OKC Thunder Eliminated in the first round of playoffs in Game 6 95-94

In an upset to Oklahoma City Thunder Fans everywhere the Thunder lost in Game 6 of the playoffs against the LA Lakers. The entire game was quite close, definitely a game where the fans all sat constantly on the edges of their seats. Each quarter had the OKC Thunder and the LA Lakers nearly matching each other for points.

Kevin Durant must have the feeling of letting his team down with a game-high of 26 points but missed 18 of his 23 shots in a display that summed up this game. “No matter how bad I shot, I always came out there and played hard and tried to do other things to help my team win,” Durant said. “So I can live with myself knowing that I came out there and gave it my all every game no matter how (inefficient) I shot the ball. That’s all I can ask for. That’s all my teammates can ask for. Even though this loss hurts, we all gave it our all every game. That’s all we can do.”

If there is one thing to take note of this season about the Oklahoma City Thunder it is the fans. The stands were filled to the brim with blue shirts and waving banners, the screaming fans animated. I think the Thunder Basketball team now knows it has a 100,000 person family supporting them. We’ll all be there next season to push them even harder and hope to see another playoff season next year with the Thunder.

OKC Thunder at Game 6 tonight at 8:30pm, let’s bring home a WIN

The Oklahoma City Thunder will be playing the LA Lakers tonight at 8:30pm for a home game a the Ford Center. This is game 6 of 7 of the playoffs. Hopefully we can get Durant and Westbrook to bring their A-Game and let whichever Kobe Bryant personality comes out leave with a loss. This is a huge game for us and I think with the right amount of synergy and the right amount of confidence we can make it a win.

This is going to be a tough game against the LA Lakers, namely based on the last game played with the Laker’s Kobe Bryant. I think we can pull through with Scott Brooks’ leadership.

Be sure to stock up on Thunder apparel at our Thunder Store to show your support for our basketball team!

If you are looking for the OKC Thunder game tonight it will be on at 8:30pm CDT on ESPN (Cox channel 29).

Oklahoma City Thunder Rocking the playoffs

As the Oklahoma City Thunder progress through the playoffs the excitement in Oklahoma City is rising with banners throughout downtown Oklahoma City on billboards and bridges. Fans are incredible excited about how well we are doing, and managed to do by getting into the playoffs so early in our team’s history. I think there are some upset Seattle fans to see us doing so well, and with such excitement from Oklahoma Thunder Fans for the game and for our team.

We beat the lakers most recently 110-89 and play them again tonight. I’m sure we can manage to achieve the same great success in beating their basketball team easily. So, everyone give your shout out to the Thunder tonight to help bring home another win for the Oklahoma City Thunder!

OKC Thunder wins Game 4 against the LA Lakers

The Oklahoma City Thunder brought home a win against the LA Lakers in game 4 of the playoffs. With a score of 110 to 89 and the help of both Kevin Durant’s leadership and rising star Russel Westbrook amazing talent. The OKC Thunder brought the confidence and synergy to Game 4 that was needed in order to take down the LA Lakers basketball team.

With 3 games remaining in the playoffs against the LA Lakers, we’re hoping to see Westbrook step up and become an allstar player through the rest of the post-season. That is as long as the “Black Mamba” of Kobe Bryant doesn’t come out and show what he’s all about.

Oklahoma City Thunder beat LA Lakers in Game 3 of the playoffs!

The Oklahoma City Thunder finally brought home a win in game 3 of the playoffs to show that we truly are a big league team with some amazingly talented ball players. After seeing what Kobe Bryan can do, Kevin Durant was able to use his length to shut down Kobe’s shots throughout the game. Durant’s defense limited Bryant to only get 2 out of 10 shots.

I think we will see Scott Brooks continue to lead the OKC Thunder to more wins in the playoffs, let’s all hope to see the OKC Thunder advance to round 2 of the playoffs and really make the Thunder an allstar team.

Oklahoma City Thunder loses to Hornets in New Orleans

The Thunder fought hard in their attempt to beat the Hornets tonight with a score of 88-79. Serge Ibaka scored 12 points with nine rebounds and two shots blocked. Making a great game in his teamwork with Kevin Durant for the New Orleans loss.

The Thunder was leading near the end of the game with just 5 minutes remaining, much like they did at Memphis. With a score of 79-75 the Thunder was able to even turn the basketball over 5 times in 5 minutes but were unable to come out with a win despite their attempts.

All in all a good basketball game against the Hornets but hopefully we can get some solid wins under our belt this season to really show everyone else we are a truly contender in the NBA.

Oklahoma City Thunder beats the Knicks 107-99

We may not be beating everyone but we are definitely developing a world class team in Oklahoma City. It isn’t going to happen over night, or even the first season. But we are pulling it together to compete with the best the NBA has to offer. We pulled a 107-99 win against the New York Knicks last night after having a 23 point lead throughout a full quarter and still clung on to win the basketball game.

With a full crowd, nearly 19,000 people in attendance we showed the NBA that we may have a rough start but we are in it to win it. Jeff Green was quoted as saying “We can’t let off the pedal, We’ve got to focus in a little bit more. But we handled it well.”

Kevin Durant pulled off 27 points during the game and Russel Westbrook was a close second with 22 points and 9 assists.

We will be playing the Houston Rockets on January 9th at 7PM, lets hope we can pull off a winning streak of some kind. I think we can show our neighbor to the south that we have the passion to win.

Oklahoma City Thunder’s Season Opener

With all of the news and hype surrounding our first opening game of the 2008-2009 NBA season there is a lot of information to take in. For starters, some great news I have heard is that the Bricktown Parking Garage and BPI Parking lot will have free parking during the Oklahoma City Thunder game tomorrow, Oct. 29. Awesome of them to do that for OKC Thunder fans. The reason they mentioned they were doing it is that they want to make sure fans are aware that in the future their parking will never be more than $5.

As of 5:00PM today there were still 200 tickets available to be purchased by Oklahoma City Thunder Fans. Tickets start at just $10 for the upper levels. People have spent the past few months making videos, music and writing about their favorite OKC Thunder basketball player whether it be Kevin Durrant, Jeff Green or Joe Smith. People are excited about Oklahoma City being a big league team and can’t wait for the tip off tomorrow.

The big talk is Thunder Alley and the near block party atmosphere that will be happening tomorrow. Downtown Oklahoma City in around the Ford Center and throughout Bricktown will be one giant party for Oklahoma City Thunder fans with everyone celebrating this historic event for the OKC Thunder Basketball team.

The Oklahoma City Thunder may have had a rough preseason with a 1-6 preseason score. However, there is still a lot of enthusiasm for OKC to do well in the coming NBA season. Since we took veterans Desmond Mason and Joe Smith in August there is a lot of excitement that we will have some much needed toughness, defense , skill and leadership to the team. Something that the Seattle Sonics didn’t have much of last year. With the new veteran leadership I belive we can have an excellent first season.

First Oklahoma City Thunder home game, preseason

We played our first home game in the preseason on the 14th. We nearly took down the clippers coming out with a 90-88 loss. We aren’t doing too bad and I think we have a change this season, our first, to show that we mean business and gain some respect in the NBA community.

As long as we all show our support for the Oklahoma City Thunder we can prove to everyone that Oklahoma City is a big league team and we mean business.

With our upcoming first season game against the Milwaulkee Bucks coming up you can feel the excitement rising in Oklahoma City. You see people wearing Oklahoma City Thunder apparrel and it for sale everywhere.

I think we are going to have a great basketball season this year in Oklahoma City. I’ll keep everyone posted on the games. If anyone is interested in me live blogging the games let me know and I will set something up.
