What a horrible logo. That could pass as a WNBA logo, couldn't it

Well, the women's league really is where any team who at any point called Seattle their home is probably better off playing in.... :)

I'm a huge fan of the NBA Finals....because that means I won't have to hear about it for a while and it doesn't interrupt my TV shows anymore. :D

That is a wrinkle in the canvas, which actually improved the logo.

Being from OK, I can honestly say I was a bit disappointed....and I am already sick of hearing AC/DC's Thunderstruck.

Its going to be a very looong season.

Could be worse. You coulda got stuck with a name like "Bobcats".....with the owners name being Bob.....

Sometimes I hate Charlotte....

That's OK.. I'm glad OK finally got a pro team in something, but I think the Twisters, or Tornadoes or something would have been more fitting... Ever since KG left the Twolves I haven't been as interested in Bball anymore...

OKLAHOMA
CITY?

what in the **** are they thinking? Cause oh yeah, it's the millionth largest TV market in America... oh yeah.. the CORN watches a lot of ****ing NBA. Damn.. stupid, stupid, stupid. Sure, Seattle is a shitty sports town for attendance but at least you have some frickin' people there to draw in under the unlikely circumstance where every major star in the NBA breaks thier ankle and the team is suddenly leading the standings. How many people live in Oklahoma City? 13? I'd bet there are guilds on Mal'Ganis with higher populations..

on the topic of the NBA.. i drifted away for a long time cause my Celtics were that bad.. and the NBA game was that boring, being a series of one-on-ones with Kobe and Shaq usually winning the one-on-one battle. It gets hard to watch. Lately, though, it's turned around and they've remembered how to play TEAM basketball and the last two years have been great. Particularly because your current world champions are lthe BOSTON-MF'IN-CELTICS!

Ever since Michael Jordan left the Bulls, no one in the city of Chicago cares at all about the NBA. Its all Sox/Cuds/Bears/Hawks around here. The Bulls are just a nuisance, even with that number 1 pick in the draft.

McHale could have kept KG in Minnesota, and Glenn Taylor was willing to spend the money to bring in good people for KG to play with, but they always lacked a good coach. The closest we've been to the big dance was in 2004, and it was great. Basketball is the only team sport I know of that can really carry an entire team with mediocre talent around them.. MJ retired, and the Bulls went to crap. KG left and the Wolves stank it up. There's some hope for this season to maybe play .500 ball, but I don't foresee much else.Especially since all we got was Boston's rejects in the KG trade..

but we got a championship-quality team. Uh.. thanks? :-)
