I like turtles...

oh yeah take the clippers with u.... go lakers

NUKE OKLAHOMA? are you kidding me? get over the fact that seattle obviously doesn't know what to do with a basketball team anymore....the team should have moved when payton and kemp left......now, stop crying and go get me and my new team some coffee

Ask the Hornets how many people came to the games....remember how they were thinking about staying in okc permanently, but the nba felt sorry for new orleans and figured that keeping the team there would be the only way to make the city some money? Not to mention the fact that Byron Scott still has the house he bought here in Oklahoma. As far as Iowa goes....how many people out of 100 would even be able to point out Iowa on a map? By the way OKC is the 31st most populated city in the nation....ahead of Atlanta,Sacramento, New Orleans, Cleveland.....should I go on? Do you seriously think anybody would put a pro team in Des Moines? Half the population of America can't even pronounce the name of that city correctly. Looks like it's about time for a reality check......

okboy, did you know oklahoma city was voted top ten worst cities in the WORLD!! google it! oh wait the internet hasn't made it to oklahoma yet. in the mean time why don't you get rid of some of the cars in your front yard.

f-a-g

Volcano....should I get rid of the Range Rover or the Benz? Next time you watch a sonics game oops...I mean the team formerly known as the sonics....look for me courtside.....I'll be the guy with the hot wife using an old sonics jersey for a napkin.....enjoy next season!!! Oh yeah and did you start your own blog or something about the worst cities in the world? I looked it up and didn't see anything about okc being in the top ten....but you can go to the forbes website and see what they have to say about us....you might be a little disappointed....sorry pal....keep trying....and hurry up with that coffee...I'm getting thirsty

whats there colors and team name gona be?!
im betting on oklahoma southern tropics with purple and neon green! omg! it would be radical! maybe if more people would go to games in seattle this wouldn't have happen.
hey!?!?! does durant have to do another jersey commercial!? and will he take off the seattle jersey and show the oklahoma one hahahaha.

now that is funny ha ha ha

apparently this is the new model for team acquisition, so what team are we gonna steal? perhaps the okc wannabees in say...10-15 years? that works. maybe they'll actually be good by then, cuz you're gonna be watching some weak ball for years to come.
BOYCOTT STARBUCKS!

I like the name okc knightriders

Nice .....show of class...downs syndrome....and beating on 4 year olds....way to go OKC....I hope Donovan is not your towns best.....I say weak.....Like his team...and his owners....You dont have the right to cheer for a team that has started losing before the season even started.....and as for the Blazers I will have the last laugh when your OKC No Names.....get run down....so just step aside admit that you don't know what your talking about put down your copy of NBA for dummies ....and move on to playing in the dirt on the family farm...

Wow, after reading some of these posts by small town OKC people, its obvious you guys are not a professional sports type of market. This joke of an OKC NBA team has to compete with other cities who can support the NFL/NBA/NHL/MLB at once, along with cities with deeper history of the NBA such as the Celtics and Lakers. You guys should not feel happy but feel lucky you can now see the likes of Bostons big three or Denver's Iverson and Melo duo, or the amazing sensation in Kobe Bryant. I'm not even a Sonics fan and I am disgusted the sonics are no more, I come from a city which is home to every single professional team, and myself along with the people of my city and espicially the writers for the local newspapers are making complete jokes of this whole situiation. This franchise will fail just as it did in seattle, with Utah, Portland and Iverson's Nuggets there is no promising future for the OKC team any time soon. OKC is not a professional franchise city, stick with the small town sooners and make everybody happy. Good luck OKC competing with bigger markets,(way bigger markets) and tough luck Seattle, im rooting for a franchise back there, because the NBA needs Seattle, NOT OKC!

Oklahoma Flycatchers - the scissor tailed flycatcher is the state bird
the colors are scooty black and scarlet (purple) it also has powder blue

sorry Oklahoma City Flycatchers
black, purple and carolina blue

why the necessity to belittle and denigrate okc and the state of oklahoma? i'm sure many of you who are doing so have never even been there or met its very friendly (though not always so evident in this thread) people. i don't live there, but i have spent time there and met some great people who are, and should be, proud to call themselves okies. anyway, i just don't see why some of you feel like you have to say negative and largely untrue things about an entire state and its residents, and subscribe to idiotic stereotypes, all because businessmen from oklahoma city were able do what they felt was a good thing for their hometown. i mean, who with the means to do so wouldn't do the same?
