I don’t know if everybody has seen this, it’s a little long but it’s definitely a good film. Made me really feel for the fans in Seattle.

Seattle is so p---ed at the NBA that the NBA channel is not available on the local cable network and I don't think NBA league pass is either. The divorce from David Stern is so complete that I doubt we will see a team up here for a long time - at least not until we get a new commissioner. Dang - look at how Oklahoma is doing. I could have been a qtr season ticket owner and saving my pennies for an active playoff campaign up here.

The theft of the Sonics angers me to no end, they were always my second favorite team, and OKC is not a city worthy of an NBA franchise.

Tell that to the fans that pack their arena at every home game.

The Sonics should have never left Seattle, I definitely agree with that, but I think Oklahoma City has proven that it's a good basketball city in its own right.

come on… Oklahoma has faced zero adversity, there’s not pressure because the team is so ahead of schedule. What happens when they fall short of expectations? Or if a major player leaves and they aren’t as good anymore?

OKC has been exciting and i love the energy that they show, but they aren’t a great basketball city because they’ve been successful for the first three years of existence.

By this reasoning, you just ruled out most NBA cities as good basketball cities - there are only a few cities that faithfully turn out for games even in rough times.  Heck, there are a few cities that don't even go to games when their team is winning (Toronto springs to mind).

But everything OKC has shown so far is excellent. Whether that changes - who knows. But right now, it's a great NBA market.

Your comment about the Raptors is untrue. Great fans in that city.
