OKC to play on Christmas against the Nuggets

A few schedule notes for the Thunder:

  • The Thunder will play Denver Christmas Day at 7 p.m. CT in Oklahoma City. The game is scheduled to be on ESPN.
  • Oklahoma City will play Utah Oct. 31 (dress like Tony Brothers for Halloween!) at the Ford Center. That game will be on NBATV and is at 6 CT.
  • The Thunder will take on the Lakers on Martin Luther King Jr. Day at 9:30 CT at the Staples Center in LA.
  • The opening night game against the Bulls set for Oct. 27 will be televised on ESPN at 7 CT.
  • KD’s reaction to the Christmas game: “Just found out we’re gonna play a Christmas game against Denver inside the Ford Center at 7 p.m. Games gonna be on ESPN. Big for us! THUNDERUP!”

Obviously the rest of the schedule will be out next week and OKC will have some more national TV dates mixed in there. But there’s a theme here: The Thunder will be one of the most visible teams this year. A major national TV game against Denver, then another against the Lakers, plus part of ESPN’s season kickoff. Good stuff.

@f5alcon

Really glad to hear that Jam is coming to 360. And it's being bundled with a game I was already planning on purchasing.

Yes finally national tv! I live in Alaska so i don't get to see many games, but finally we will be on national tv

Sing it with me now!!!

All-I-want-for-Christmas-is-2-court-side-seats,

2-court-side-seats,

2-court-side-seats!!!

YEAH!!!

he will probley be back up to Russell Westbrook the Eric Maynor

According to shamsports, Royal Ivey signed a 2 year, 2.4 million contract, the 2nd year fully unguaranteed. Looks like his first year is guaranteed, therefore he's a lock to make the roster as the 3rd point guard.

Like I said, he's too good to be training camp fodder.

@Elegy444 i love that idea everyone wheres Santa outfit

nba jam coming to 360, ps3 packed in with KDs nba elite

@B-RY
yeah they will make a lot more money from all the tv revenue.

....clearly, the Thunder will be getting a LOT of attention. KD's role on Team USA should also bring in more fans. The front office must be STOKED!!

I like their thinking on the Thunder v. Bulls opener... I hope it's a premiere match up for a long time to come.

Also, the Thunder and Nuggets have some pretty intense history together, that should be a fun game!

I got a Thunder-Santa hat last year and I'll sport my santa suit with it. It won't match but I'm colorblind anyways so ...Go Thunder ho, ho, ho!!

i bet that they will give Santa Christmas hats out

Everyone in santa hats on Christmas!

From the "glad I have Tivo department"

Me: Honey, great news. The Thunder are playing on Christmas Day!

Mrs. professorsearcy: You are NOT sticking me with your family while you watch basketball

C'mon Kevin, you're better than Paul Pierce.

i expect more national televised games

Great to see the Thunder get some national recognition, now they're going to have to live up to the hype. I think they will. GO THUNDER!!

From KD: "To be honest I appreciate Kenny smith comments but I'm not on dwade melo dirk Paul p level, I ain't done nothing yet...but stay tuned!"

@ThunderHorn
and he gets to open his season against the rupaul of basketball

@ThunderHorn

good fit, IMO. Doc has the clout to reign Shaq in and Pierce, KG, Ray-Ray are guys Shaq has had battles against and he respects so he won't be acting stupid.

sounds like Shaq is heading to Boston.

this is fantastic news! i'm so pumped to have a Thunder game to go to on Christmas day!

definitely gonna have a ton of national games this season.. wow, this is exciting.. :)

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I can't wait!!i gonna Thunderup my weekend package to half season and get some other "premiere" games. Go THUNDER!!

i am so happy that we are playing on Christmas Day

I have to think we'll be a constant on the NBA-TV Fan Nights as well.

Great exposure for the thunder. I can't think of a better way to spend Halloween!
