This never would have happened when the Thunder were the Supersonics.

‘Cuz Seattle never would have made it to the finals.

The possibility isn’t reduced:

The shooting erupted when a group of women “ran up” on a group of men and exchanged words, Nelson said.

Liz Warren says she’s an Okie down to her toes. Who does she cheer for if finals are Boston vs Okla City?

She would really be conflicted in the possibility of a Cleveland-Atlanta World Series.

The Amish were rioting in Thunder Alley. No word from the local press as to the identities of the peeps.

You have to have some kind of entertainment between football season and spring football.

Was this shooting between the African Amish and Afro-South American Quakers having a mild disagreement after the NBA Playoffs, or was it a turf fight over who had the rights to sell drugs in the parking lot to the NBA fans? Maybe it was just a cultural thing: the two groups’ way of saying, “hello”.

The antics of pro athletes and so-called “fans” become more and more disgusting. All we need is to import the British soccer hooligan mentality to complete the loop.

I didn’t know either. I lost interest in the NBA long ago. I must be getting old because I remember when these guys actually had class on and off the court. Walt Frazier, Willis Reed, Earl the Pearl Monroe, Dollar Bill Bradley(well, before he was a NJ senator) etc. Those were the days.
