goodness. I mean…my goodness. Seriously.
Just when we were almost ready to retire the greatest shooter who has ever played the game after his lackluster game against the Thunder the other night…Steph goes for 46 and 49 points back to back versus Wemby and the Spurs to take the lead in their Group C Pool standings last night in San Antonio.
Hopefully for the sake of some interest in the Emirates NBA Cup tournament this season…we’ll see Steph advance with his Warriors to the championship game.
I think one thing which is hurting Steph versus the Thunder is the game officials are so preoccupied giving Shai every soft foul call imaginable they aren’t reciprocating with Steph. I think what this does in reality is take away from Steph being given the same type of coddled Free Throw Merchant officiating that Shai receives on a nightly basis in the Association.
No way from what I’ve been witnessing does Steph get that last set of free throws in a game against the Thunder…especially in Oklahoma City. No way, no how.
Shai knows this. Sam Presti knows it at well. If someone merly breathes on Shai there’s two free throws coming at the line in front of the Trump rabble which occupy the Pay.Com Arena. Look at those people sometimes close up when the camera is scanning the stands. Scary…right? The zebras in Oke City are terrified of the fake Christian insurrectionists.
So we’ll have to see how the next game between the Warriors and Thunder is called in San Francisco.
But anyway…Steph isn’t dead yet. Far from it.
Is there a greater joy in in an NBA game than when Steph goes off? MJ doesn’t think so.
The Thunder’s game versus the Hornets holds little interest for me this evening. I’ll either be delirious from OU upsetting Alabama on the road as a 6.5 road underdog or I’ll be an emotional trainwreck.
Eternity for forever.
MJ
