If you're going to come here and throw those kinds of statements around... at least make them legitimate."<BR/><BR/>OK fine, you're right - the Thunder are going to have a tremendous season. Their 1-5 start is statistically insignificant and has no bearing on the fantastic winning streak that is soon to come. And I'm sure that once you start winning with regularity, you'll have no problem selling out games.<BR/><BR/>"Seattle's two remaining major league teams are two of the worst in their respective leagues which makes you sound like a complete hypocrite when you put ours down....idiot."<BR/><BR/>No, it doesn't make me sound like a hypocrite. It makes YOU sound like a retard who brings up completely irrelevant facts just to put my city down. This is a board about the NBA and, more specifically, the "Thunder." I could care less how the Seahawks and Huskies are doing. It has no bearing on this discussion. Now, if Seattle and OKC BOTH had NBA teams, and both were terrible, and I still insulted the OKC team, then THAT would make me a hypocrite. <BR/><BR/>I hope you guys are content to watch your team toil in mediocrity (at best) until it leaves for a bigger city in 10 years.<BR/><BR/>1) OKC is BY FAR the least attractive market for free agents. Smallest media market, most conservative population, least cosmopolitan city.<BR/>2) Aubrey and Tom Ward both lost over 70% of their net worth in the past month. Yes, they are still rich...but no longer rich enough to spend indiscriminately to support a hobby. If Aubrey had that much cash lying around, he would have stopped the bank from selling all his stock in CHK. <BR/><BR/>Do you think these guys will be willing to pony up for a max-contract free agent? Do you think they'll be able to give KD a max deal in 2011? Do you think KD would have any reason to stick around in your cowtown? Nike is reportedly offering LeBron a huge bonus if he signs with NY. How do you think they feel about KD being in OKC??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042165194672261405.post-79410057661629048522008-11-10T15:26:00.000-06:002008-11-10T15:26:00.000-06:00The Atlanta Hawks too!

Do you think people would be showing up to support the Thunder if they had an owner from North Dakota who had already publicly announced his intention to move the team and traded away every good player??<BR/><BR/>It is absolutely insane to compare attendance in OKC this year to attendance in Seattle last year. What you should be comparing is this year's OKC attendance to what one might reasonably expect for a team in its first year in a supposedly basketball-crazed city. I find it shocking that you haven't managed to sell out every game with ease. Back in the Sonics' glory days, tickets for the entire season were sold out by November. You had no chance of buying tix at the box office the day of the game. That's what a real basketball city looks like (not to mention an economically thriving city). <BR/><BR/>Funny you should say "Karma's a bitch." What exactly has Seattle done to merit such karma? And how are Aubrey and Tom Ward's bank accounts looking? If you do believe in karma, that would be the place to look.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042165194672261405.post-14038052804050278862008-11-10T09:49:00.000-06:002008-11-10T09:49:00.000-06:00What is pitiful, is that this guy comes to this Th...What is pitiful, is that this guy comes to this Thunder blog to pick fights because apparently there isn't anything to do otherwise in Seattle.

I guess he doesn't realize that turnstile attendance was less than 10,000 a game in Seattle last year.....of course he doesn't know because he didn't go to the games and support the team, just like the rest of Seattle. OKC is averaging over 18,000 through the gate. Here's how the Atlanta Journal-Constitution described the crowd last night......"before a thunderous crowd of 18,231".<BR/><BR/>How are sports in Seattle these days?

Actually, I can sort of sympathize with you, because last year there were SO many games where it looked like we might have a chance, and then suddenly the opponent realized "F*** it, it's time to take this seriously" and proceeded to handle the Sonics down the stretch. Get used to being deluded into thinking you have a chance, only to be painfully reminded that you have BY FAR the worst roster in the NBA. It will take YEARS to recover from the intentional tankjob Bennett pulled in Seattle last year.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I also thought this was a cute quote: "This will be a game that at the end of the year, the Thunder looks back on and says, 'We should have had that one.'"<BR/><BR/>Yes, I'm sure the Sonics will look back at the end of the season and lament this loss. They'll look back and realize with dismay that if they could have just held on and won this game against "one of the best team's in the East" then they would have upped their season win total from 13 to 14.<BR/><BR/>You write like a freaking 4th grader, and your basketball insight is nonexistent. I wish there was a legitimate Thunder blog somewhere out there, so I could actually pick fights with people who cared about basketball. Instead, I'm left with no option but to come to your pitiful blog and rip on your posts just so you get some comments.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, one last thing - it makes me sick to my stomach to see that, once again, you failed to sell out the arena. You guys have been short of capacity in HALF of your home games. What happened to the whole notion of OKC being a better home for the Sonics because it had fans who would support the team???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
