Best Place(s) to Watch Game 5?

[Jethrol]

You know, they said we had one of the most intense shoot arounds in practice this afternoon. Think they're spent? Perhaps.

You know, Thunder game out and looked a little off. They didn't seem to have the spark they usually have and were horrible shooting. We just couldn't get anything to drop but you know, sometimes that happens.

In my mind, the only thing that really matters is that we made the playoffs. I know, I've been on a real high after our wins last week games and I really want us to destroy the Lakers. But our guys are human also and perhaps coach Brooks pushed them a bit to hard in practice? I don't know....but something sure seemed off tonight. We didn't rebound at all. Every rebound seem to have ALL the Lakers down there going for the ball.

Like the announcers keep saying....it's the first to 4 not the first to 3. They only held their home court and we still have 2 games to come back.

No matter what, I'm still very, very proud of our team and our players. I don't care that we're struggling....we're also playing really well in other games and we're gaining valuable experience. Sure it's disappointing to lose but nothing, absolutely nothing can tarnish this season. It's been spectacular and very fun to watch. I can't remember a time when I was more proud to be from OKC. The Thunder are a part of that but only a part and I for one think they fit right in here.

and everyone needs to remember....we are playing the lakers...these guys are the world champions.

What about the place in the ballpark? I'd kinda like to be in Bricktown.

That would be Coaches. To me Coaches could easily be the best sports bar in the city if they wanted to be with little effort. I went there about a month ago for the first time in forever and watched a couple of NCAA games. Coaches has so many built in advantages. I had forgotten that they have their own brewery, and apparently so did the waitress when I asked her what beers they had on tap. Anyway, the place is huge and needs no fixing up. Being at the ballpark is an awesome atmospehere that no one else can match. Problems. The food sucks. It was not good at all, one can just tell everything is prepackaged and reheated. The tvs were good back in 1994. I mean really is it that hard to have good tvs. It took BWW forever to figure it out and now they are packed all the time (although it was busy before but mainly bc of lack of competition I think). That place could be so much better with a new tv set up and a chef with a new menu. That being said the place was busy when I was in there. They seem to get so much traffic from just being in bricktown that I dont think it really matters if they try and attract the loacl consumer. Too bad, I would love to go there more often but I just wont. The space is huge, they have their own brewery and they are in the ballpark. So many built in advantages, but sucks they screw up the simple things like good tvs and good food. Rant over.

yeah Brix, Republic and BWW are the obvious choices.

Well, I can confirm that the suggestion for Republic was on target. Absolutely beautiful setup. HUGE screens!
