Is Oklahoma City a good basketball market, or are they just pretending?

>I can no longer say the lakers beat the supersonics
Fuck OKC, ugly ass logo too but there's fuck all to do in Oklahoma so they might be fine
It hasnt always been champagne and pizza. They had a couple bad years.

There is nothing else to do in Oklahoma except go to college football games and die in tornadoes, OKC will be fine.

Is this a five-star meal in Oklahoma?

OK Had a WNBA team the Tulsa Shock. They didn't give a fuck about womens' apehoop. Now team is relocated in Dallas.

Pretending, they memed their way into a contender on the backs of another city. The truth will come out once eternal mediocrity sets in.
They've showed lack of ambition after that final lost to Miami Heat. Kevin Durant did the right ting in leaving them to win the fucking title.

>wnba team failed in tulsa
first of all, this is like saying, "They put an NFL team in El Paso and it sucked, Texas hates football." This would be an idiotic argument.
Second, tho, I hope you're right and OKC relocates too. Since Dallas is taken, maybe a young, hip city, like.... Seattle?
they lucked into durant, westbrook, ibaka, and harden - and didn't win a championship. doomed.
that okc team should have got like 3 rings at least. harden durant westbrook ibaka
??? that's 4 allstars in your lineup bruh wtf

>assuming a market that small can afford big name players
I sincerely doubt there's a young Lebron in OKC hoping he can go to the Thunder for the sole purpose of winning one for Da City.
>>69369572
it's not. once russ leaves next year they will have to give tickets away

That sounds an awful lot like socialism, senpai, and we shoot commies around these parts.
>>69379315
Harden got way better after he left OKC.
>>69380020
Wouldn't you?

Idk about OK, but that sounds like one heck-of-a fancy meal in Indiana. Not even the most expensive item from Little Caesars fancy neither; I'm talking King's bbq chicken pizza fancy. The kinda thing you put on your nicest bowling shirt when eating.

You mean when the team first got there and the pieces were still forming but everyone knew they would gel because harden, durant, and westbrook are future hall of famers? Well now the viewers will find out how good the support is when there will be no good players there for the next 10-12 years.

i know he did im just saying if they had kept him the next year when he blew the fuck up in houston instead of the retarded (in hindsight) trade they did they would have probably won at least one title by now. they could have kept him and kendrick perkins by just going like 5 mil into the luxury tax the whole thing was stupid in the first place
Adams was gained out of the Harden trade.
Adams>Harden when we already had Durant
