Chet was outstanding in the Thunder’s 136-104 rout in Cleveland today on MLK Day. He’s been very impressive of late and I would now agree he should be selcted as an All-Star reserve when the remainder of the rosters are named on February. I loved the manner in which he ran the court from baseline to baseline and showed genuine passion in the defensive zone on a day when the Thunder were missing four rotational players in the second half.
This will be brief and to the point since we’re not long from kick-off in Miami at Hard Rock. Chet’s line was 28 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocked shots and a stellar +34.
Lu Dort was my No. 2 Star making six of seven shots and going a +34 himself. I also liked the fact Lu threw the ball back at Cleveland Cav prima donna Donovan Mitchell after the before mentioned intiated this incident. Double technical…so in no way did Lu hurt his team by his action. You cannot allow guys like Donovan Mitchell to challenge your sovereignty on the floor when you’re one of the league’s defensive aces. Nice job there, Lu. I’m marking that down on my TSNBS metric sheet for my end of year awards in this regard.
Since this is MLK Day… I thought I would feature the above video. The First Eight is a current best seller on the NY Times bestseller list. I know this is Oklahoma and most of you don’t read and have much intellectual curiosity whatsoever, but you know…learning something about American history not suggested by Ryan Walters won’t at this time get you arrested in Oklahoma. What could it hurt? Seriously.
Enjoy the national championship game and maybe the book.
