They're going to not be "loud city" real quick once this team is broken up, they'll be a reincarnation of New Orleans the second this team reaches the lower ranks of the NBA, no way should a team have ever relocated there, let alone steal a franchise from Seattle. You can't tell me there would be fewer fans and less hysteria should Seattle be representing this current team.
I pledge very little allegiance towards Seattle, but fuck with the NW and you're going to be fucking with me, inbred dust collectors be damned.
I'm finding myself routing for LeBron, not so much Dwayne (my mother can't spell real well) Wade, god that guy is an ass. LeBron deserves a championship at some point, yes he is the real deal, yes he was an ass, but he's carrying himself much better these days and it's come to the point that I'll forgive him before Clay Bennett. Seattle had a fine arena, they still have a fine arena, especially considering that many of the arenas these days can't find corporate sponsors to support luxury suites. I still see very little reasoning to them needing a new arena to support a team, let alone a winning one such as this Thunder team.
