Oklahoma City Thunder

Gmoney

So sad. To all my basketball loving friends in the upper northwest, im so sorry about this. I was a young kid living in Cleveland when the Browns moved. If you love the team it's a really weird and horrible feeling. I met many of great PJ fans who were Sonic fans. I feel for you, total bullshit!

Thats possibly the worst name for a basketball team I've ever heard.

Ha. Thats my fantasy football team name.



Anyways. Seattle should get an NHL team within the next 4-5 years I would bet the farm on it.
The people of Seattle are too good for the NBA and deserve to watch a real sport.

when i was five my soccer team voted for a name and we ended up the thunder. I think okc used the same method. terrible, just terrible.

I wonder how many times "Thunderstruk" will be played a game?
Every quarter??

It does suck that Seattle lost its team and that it went down the way it did. That being said, anyone who rips on Oklahoma City is really displacing their anger. Bottom line is the citizens of Seattle did not show the support for the team like OKC is. I know because I lived in Tacoma for the past 3 years and went to several Sonics games. I do think they'll get another NBA team but they're going to have to show as much support for that team as they do for the Seahawks and the Mariners.

Very true. I'm happy for OKC, they have proved that they deserve a team. I just hate when a team moves away. Maybe Im bitter from the browns moving years ago but it's just not right! I remember being a young kid, a die hard Browns fan, then they just up and were gone. It's so heartbreaking. I think of some 13 year old kid who was so fired up to get Durant last year, and now, nothing. Horrible.
