Hey, everyone.

We've done this in the past on the Orlando Magic forum, and I figured it'd be nice way to kick things off here on the new forum.

As the title suggests it's a sort of introduction thread for people to get to know one another and spark some discussion. I'll start it out with some basic stuff, feel free to add extra to it.

Hey, congrats to you NBA fans that finally get a team. I don't like how the whole situation played out, and I think Clay Bennett is a snake, and I've said some rough things through the whole process, and when the Hornets were in OKC, but I don't hate the fans, and I like to see real fans get a team(like when I finally got one).

I'm curious to see whether the Hornets get a standing ovation, or a shower of boos.

Point is, no hard feelings?

Intresting thread. I do not qualify as an OKC resident or fan, but I love everything NBA and hope the city embraces the team, which I think it will.

I really just wanted to wish you guys luck this upcoming season, but I kinda got sucked in. I hope to not be referred to as a dreaded "troll"---the root of all messageboard evil.

why would we boo your team? We got to see an up-and-coming team and bask in the greatness that is Chris Paul

^^That's kinda what I thought, but you never know, sports fans are an unpredictable bunch

i dont think the Hornets will get booed. Many people fell in love with them so it will be an interesting night when they play each other. The Hornets were the ones that helped put OKC in the running for a permanent team

I fully expect a standing ovation.
