Let’s Talk Cake: I Am Smarter Than Zach Harper And Jared Wade (Or “The Thunder Are Good. Duh.”)

Oh, foolish boys. How you should know better.

You see, rounds about November of this year, the Thunder looked pretty good! You were seeing some of the things that got them to where they are now. I felt really good about that team with the way Westbrook was playing, their defense, Jeff Green, and that feller they call Durantula.

But Jared Wade and Zach Harper? Not. So. Much.

We got into a Twitter debate about the team, with Harper particularly mouthing off about how there’s no way they would make the playoffs. “Too young!” he cried. They asked how many wins they would need to make the playoffs. I said 46. They laughed. No way. And then the bet happened. I would love to link you to it, but Twitter doesn’t index searches that far back. The bet?

“If the Thunder make the playoffs, I’ll buy you a cake.” The other cosigned this. I said no way, because the West was so tough, they could win 46 games and not make the playoffs. The agreement? If the Thunder win 46 games, they buy me a cake.

The Thunder have 45 wins and face Boston tonight.

We’re officially on CakeWatch.

Now, I’d originally stipulated that if I won the cake bet, they’d have to buy me a cake in the shape of Greg Oden’s fractured patella, not to drive the stake into Oden’s career or the hearts of Blazers fans over the decision to draft Oden over Durant, but simply to punish Harper for this. Paroxi-wife naturally threw a fit, being the sensitive soul that she is, so instead, WHEN, not IF the Thunder win that 46th game, they will be having a cake made for me in this shape: DURANTULA!

I will naturally be videotaping the cake and the eating thereof and posting it on here.

Do not trifle with me mortals, you know not what you do.

It’s cake time. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. But soon. Very soon.

Never mess with the big dog, because the big dog is always right.
