Where is this Lakers defense that was going to cause OKC problems?

[BigDofBA]

81 points and we're only midway through the third quarter.

its game 1, still a whole lot of series left. I think everyone including myself expected OKC to blowout LA today.

I know. Series is not over by any means. I'm just excited right now and enjoying every minute of this ass kicking.

I'm still so pissed that I don't have a team anymore. Of course right when the team gets good they get taken away.

Stern could have just let us have the Hornets. OKC really wanted the Hornets back then. We actually thought they would be a better team at the time because of Chris Paul and David West.

Instead, Sterns gives the Hornets back to a city that doesn't even support them.

Yeah and your owner Clay Bennett is butt-buddies with David Stern. Have you seen the emails that they exchanged while the team was still in Seattle?

Bennett to Stern:

I am concerned that you may feel I have betrayed your trust. David you know how I feel about our relationship both personally and professionally. You are among a very few, notwithstanding our relative brief actual physical time together that have significantly affected my life. I view you as a role model as an extraordinarily gifted executive, a deep and compassionate thinker, and a person with a rare and unique charisma that brings out the best in everyone you touch. You are just one of my favorite people on earth and I so cherish our relationship Sonics business aside. I would never breach your trust. As absolutely remarkable as it may seem, Aubrey and I have NEVER discussed moving the Sonics to Oklahoma City, nor have I discussed it with ANY other member of our ownership group. I have been passionately committed to our process in Seattle ...

Do you really have to open a thread about everything that goes against OKC? Nothing against you but come on bro.

I'm just venting a little, had some to drink, and pumped by this ass kicking.

A lot of people gave us little chance to do anything in the playoffs. I don't think we're going to win a championship, but for having a bunch of 22-23 year old starters, we are pretty good.
