How do you llike OKC Thunder for our NBA team name ???

Re: I look for the OKC NBA team nickname to be announced...

Good call.

 

I don't know if this means anything, but the OKC NBA team is setting up shop in Leaderhsip Square. As of this morning they are painting the official team store in Sage Green and Brown.
I hope they don't go with the Thunder. Only because I want to see Mark Rodgers with more egg on his face. That guy annoys the crap out of me. Any guy who looks like Rosie O'Donnell shouldn't be working in sports.

Hey, it will be tomorrow...

 

Re: I look for the OKC NBA team nickname to be announced...

This will be true one of these times. Maybe this will be it! *fingers crossed*

Mouse over any of the Oklahoma City links...

http://www.nba.com/schedules/index.html?team=thunder

Thunder it is, folks...

 

Boo!

 

http://www.nba.com/schedules/?team=thunder

schedule is set

 

Now all we need is a logo & colors (blue & silver, if memory serves me correctly).


EDIT: nba.com/thunder is a 404.

 

Good Job NBA!!!

 

I suspect someone thought they could slide the schedule references and links under the radar, but I also have to think we're close to an announcement. I'm sure the media up there will run with this, which may force the timetable forward some.

But why the NBA programmers didn't park this on their development server until the announcement is beyond me.

 

NBA Accidental Leak of OKC THUNDER'S Name?

Re: NBA Accidental Leak of OKC THUNDER'S Name?

Can we have a chubby pom squad called the Thunder Thighs?

Oooh, and can Garth sing "And the Thunder Roooolled!" as the team is introduced?

 

AC/DC's THUNDERSTRUCK for the introduction!

 

Re: NBA Accidental Leak of OKC THUNDER'S Name?

Garth won't sing in Oklahoma. He seems to have made that much obvious in the past.
Not that it really matters to me.

 

Any chance the link is a red herring?

 

so, the team is still coming here, verdad? i don't hear any talk about it anymore. i guess people have grown tired of the front office skylarkings.
