NBA Regular Season 2008-09 Thread

[Magnetic Curses]

but it really brings back memories of going to watch barry sumpter and bill jones play at wharton fieldhouse.

 

I moved to the QC after they moved to The Mark, I heard they sold out during the finals that year (don't know if its true). A big difference from when they had only a couple hundred people their final year.

 

i think the thunder were a pretty big draw until isiah thomas bought the cba and then ruined everything.

 

i remember watching george gervin play for the thunder.

this all reminds me of the faux-outrage by the sports superfans out there when the whole deal went down with the sonics coming to okc. in an effort to make sure everyone knew just how in tune they were with the sports world, people with no connection to seattle would be lamenting the move. you'd log on to espn.com and read "All the sonics' history is gone forever! i feel sympathy pains! - Joe in fort worth, texas"

 

never mind the fact that all the history is still there, waiting in the key arena for some poor owner who doesn't care that he'll only draw 11,000 fans a night.

it reminds me of people who sign internet petitions to bring back TV shows that no one watched. "How could they cancel Firefly after only 11 episodes?" Um, 12 people watched

just like whatever arena the thunder play in will sit empty in few years because no one took the time to learn the name or the directions to the place because no one ever bought tickets. might as well give an nba team to minot, i'm sure a few people on this board would go to games. it may even give the local newspaper a reason to add a sports page.

 

and i lived in seattle for a few years, i had enough time to become a casual fan. i've been to key arena way more than i've been to the united center.

despite the worst record in the league, okc is 10th in percentage of seats filled. a higher percentage than seattle has had in any year this decade. sorry sucker, you're out of your league. go read some chomsky or something and stick to what you're almost knowledgeable about

it should be, it's a novelty. i would hope that old ma and pa dustbowler would come out to support the only pro franchise in the state for the first year or so, but the name and directions will soon be forgotten. they've got a long way to go to catch the charlotte hornets, though.

 

now go yell at some reporter for using too many commas or something.

[imb]

speaking of the hornets, the two years they were here, we outdrew that history-laden sonics franchise each time, even though everyone knew it was only a temporary arrangement. one more strike and you're out

how are you calling balls and strikes, now?

 

i'm sure the sonics were popular whenever it was that they came into being, so slow down there, okie. i'm telling you, it's just not going to work out long-term for okc. the fans always come out for a little while and then they realize that they just aren't much into the whole pro basketball thing because pro basketball, is, by-and-large, for city-dwellers. the novelty will wear off just like the novelty of having a girlfriend will wear off, eventually.

[Magnetic Curses]

or just like the novelty of having directv will wear off, or just like the novelty of being a lawyer will wear off, or just like the novelty of being a late-night college tv comedy star will wear off.

basketball is for city dwellars? oh god, that's hilarious. you mean those fancy city folk like in NY and chicago, that we draw as many fans as?

 

i forgot all about the farms that make up 99 percent of oklahoma city. phew, thank god they installed parking areas for everyone to tie up their horses and wagons at the ford center.

 

another swing and a miss, i guess it's back to complaining about refs in the college basketball threads for you

you can't even spell city-dwellers, what makes you think that you could ever measure up to one? i think i hear a dingo eating your baby.

you mean coyote, which im assuming exists in wisconsin, too. accept your inner hick, you're worse off than an oklahoman

yeah, but coyote doesn't sound right. actually, we probably have more coyotes because we don't hunt them for food.

just like the novelty of having a playstation 3 will wear off, or just like the novelty of having wall-e on blu-ray will wear off.....

your diet is 90 percent cheese anyway

[manbearcub]

this started off great but is starting to get lame. time for the refs to get in and separate em. well done on all ends.

[Magnetic Curses]

that's true. but truffle just laughed at your joke.

[Magnetic Curses]

or just like the novelty of having a child with someone you met on the internet will wear off.

[imb]

im gonna go grab something to eat. i'm thinking about calling espn radio and talking about the LA rams legacy and how it affects me as an oklahoman.

there, i think i covered everyone.
