Really doesn't matter at this point; OKC Thunder is continuing to improve and if we should open against the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz or the Phoenix Suns the Thunder is going to make some noise and so will the Ford Center.

Let's hope the arena roof is stable enough to control the crowd noise that going to occur our opening night of the playoffs.

I would just as soon take on the Lakers or Mavericks.

Scott Brooks & the Oklahoma City Thunder will be ready!

Heck yeah, let's knock out LA or Dallas first round. THAT will get some heads turning to OKC.

l just hope these people stay for the entire games. damn, i hate seeing a large chunk of people get up and leave with about 3 minutes left in the game, whether winning or losing.

People leave to avoid traffic, and that is a good thing. What counts is being there to show your support. No one is forced to stay the entire game.

Everyone leaves to avoid traffic? I usually stay to the end of whatever I am watching and then sit around for a few extra minutes afterwords. That gives the people that leave early a good 20 minutes to get out of my way.

I was at a Devil Rays game once and the guy I was with wanted to leave early. I said, "Why, isn't my ticket good for the whole game?"

I never understood why anyone would want to leave early. People go through the time, expense, and anticipation of going to the game and then leave early. That is not logical. People need to relax and enjoy life, not try and rush to the next activity.

I am going to have to disagree. I've stayed for many games till the end and more and I have left many games early. Traffic has never been an issue when wanting to leave early. Sometimes I am fed up with the performance if we are getting blown out. Sometimes I am tired and do I really want to stick around and watch Etan Thomas and the rest of the bench play? And if someone leaves early its not my business. They got thier enjoyment out of the experience and if they want to go no onen is forcing them to stay to justify thier ticket price and thier travel time. People leave early no matter what. It happens in any game in any sport when the score isnt close.

Blown out at home? There was only the one loss against Boston back in December that could be considered a home game blow out...

Watching the bench play, gives you a great indication of how deep the team is and how well they are going to do in the playoffs.

OK maybe more blow outs happened last year but this year sometimes the effort just wasn't there and I didn't want to stay around.

When I go to the movies people get up to leave the second "The End" appears. They went to the movies to escape reality and then they rush to get right back into it. People stand shoulder to shoulder trying to get out, wait in lines in the bathroom, then honk their horns trying to leave the parking lot. Total sheep.

I watch the end credits and leave crowd free. What's the rush?

I'm the same way, Kerry. Never understand why people are so dead set on getting back home a few minutes earlier. I always like to stay a few minutes past the end of the game/concert/movie. If I get home earlier, I sit on my butt and watch tv. What's the rush to do that?

Nothing is like celebrating the thrill of victory or meditating after the agony of defeat--it's just a game.
