Tonight I'm happy to celebrate the culmination of seeing a banner raised for my NBA team [lineally through SEA to OKC, I didn't break that fandom]. I only paid 3 decades for it.... Could be worse.

Being a fan is a rough ride even if SEA/OKC has been relatively successful since the 90's, like making it to the Finals 3 times since I've been alive.... It only took Jordan and LeBron to beat the Sonics and Thunder lol.

It was the best of times, but it was also the worst of times... until finally OKC claimed the ultimate goal this year. Can't wait for SEA to get their Sonics back via expansion so I can resume my original fandom [it is stuck at the loading screen], but regardless, I don't care tonight. Banner to be raised. Thunder Up!
Cheers

We are so back!

Can't wait for the week 1 overreaction threads :)
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

Tmac and Carmelo Anthony are probably two of the last people I would want to hear talk about basketball when it comes to former players.

VC is good though.

These first 18 minutes of NBC's coverage have been about as bad as they could be.
