I hope we are really loud and bother the lakers.

Why not orange ?

@Anonymous
HA HA! Us OU fans DO hate those two shades of orange,(Poke and burnt) but tolerate Thunder orange.

So help me if they are orange, I’ll probably leave it there. Blue is fine with me!

See what I told you? Orange is a very sensitive color in Oklahoma.

I wondered when they’d do the thunder stix…

Well, now I’ll have a Thunder t-shirt for every day of the week.

Any possibility on Red Panda for halftime?

Enjoy game 6 . . . . then enjoy the off season.

BEAT L.A.!
BEAT L.A.!
BEAT L.A.!
BEAT L.A.!

With our loud crowd AND thunderstix…man, it’s gonna be deafening.

Seems the White Out made us perform better. AND LA couldn’t concentrate enough to shoot free throws. All the white behind the backboard confused them.

Good news!! There should be tickets for under $50 on Stubhub by Friday. This is almost a certainty with over 800 tickets still available. That is just too many at prices near $100. Prices are sure to drop further the closer to tipoff we get. They have dropped over 30% so far. Be patient and stick it to the scalpers!!

@Boots
maybe we need to have flashing lights on our shirts, or reflective stuff

Which of these NBA rosters looks best to you? http://su.pr/1m9vU4

hope you guys will beat LA, man , i am just tired of hearing from this LA pppl ….come on guys beat them in their home court ..u guys can do it,,,,,,,goodluck..

I suppose the “blue out” will suddenly make Krstic, Green and the swiss guy not suck complete balls and your caveman-looking PG not choke with the best player guarding him.

I am SO looking forward to yet another fantastic start to the game with kristic and green leading the charge

Should be totally splendiferous

So pleased the shirts are blue, NOT orange!!! A red(orange red) like the original logo would be very nice, but not orange – it’s too…….. something that several Oklahomans do not care to wear. Besides, very few people look good in orange.

Orange is the reason I didn’t but the tree and leaf James Harden shirt. That color is not allowed in my house, except the slight amount on the Thunder logo, or in juice form. I like OJ.

You guys are making me laugh with your “revulsion” to wearing orange. The Thunder and their colors have NOTHING to with either college program. This is the NBA, people. The big time. Not college. I could understand if the shirts were Lakers colors.

@PNT
It’s not a college thing, it’s an Oklahoma thing. OSU fans wouldn’t want to wear red either. Am I right?

they could have had navy, grey, or orange. I wonder why the chose blue again. Oh, well as long as the THUNDER kicks some butt I dont care what the fans are wearin. I got my blue shirt!! Its funny how u see Laker fans creepin on our Thunder pages they must be gettin scared!!!!GO THUNDER!!!

Better a caveman than a rapist.

Random thought:

With the nuggets unraveling in these playoffs I see them being open to moving some pieces this summer

I say we go after Nene

@The DON
I don’t see them blowing up the team just yet. The main reason they are playing poorly is because of Georg Karl’s absence, not because they don’t have talent. Besides, Nene is one guy they would probably keep even if they blow up the team.

Nene’s arguably their best player this year (yes better than Carmelo). No way is he traded..

Krstic has gotta go. He’s weak inside and has Teflon for hands. Every time someone passes to him in traffic, he turns it over. Plus, at 7′, he should be dunking in close. Instead he attempts a layup and ends up getting rejected. Keep in on the bench. Collison and Ibaka are a great duo.

We can confuse L.A. if we speak English, LOL.

What your mom said last night when i visited her.

I now find myself partial to the Sooners only cause of this site.

I think it’s a sign of growtth and respect that we have our own troll. And a Lakers troll, no less. Sure, he’s rather unimpressive–too relient on cliche and personal attack–and perhaps some of you are already thinking of trading him away (not in this economy!) Perhaps it would be better to give him time to develop. Maybe let him troll a few 66ers games so we can get a better idea of what we have.

Hhahahaha I love this!

You OU fans are pathetic when it comes to the color orange. If Durant signed a orange basketball and gave it to you would you accept it? Stop fronting.

@DizzyDai

Basketballs are all orange, unfortuantely. And yes … if Durant signed one, I’d keep it and display it with all the rest of my sports autographed stuff. In OK, if someone is wearing an orange shirt, they are almost immediately associated with OSU. Mainly because it is a god-awful color that most normal folks wouldn’t wear. If you are wearing Orange in OK, you are either an OSU fan, a prisoner, or going hunting. That orange is a very minor color in the Thunder logo is fine. Because it is so minor, it wouldn’t make sense to do an “Orange Out” Red is a pretty common color, so if someone is wearing red in OK, they aren’t immediately assumed to be an OU fan. Orange is just different.

When I lived in Texas for a bit, part of the culture shock was how bitter the rivalries were between UT / A&M or UT / OU, etc. It went beyond sports into something weird. Almost palpable hate from some people I knew. Is OU / OSU the same?

@justin
My life long observation of the in-state rivalry is: yes, it sometimes goes beyond sports into daily life and culture. Of course not for every fan of the two universities, but certainly in our state’s pop culture.

For many of the past years, I think the hard core animosity was mostly on the OSU side – absolutely couldn’t stand anything associated with OU. Mostly this thought was due to the lopsided football series between the two that overwhelminly favors the Sooners (81-16-7). Couple that with OU’s national success along with the occasional overbearing Sooner fan and OSU acrimony is understandable.

The last decade or so, though, OSU has pulled off some surprising victories against the Sooners and their fanbase has now risen up. Along the the vastly improved facilities they now enjoy, Cowboy fans don’t sit quietly like they used to, and therefore OU fans now want to pour it on even more.

And that’s where we stand today. Thunder Basketball is the first opportunity to bridge the wide gap. It will take some time, but I think it will happen (would good natured ribbing still alive) in regards to this team.

@Terry

I think you are delving way too deep. I just think the color orange is ugly. Plain and simple.

In my opintion, no. I’ve lived in both Tx and Ok most of my life and personally witnessed the rivalries between TTU/A&M and OU/OSU. As I see it the TTU/AM goes deep through every facet of life. The OU/OSU rivalry typically stays in the context of sports and not personal “hatred”

@Joel
heh…perhaps. I actually like orange. But real orange – not that traffic cone, psychdelic, neon junk that bleeds out of Payne County.

NBA Rumor Talk: Chris Bosh to The Thunder?
by Josh Dhani Senior Writer Written on April 24, 2010 The latest rumors among the offseason that is coming is of Raptors’ PF going to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Oh, whoops, let me rephrase that really quickly: …is of former Raptors’ PF going to the…

Yes, Raptor fans, Chris Bosh will be leaving Toronto. He’s done a lot there and I know you probably will miss him. But Bosh needs a team that can take him to the playoffs. I know Toronto was close, but face it, he’s leaving.

If Bosh wants a team to take him to the playoffs, the 2010 NBA Free Agency is where he should look into. And for him going to the Thunder, it’ll be the perfect fit. A lot of things can happen with Bosh in OKC.

First of all, he’ll play in an important role with Oklahoma City, who consists of skilled players like Jeff Green, Russell Westbrook, and of course Kevin Durant. Bosh will just be the key to unlocking a team that has sure bet into the playoffs.

The Thunder made it this year with over 50 wins.

They can reach for 56-60 now with acquiring such a player like Bosh. Bosh can score from a lot of places, he’s fast, strong, and somebody you can rely on. He’ll be a happy man in Oklahoma.

Not so sure on Toronto, though.

But as the rumors go, Bosh still wants to leave Toronto. But don’t get excited Knick fans, because I don’t know if Bosh wants to go there either. Because as of right now, the Knicks aren’t a playoff team, though they are greatly improving.

But how do we know if the Knicks do in fact make the playoffs for the upcoming season? That’s why Bosh should go to the Thunder, who have a better chance.

But the question is, if the Thunder do land Bosh, where will he be?

Will the Thunder keep Russell Westbrook at PG and move Durant to SG? Then Jeff Green goes to SF and Bosh goes to PF? Or will the Thunder will have their normal lineup, but instead, replace the Center spot with Bosh.

There’s many possibilites and lineups OKC can arrange. The Thunder can acquire Bosh. I think Bosh will like it here.

We’ll see what happens.

But for right now, let’s enjoy the playoffs.

I got 2 tickets in section 102 for tomorrow I need to sale. Will be out of town and can’t go and I have been offered $300 a piece for them but the guy is a Laker fan and I don’t want a laker fan there. If you are itnerested email me at osulingo@yahoo.com.

orange cant look as trashy as sooner fans wearing sooner gear to a thunder game now that looks bad

@f5alcon
Yes, I hope it does bother the Lakers.

Lakers are NOT winning this series! Go KD, Russel, and OKC!!!! Beat L.A.

I don’t get why people hate on the orange idea so much, I have a pair of KD2 Creamsicles and those things are the baddest shoes on the planet. I would’ve enjoyed a playoff shirt to go with it for sure!

@LAKER FAN no, you enjoy the severe thunderstorm la is gonna get on game seven. and they said it doesnt rain in southern california
