It is a nuthouse there

[Speedy88]

F*ck OKC, they should still be in Seattle.

Seattle > OKC

[CanuckG]

Wish they were still in Seattle

[pattymayo]

that crowd creeps me out.. too much energy for a made 2 point shot with 7 min left in the 2Q.. calm the fukk down till it matters

[RollPlayer]

They have a new team and dont know when it's important to go crazy. Personally I love it

[demens]

Yeah, maybe you should be taking notes instead, on how to cheer for your team like they claim they do at that pathetic mecca of basketball.

[flyingillini]

In places like Oklahoma what else is there to do? I am sure there are very nice areas in Oklahoma but I can't imagine what my life would be like in that area... What a different world from Califas.

[anthonydiamondLC]

They just go nuts. There not gonna lose energy they came to party.

[alamo]

Denver are loving this. Crowd too wild. Nuggets are loving silencing them with every made shot. if they stfu it would have a much better effect

[Petenana15]

Every point matters...

[MendozaLine]

Maybe in basketball. In all of sports? Laughable

[alamo]

Someone just pointed out to me that the crowd are wearing Denvers colours too ! Someone fcked up

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Their crowd is going absolutely nuts!`

[chantrain]

they're a good crowd, but best in all sports?

hah

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Over 104 second half bet?

[kgindy]

Just posted this on another forum. They give you the chills.

Heh? Its Oklahoma City, top 40 in population in US, i'm sure there is a shitload of stuff to do there just like in any other big metropolitan city. They dont play at someones barn or in a field somewhere.

[newjerseydevils]

pretty good crowd. i def have to agree. looks like a fun place to entertain

[Rich Boy]

Vancouver and Montreal put NBA crowds to shame, NBA is a joke.

[chantrain]

pfft, hockey crowds?

imo the best crowds are soccer crowds. They chant, sing songs during games, and then riot and beat opposing fans up. Now thats passion.

NBA crowds may as well be golf crowds compared to that

I understand that and I am sure it's a great place but that part of the Country has a different lifestyle than we do out here. I have been all over and have seen the difference.... Not a knock on it, just not my thing...

Exactly. Only show in town.

Montreals gm said hes embarassed of the things those fans boo like their own players f@g canadien fans

Kevin Durant may end up being better than Lebron or Kobe.

I've lived in Oklahoma my entire life so I will try to give an unbiased opinion. Oklahoma City and Tulsa are nice places to live with plenty to do. If you haven't been to OKC, you would probably be surprised about how much is actually there. With that said, the farther you get away from those cities in Oklahoma, the less and less there is.

I've been to L.A., Las Vegas, Chicago, Dallas, etc. and yeah, those cities have a lot more going on but I wouldn't want to live in any of those places. A little to hectic for my liking and I can do a lot of the sames things in OKC see that I can do there, we just don't have as many options. Make sense?

I've also been to places like Mississippi, Indiana, Tennessee, and Kentucky. While I'm sure there are nice places in those states, it makes me happy that I live in Oklahoma.

As for the crowd, it's a college atmosphere. The big thing here was college football until we recently got our NBA team. Goto an OU football game. Every play there are 85,000 fans standing and screaming their heads off. The same thing happens at Oklahoma State basketball games. This type of crowd has spilled over to the Thunder. Personally, I love it. It's a lot rowdier than other pro venue I've been to that's for sure. Other places seem really laid back compared to OKC.

College type crowds don't appear to be in cities like New York and L.A. because quite frankly, those aren't college type places. People in L.A. and New York have plenty to get excited about besides pro sporting events. It's not quite exactly the same here. The Thunder are the big thing going right now in the state so they have 100% support and yes, we get very pumped up about the games.

[Killer_Demo]

cant compare to sac kings fans...cowbell

[mikeanite]

that's what they said about Sactown fans in the early 2000's

[sportfan]

F*ck OKC, they should still be in Seattle.

Seattle > OKC

[Speedy88]

Pretty much any city in the NBA is better than hill billy OKC. I miss the Sonics. I hate watching the Zombie Sonics and Kevin Durant.

[agharah1]

If we're really talking about greatest spectacles ever, how about the North Korean Mass Games? Now *THAT* is scary!

[Cap dat 4ss]

Seattle had their chance to keep the Sonics and couldn't muster up the support, no surprise really. Seattle is really known for having great sports teams (mariners and seahawks ) Thats why the Thunder are doing so well in OKC, better environment for a pro team.

[Cuse0323]

great crowd, best in the NBA by far. better than most in college basketball too.

Are you kidding me? Seattle got robbed, literally got robbed. And everyone knows that Seattle sports suck, but so do a lot of other cities. At least Seattle has an NFL and MLB team unlike OKC. There is no denying that OKC's fans are great, but the Thunder should be in Seattle. If anything, OKC should have gotten the Hornets.

If you don't believe me about them being robbed, watch this trailer:

And if you like it, watch the movie for free at sonicsgate.org/movie

[Cap dat 4ss]

Speedy, Seattle did not get robbed. The Sonics should have never been in the position they were in to go to OKC. Schultz sold the team to Bennett and his guys. The WA state gov't failed to provide the funding for updates at Key Arena. IIRC, this was not only the reason that Bennett relocated to OKC but also the reason that Schultz sold the team in the 1st place.

Seattle is a great city. I've been there many of times and we have considered living there but they do not get the type of support that the Thunder have gotten in OKC. Possibly because they are the only game in town. And Oklahoma is a college state that rallies around the sooners so it's really no surprise that the atmosphere is college like.

[FreeFall]

I love when crowds get exicted. Last one I loved was GSWs when they beat the mavericks for the playoff run.

Reminds me of the EPL.
