Basically, what the Boston Red Sox just did was travel to Houston and beat the defending world champions three straight games in their ball park. And the Bosox did it in stunning style as previous post season no show David Price perhaps pitched the best game of his professional career in outdueling Justin Verlander.
It was stunning. No one saw this coming in this game to this degree with this much on the line at this time of the year.
So what is coaching at the professional level?
Vince Lombardi the iconic coach of the Green Bay Packers once said of coaching, “Guys who can draw up plays are on every street corner. Show me that unique coach who can reach his players as humans and motivate them every day and every week and I’ll show you a guy who wins big every year.”
“That’s coaching, men. That’s life.”
Not complex.
Do you realize since Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook stopped listening to Billy Donovan in Game 5 in 2016 against the Warriors that the Oklahoma City Thunder is 3-11 in post season play?
3-11.
Maybe I just see sports from another prism which doesn’t exist in Sam Presti’s vision of sustainability in Oklahoma City. It could just be me.
It’s just probably me.
What do you think Alex Cora would have said to Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook back in 2016 with his team leading the Warriors 3-1?
What would he have said?
Thank you, Ruthie Polinsky. Maybe you could come to Oklahoma City and replace Nick Gallo as Thunder team mom.
