Hook 'em.

[urunobili]

Not sure if serious

[smaka]

Still better Durant than Lebron if you ask me..

[Beanzamillion21]

This is as bad as when people were rooting for the Mavs because they are from Texas. Pathetic! Who gives a shit? Fuck the Thunder!

[Halberto]

KD always backs up UT, despite all the flack he gets in Oklahoma. Get'e
KD.

Texas Longhorns had former players in every team in the conference finals.

Spurs had Cory Joseph and T.J. Ford earlier in the year
Thunder had KD and Royal Ivey

Boston had Avery Bradley
Heat had Dexter Pittman

[Bill_Brasky]

He went there for a whole one year and lost in what the second round of the tourney?

Yeah what an amazing and dedicated longhorn.

...and there are only two teams in the finals and Durant is the unquestioned leader of his team...hence the OKC Longhorns moniker.

Can't really hate on the man for that. I would have loved for him to stay and help Texas win a title but the fact is you don't say no to a winning lottery ticket. Anything can happen in another year of college to jeopardize that.

People are still bitter and I can't blame them, I was too for a while. This guy loved UT and still represents us today.

[dylankerouac]

I was just stating a fact that I thought was interesting, not many college teams can claim that. I could really care less what you title your threads.

[Dex]

Don't quite understand the Thunder hate here. I mean, sure....I'm bitter that we lost to them, too...but not nearly so much as I was losing to our bitter rivals the Mavericks or Lakers....or even as I was getting trounced out of the first round by the Griz.

Did they benefit from some shitty officiating in Game 6? Yes....but that wasn't their decision. You can blame the NBA Hype Machine and David Stern for that, but the Thunder were just taking advantage of the situation. And yes, they also overcame an 18-point deficit well before the whistles started blowing.

Other than that, they played a great series. They did what I didn't think they would be able to do: they hit their long jump shots consistently enough to win a 4-game series, and have done it all through the playoffs. They hit big shots when they needed them. They got stops when they needed them. They got big games from their stars, and good contributions from their role players (Ibaka and Perkins basically won them Game 5). They did all the things we hoped the Spurs would do, but didn't.

Team built the right way: through the draft and fiscal front office. Built in the Spurs mold, the Sam Presti way. Former Longhorn leading the charge.

Oh, and there's the whole fact that they are not the goddamn Heat.

If the Spurs can't have it, OKC would probably be my second choice.

If UT could just find a way to keep its players longer they could be right up there every year.

[Budkin]

I really didn't care until I heard Colin Cowherd sucking Heat cock this morning and defending their post LeBron championship celebration. Then it all came back. Go Thunder.

I don't like Miami but this is pretty sick. The Seattle Skyline in the background makes it

[Dingle Barry]

Rick Barnes' total inability to install a real offensive system is the real problem.

People crying about things that are in the past is not be thrown around lightly here.

I'm telling you... it was Karma for them cheering when Tim went down.

Mayor tells Stern Seattle wants NBA back in town

As the team formerly known as the Seattle SuperSonics prepares to host the first two games of the NBA Finals, Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn met with league commissioner David Stern to let him know the city wants to bring pro basketball back to Washington.

McGinn met with Stern Monday, the day before the NBA Finals began in Oklahoma City. The team now known as the Thunder moved to Oklahoma from Seattle in 2008.

Seattle City Council and King County Council received a $500 million stadium development proposal for a new building near Safeco Field, home of the Mariners, and CenturyLink Field (Seahawks). McGinn is a supporter of the plan but business owners have been resistant because of concerns about heavier traffic keeping people from coming to the area.

They cared about their team, they just didn't like that fuckwad Howard Schultz. Then he gave his own city one last fuck you by selling the team to Bennett. Sonics fans have a right to be pissed -- but as far as I'm concerned, they shouldn't blame Bennett or the Thunder. Bennett got it done for his city, and Schultz didn't.

But the next time a team packs up and moves, Seattle will be at the top of the list, plus or minus Anaheim. It's a way bigger city than New Orleans, Memphis, or Sacramento.

I always thought Pittsburgh would be ripe for an NBA team

[The_Worlds_finest]

This weekend While waiting in the bathroom of some restaurant showing the Pacman fight, some fat slob wearing a UT shirt, stumbled out of the stall chanting OKC.

The irony, a Ut fan going for a team based out of land of OU, let alone chanting OKC in Austin.

[lefty]

KD doesnt give a fuck about your Longhorns anymore :lmao

[tesseractive]

I always thought Pittsburgh would be ripe for an NBA team

It's a smaller market that probably has all it can handle with its current 3 teams, all of which have an entrenched, long-term history in the community.

My guess is that cities like Kansas City and especially St. Louis would be ahead of Pittsburgh in getting franchises.

The Grizz are moving to Seattle. Book it.

Yeah what an amazing and dedicated longhorn.
Yeah he was the quintessential longhorn !!

I like the way that sounds + all 5 Vancouver Grizzlies fans can attend games.

[Legacy]

Meh. Still don't care.

[Beanzamillion21]

Meh. Still don't care.

Well don't care somewhere else.

[crc21209]

No. Fuck Durant, and Oklahoma City. Go Heat!

[Legacy]

Well don't care somewhere else.

No.

[Halberto]

Durant put his horns up as he was introduced in the starting line up. He has my full support.

Nice. Durant lettin' them Sooners know who is leading them.

[dg7md]

Very cool of Durant doing that in enemy territory (OKC).

[BatManu20]

the grizz are moving to seattle. Book it.

[Spurtacus]

I love that Durant shits on OKC with the Hook 'em. :lmao

[timvp]

Longhorn Fan arm in arm with Sooner Fan in rooting for Durant is pretty lame, tbh.

[benefactor]

Sure, it's not desirable that he plays in the land of the devil, but in a way I get a chuckle out of it. Those Sooner fags have two choices...hate your home team or root for the Longhorn that leads them. I will root for him to get his ring...but make no mistake...I do not align myself with those Harden beard wearing dumbasses or the fat, shirtless hillbilly that makes animal noises through the megaphone while players shoot free throws. That place could get McVeigh'd after a home game and I wouldn't shed a tear. Just make sure KD is out of the building first.

:wakeup

[timvp]

It's arm in arm no matter how it's spun, tbh. You root for Durant, you've join Sooner forces.

[benefactor]

Nope. I root for the Texans, but I don't stand arm and arm with the dumbass Rocket fans on this board.

[ohmwrecker]

I got flamed for it pretty hard last year when I supported Memphis after they eliminated the Spurs, but I feel the same about OKC. I always want the team who eliminates my team to win. I actually like the Thunder. Durant is pretty likeable, as far as superstars go, and they are a supremely well run organization. The fact that they play in a state that has the weirdest assemblage of white people on the planet, should have very little significance.

[Budkin]

I'm just trying to enjoy this series while trying not to think about the Spurs not being there. :cry

[DesignatedT]

Not a big fan of Westbrook but other than that I don't really mind either of these teams. Don't really care who wins, I'm just trying to enjoy the games.

[DPG21920]

Fuk okc.
