Here's what all the experts are saying about the Thunder, past and future:
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah.
Blah.
Blah, ...
Who gave Perkins all that money and said he was the real deal?
Who drafted the KU center who couldn't play?
Who ...
OU football coach Bob Stoops had this scoop during his Tulsa campaign stop: The bottom of the SEC stinks.
What campaign ...
Tulsa versus OKC:
Entertainment, a push. Scenery, us. Leadership (downtown boom, American Idol auditions, etc.), them. Culture, us. Malls, us. Tornadoes, them.
Sports, OKC massacres us, thanks to the Thunder.
Believe it or not, OKC is going for the NBA title!
It still seems like science fiction, Hooterville gone legit.
True: The Thunder has only beaten two dogs, the over-the-hill gang, Dallas, with Dirk Noshotski sleepwalking his way through the season, and guard Kidd turning 60 years of age, or something close. Then the Thunder stomped the LA Fakers and the worst set of guards in recent NBA playoff history. The Faker coach is a joke, stationing a seven-foot guy by the center stripe. Kobe is aging fast. Without two or three blockbuster trades, this franchise is in ruin.
Also true: You can't blame a team for winning.
The Spur-Thunder series looks like one of the best ever. Losing the home wood and yahoo edge late in the season will prove costly.
In other NBA news, Blake Griffin needs to learn how to play basketball with more skills and less brute force. He is a thunder-dunker at home.
But he is terrible on defense and gets only the rebounds that bounce to him.
Spurs in the full seven.
