Attendance is really keeping up.... Obviously the scapegoat will be season ticket sales, but the city really seems to be staying behind the team for now (trying to be as objective as possible). Obviously it's difficult to stay behind any team that is losing this many games, but since the coaching change the guys seem to be picking it up a bit more again. I don't think ppl around here are expecting wins, but just effort. I know from heading to the games on a pretty regular basis around here, the ticket is a pretty tough one to grab, so at least in short term we're looking pretty solid in fan support.

We really do appreciate the fact that we're privileged enough to have a team here that other people wish they had in their city, and hopefully we do not take it for granted.

Of course I'm grateful we have a NBA team but sans tonight, I hadn't watched any game since our 2nd win.

At least we're competitive now! Can't believe PJ refused to start Westbrook.

Yea, rough year for the Thunder, but with this years draft looking quite thin thats not a bad thing. Westbrook seems to be finally "getting it" and will eventually become an All-Star IMO, hes just so athletic. Durant and Green can co-exist as a forward combo as their bodies fill out, though they will need a very good rebounding/blocking center in the Dalembert/Camby/Bogut type mould to really work. Shooting guard shouldn't be hard to fill, and the bench can be bought via free agency. I'd be pretty please if I was a OKC fan I'd be optomistic, theres good pieces here.

so maggette made the difference in the game huh? haha

It ended up being close down the wire, but the consistent gap between the Thunder and some of the lower level teams in the league shows just how far the team has to go...

no, admittedly I've only seen a few minutes of him. Is he any different than he was on the clipps? He was a fairly solid player there, just seemed to be as motivated by his point total as the wins...
