Thunderstruck

The first words out of my mouth this morning were "You missed an awesome game."

Last night's Thunder game was amazing. Even if you aren't a Thunder fan, you just have to appreciate that level of basketball. It was close enough throughout the game that you actually believed there was a chance - we're all at home on our couches chanting "Come on guys, come on!" and then, at the very, very end they pulled out the win. Ah-mazing.

I normally don't mind, actually kind of like, that my husband goes to bed so early. But not last night - that was so not a game that should have been watched alone. I don't know, I just felt like I needed someone to share in the excitement with me. It's just not the same when you high-five yourself...

I went to bed right after so I didn't watch any of the post-game interviews but I did hear it on the radio coming in to work this morning.  And I totally get the emotion behind it, but really Doc Rivers? There were a ton of bad calls during game 4 - a ton! Could they have changed the course of the game? Yes, but that's just part of the game. Disappointing and sometimes unfair...but generally understood and accepted.  Not to mention they didn't call the foul! So let's just say they did give the ball to the Clippers and they won - who would have been robbed then?

So his take was kinda interesting...I'm sure all coaches have felt that way but it kinda felt like bad sportsmanship to me. And apparently the NBA agrees since they've slapped him with a fine.

Either way, these games are good and only going to get more intense. Let's get a win for game 6 and close this out!
