OKC Thunder 2013 - 2014

[Easy180]

He wouldn't sign the contract extension though as 13/14 million a year wasn't enough. That just means other guys have to step up and play better.

Most definitely several players will need to ramp up their scoring but ole KD will never see an open jump shot without Westbrook in there...He will have two to three bodyguards escorting him at all times until Westbrook gets going again lol

I was watching this recap of the Thunder/Sixers pre-season game



and I heard the narrator say something quite interesting:

"... they're watching Durant drive and kick out to Jeremy Lin who gets it back to Durant..."

Holy cow, he has Jeremy Lin on the Thunder now!

Of course, he meant to say Jeremy Lamb. But he clearly says Lin. Had something else on his mind, I guess.

[Thundercitizen]

Thought he said Jeremy Limb.

Hopefully Ibaka actually develops a real back-to-the-basket game that takes some pressure off.

Daniel Orton waived by the Thunder.

[OKCisOK4me]

I revise my win statement to 57 games...cause losing Daniel Orton is huge (sarcasm...since it's not catching on).

[OKCisOK4me]

Not really something I wanted to post:

Kendrick Perkins Accused Of Assault - News9.com - Oklahoma City, OK - News, Weather, Video and Sports |

Apparently it happened on July 20th...why just now come out with it. Who knows...

[Teo9969]

Well that's annoying....but it's not really going to result in anything.

[OKCisOK4me]

Yeah, I don't think it will either. I'm trying to play out the scene in my head and I know that if I had been there, I would have been filming it and laughing my butt off!

[Sonny_Crockett]

Those morons over on ESPN are claiming Miami is winning it all this year, next year, the year after etc. That network is a total joke. At least NBA TV analysts think that someone from the East this season (Chicago/Indiana/Brooklyn) could beat the Heat.

I'm a bit optimistic on the Thunder's chances this year. They may be a #3 or #4 seed this year in the playoffs. Lets hope Russ gets back to 110% and Durant shoots lights out etc.

[OKCisOK4me]

If they end up a 3 seed, I'll be happy. I think it's gonna be a dog fight for that 8th spot and that the top 4 seeds may only be separated by 1.5 games each. As for the prediction about the Heat, if they stay intact, that very well could be the case.

Yep, chances are, everybody within a 2 mile radius of that bar was drunk out of their mind and won't be a reliable witness to anything. Look for this one to be settled out of court since Perk wants to get it over with and back to playing basketball.

[BoulderSooner]

they are going to win 60 again

Oklahoma City Thunder to rebuild basketball courts at three schools destroyed by tornado - NBA News | FOX Sports on MSN

The communities near Oklahoma City hit hard by the May 20 tornado can say that “Thunder cares” is more than just a phrase used by the NBA club to burnish its image.

On Sunday, the Thunder announced the club will rebuild three outdoor basketball courts at schools destroyed by the tornado. Briarwood Elementary, Plaza Towers Elementary and Highland East Junior High School will get new courts, featuring a Thunder look. The funds are coming from the Thunder Cares Foundation.

That is nice and all but what is a Thunder look?

I believe they've done a court at a local park, and put their logo at center court.....

Stupid idea unless the Thunder team is playing on it

I would bet the kids that will be playing on them disagree with you. And the kids is what it's all about.

[Bellaboo]

??? You make no sense at all.....

[MonkeesFan]

??? You make no sense at all.....

Not really because some kids could be a fan of other team and refuse to play on it because they hate the Thunder and refuse to play on the court because of the Thunder logo on the court so that is why it is a stupid idea

[adaniel]

I really don't think most kids are as petty as this. And if they are, they need to get over it.

Of course, if you are concerned about neutrality on youth basketball courts, you are more than welcome to put up your own money to build these.

Sure, I would put a Orlando Magic logo on the court

[Teo9969]

they're outdoor parks...it's not like we're talking about the gym.

It does not matter where, it is still a basketball court with the Thunder logo on it
