BOSTON BRUINS ADVANCE, Thunder Extend Jazz to Game 6, 107-99

Well, I was wrong, after the Boston Bruins scored four third period goals to rally against the upstart Toronto Maple Leafs, I went ahead and watched the second half of the Thunder game live and with the volume not muted of all things.

I know, what the fuck. Maybe it was the euphoria of those four Bruin goals which had me feeling giddy and somewhat above the doom of what has become this Thunder’s Season of Hell tour.

Ten seconds on Fox and I kid you not Brian Davis said something stupid, yet the volume stayed. I was in that good of a mood. My wife had to come in and tell me I was too loud for the neighborhood twice during that Bruin goal outburst. I was walking on sunshine, baby.

So I sit and watch as the Thunder fall 25 points behind the Utah Jazz with something like eight minutes or so left in the third period and wondering to myself which Thunder player will get ejected first as this season mercifully comes to an end.

But then the oddest thing happened…Russell Westbrook made two three point shots and Rudy Gobert got his fifth foul and had to leave the floor. Then Westbrook went from being Rickey Rubio’s bitch in this series to being Rickey Vaughn and fuck me if I didn’t see this with my very own two eyes this fucking team of dysfunction somehow followed Westbrook’s lead and rose from the ashes of death to somehow beat the Utah Jazz by a score of 107-99 inside of a Chesapeake Arena gathering of witnesses who like me–had to be in complete disbelief as to what they just witnessed.

I swear to God…my father in heaven said to me from aove,”This is really happening, Michael me boy.” It was this kind of ethereal out of body experience.

Russell Westbrook never left the floor the second half. Wild Thing played all 24 minutes and made my heart sing. It was like nothing I’ve ever seen before in sports. It was like watching Tin Cup hole that 235 yard 3-wood to make a 12 at the U.S. Open.

Russell Westbrook hit a fucking three wood over the water and it went into the hole for a 12. And here I sit as a grown man blogger feeling like the Thunder just won the NBA Championship even though the reality of Game 6 in Salt Lake with Mitt Romney trolling Russell isn’t beyond the realm.

If nothing else..in the spirit of Westbrook I’m going to drop more fucking F bombs on here today than ever before written anywhere on the Internet in the spirit of Russell Westbrook’s second half.

If ever 24 minutes of play symbolized why you cannot in your heart love Russell Westbrook even when you wanted to strangle him an hour earlier these were those 24 minutes.

This was our championship moment in Oklahoma City. Fuck Kevin Durant—who said you can’t win it all in Oklahoma City.

You know what else happened in that second half…Paul George ended up scoring 34 points of his own to go along with Wild Thing’s 45 points.

One other thing happened… amidst Billy Donovan being fired on Twitter when the Thunder were down by 25 points–Donovan and Mo Cheeks finally benched Carmelo Anthony long enough for the Thunder to get the lead and extend this series.

Note to Billy Donovan—you were fired last night on Twitter while the game was still going on. You have nothing to lose in Game 6. For the love of God as a coach please do the right thing with Carmelo Anthony’s minutes.

So, I guess I’ll torture myself and watch Game 6 with the sound on Fox.

Why the fuck not ’cause right now I’m walking on sunshine and even this Thunder team which can’t get eliminated like a normal group of humans is still alive in the NBA Playoffs.

In closing, I’ll tell you what—if these motherfuckers go to Salt Lake and win Game 6 I’ll be the first guy lined up against that chain link fence at Will Rogers Airport when their flight home lands.

Fuck it. This is for the Mitt Romney Northwest Division Trophy as far as I’m concerned.

LET’S GO THUNDER!
