Saturday Morning Cartoons: To remind that it can be done
November 14th, 2009
(Morning Daily Thunder patrons. Thanks for your support. Keep it real.)
It’s a big game in San Antonio for the Thunder tonight and I’m sure most folks feel a bit uneasy about it. Well, remember last year? Oklahoma City had the Spurs’ number late in the year. I think most can agree this was the best win in the Scott Brooks era and potentially one that really turned it around for this group. It proved to not just fans, but to the team, that they could compete with the class of the West. So let this serve as a little pumper-upper for tonight.
You know, I was just sitting here wishing I could read or see something about the Thunder this morning instead of whether or not the NBA should retire Jordan’s number (silly idea, IMO). Then, lo and behold, Royce tweets Saturday Morning Cartoons.
Thanks Royce!
Someday we’ll get an actual Saturday morning Thunder cartoon in the old Harlem Globetrotters cartoon style. Just think, the bros battling evil in their spare time backed up by a different pop tune every week. Who wouldn’t watch that?

I’m just not sure if I’d rather have the classic version or the super power version. Tough call there. Though it’d be fun to give them super powers. KD would be Durantula, a spider man . Westbrook would be the Cheshire Cat, so fast he leaves his smile behind hovering in the air and as it fades away you realize he’s stolen your superweapon and dunked on you (or maybe missed a layup).
Seeing Houston lose in Sacramento last night takes some of the sting out of that game…ok maybe not but at least the Kings might be for real…

Yeah the Kings have been impressive. That loss doesn’t look as bad. Four straight for them.
Just a reminder that the Thunder are doing a food drive at the game tomorrow. Bring 2 cans and get a voucher for 2 tickets to a future game. Hopefully they’ll be able to get a lot of food for needy Oklahomans.
Was just cleaning out the car and found the schedule where my friend and I divided up our tickets. Does anyone else think there is a decent chance that we end November with a 9-8, 8-9 or even a 10-7 record?
Lose to the Spurs, Heat, Lakers. Wins against the Clips, Wiz, Jazz, Bucks. Houston and Orlando (just have not played well, but will have Lewis back) could go either way.
Am I just freakin’ nuts? I kinda think maybe I’ve been drinking the Kool-Aid, but my tongue isn’t Thunder blue.
I think an 8-9 record is the best case scenario. All the home games are winnable, but these are some tough road games. Utah is notoriously tough at home, I can’t see us winning there despite their troubles. Milwaukee and Houston at home aren’t even close to being locks either.
Even the home game against LAC is the 2nd of a back to back.
I’ll say 7-10 with wins against San Antonio, Washington, and Milwaukee.
With the way everything looked when the schedule came out, I’d be thrilled with 7-10. Thrilled. Anything more than that and I may be making overly ambitious statements.
Saw this on the Weekend Dime on ESPN.com:
“(Quincey) Douby was on Toronto’s inactive list for each of its first eight games but will come away with $105,651 for the 21 days he will have spent on the roster this season once he clears waivers.”
I’m in the wrong line of work…
I’ve been reading that one of Parker / Duncan will still be out tonight. Think that gives us a fighting chance.
