I was wondering who the OKC Thunder was. I'd never heard of them befoer this year.

Why not keep the name "Supersonics"? They had a proud history, IIRC.

Death threats?

Over t-shirts?

Seriously?

If true, some people need to go to jail for a long, long time.

I was never interested in the NBA until we got a franchise here. Have nothing against any Seattle people or "Supersonics" people either...

That said, if you don't understand the use of the name "Thunder" you've never experienced an Oklahoma thunderstorm.

No problem. We've got a really good bassitball team here, and they all seem like pretty good guys too at least as far as I can tell. We're having a blast watching them play.

LOL @ Seattle fans serving up a new bottle of Seattle Whine.

Add "unhinged" descriptor now to their "delusional whining loser" rep.

After the game there was a shooting in the street 8 people hurt.

I guess the Sonic’s brought some of their quality fan’s with them.

Seattle ... jet aircraft ... Supersonics
OKC ... tornados and other storms ... Thunder

Hell, the Lakers kept the nickname that was borne when the franchise was in Minneapolis, which, apparently, has lots of lakes. Does Los Angeles?

I think the shirts are hilarious! The maker should grow a spine and keep selling them.

Liz Warren says she’s an Okie down to her toes. Who does she cheer for (she should be asked) if the final is Bos Celtics vs OKC Thunder?
