Oklahoma City to play preseason game in Tulsa

[El Gato Pollo Loco!!!]

Okay. That was unnecessary...

What was unnecessary? My enjoying your sarcasm, or andy's comments?

[Richard at Remax]

I'll take the 41 home games that count over one preseason game.

Andy.

[Mr. T in OKC]

Andy is obviously not an NBA fan. Otherwise, he would understand that a preseason game is not really a game at all. Its PRACTICE. The fist REAL home game will be in OKC. The first of 41 of them. Sorry Andy, but the Ford Center vote is already over, so there is no sense in trying to convince people to vote no anymore.

We started out with the Lakers playing exhibition games at the Ford Center annually; maybe, just maybe Tulsa will be getting something later.

The Memphis Grizzlies' sale just may be back on E-bay around 2010.

How long did it take you to figure that one out? If a pre-season game is not really a game, but only practice, does that also mean that a post-season game is not really a game, but only practice?

Give Tulsa all the OKC home preseason games, I would love to drive up to T-Town; why not a regular season game or two and not more.

I am with you. In fact I think they should play 20 games here, 20 games in Tulsa, then flip a coin to see which City gets to host the 41st and final regular season game. If you really want to see a bit more of T Town and be fair all at the same time.

Of course, to be really fair, they could just devide the games up and spread them all over the state. No reason to have OKC and Tulsa alone enjoy the fun, or the participant spending sprees (yes, I'm kidding, so please, no piling on by the OKC folk. the Saturday football crowds are more than enough for me. I have no interest in NBA games, preseason or otherwise, ever being held in Lloyd Noble. Now, if they wanna do some outdoor games and mount a floor in the middle of Owen field, that might get entertaining. yeah, still kidding)

On the other hand, had there been a significant interest in Tulsa landing an NBA team, I have to suspect the area is not lacking in folks with the financial ability to have made it happen. Mybe the reason no Tulsa area ownership group materialized is because secretly, those with the ability to make it so wanted a new excuse to come hang with the OKC peeps

There is a very clear difference, Andy. Post-season and regular season games COUNT. Preseason games do not count at all. Its a scrimmage.
