Riiiight, that was the last straw...attendance.

It's not the deciding factor but it was one of the main reason why they end up selling the team. PROFIT wasn't there.  It wasn't profitable enough to stay in Seattle.  If the fans really care about the team . They would have sold out every single games.

If the team got a new arena deal...our attendance could have been still been #++* and everything would have been gravy.

You know how many teams have %@%+** attendance...how often does #++* like this happen?

What ? If they sold out every game and if fan continue to support (by paying $ to go to watch the game)  then they wouldnt be in a financial deficit.  Cheap fans=empty seats. Owner see no financial benefit. Force to sell.  Pretty self explanatory

Absolutely wrong.

Seattle's city government backed down in a game of chicken they were going to win.
The Sonics contract clearly stated they couldn't leave until the lease was up, which wasn't for another year. The US economy collapsed a few months after the move was official. Had Seattle's government stood firm Clay Bennett and Aubrey McClendon would've had to stay that extra year. Except McClendon is the big money guy between the two and he lost most of his money in the collapse. The writing would've been on the wall: Bennett would've had to sell, and the Supersonics would be playing in the NBA Finals not the Thunder.

Fan Attendance doesn't bring nearly as much dollars as TV Contracts. I'll give you this much, though...Fan attendance is due to bad product, but that's not the fault of Clay Bennett. He inherited a mediocre team whose previous owner made the fans sour against him by running out the most popular Supersonic of all time.

Could be. But for now,i think he prefers at least one more ring. While others still looking for his first one.
 
Don't get why people keep saying dynasty...what if they lose in the Finals?

They have to win more than one to be considered a dynasty, let them handle their business first before labels are being thrown around.

Bro, I was kidding. 

Only way Derek Fisher belongs at the HOF, is if he's visiting.

I guess the guy deserves even a little credit with his contribution during the lockout and after getting traded by the Lakers.Now he's laughing.

Grats refs ..great fix..we getting whacked in our heads and no fouls being called, ruined what was a great game
 
laugh.gif
at the salty spurs fans saying its the refs fault, when TP and Ginobili flop their *@@*! off.


Every1 thought it was going to game 7 after one half of basketball, spurs went 9-14 from three in that half.......
there was no *#@@%*$ way they would keep that up.


KD deserves this more than anyone, pretty cool to see a new superstar bloom right before your eyes

After SA blew out OKC in game two and went up 2-0, and everyone thought Spurs were gonna sweep their way into the finals:

We'll see how they respond at home

Keep in mind I was on the Spurs side, didn't think they'd lose four straight 
  
 
This is outragous that The thunder have won the WCF, and the only thing you guys can talk about is Seattle...WOW

You can toss out any regular season games these teams played as their rosters have changed slightly.  If OKC can contain the Spurs 3 pt shooters and keep their turnovers down then they have a pretty good shot.  People are understimating OKC's interior defense and their shot blocking will play a role in this one.

I'll take OKC in 6.

I'll stick with the original statement....OKC's length and speed have given San Antonio problems. 

People need perspective and ESPN tries to get people to live in the moment too much.  Claiming the Spurs are the greatest team ever and now they are washed up.....all in the span of one week, my gosh.  

OKC will be a crazed environment on Wednesday and the Spurs won't be able to match the intensity.   That would be a fun gym to be in to watch Game 6.  NBA Finals for OKC.

Very few people picked the Thunder before the series began and almost no one stuck with thtem after they fell down 0-2.  Shouts to the other fellows that did.


OKC overcame the flopping from teh Spurs and the "superior coaching" of Pop and all the other cliche things people classified the Spurs as having.  


Don't even mention the referees....Spurs were in the bonus with 10 minutes to play in the 4th quarter in Game 5 in their gym....and still lost.  You lose 4 straight to any team, sorry my friend....you are not the better team. 
  
 
Anybody remember when last year when they lost to the Mavs, and they were talking about Trading Westbrook for Chris Paul?

Gotta love ESPN.

This had me dying just thinking about it!


I'm not gonna front, I am not an OKC fan but those young bulls did work against some real good competition. I will say this too, KD is the best player in the league and no one is seeing him the game is coming soo easy to him right now!

good to hear
 
People were talking about the refs throughout the entire thread. So I have no idea what lebron supporters are claiming about a double standard. We were talking about Joey Crawford early in the game. The only reason there are less comment is less people watched and yuku was terrible
