I'm personally excited for this. Much better than the Bobcats I reckon

Failed once already, although I suppose you could say the same about the New Orleans Jazz. I'm not sold on Jordan as an owner, and I don't think the people in Carolina are interested in pro ball.
But no doubt, that's a better name than Bobcats. Too bad the Pelicans didn't sell the rights to that name when they released it. Or at least trade them for a draft pick.
Wasn't that a different assistant that got fired? Scalabrine got reassigned to their D League affiliate iirc.

True, but that's only because they have a terrible team.. The fan base is definitely there for basketball, just look at UNC...
I'd have to admit though, if I lived in Charlotte, I'd only be going to a bobcats game to watch the road team.
If they were to become a decent team I'd like to think that would change
Some of you may like this; I certainly enjoy this sort of thing
Oscar, Jordan, Durant, Duncan, Hakeem. Hard not to pick Magic, but this team will be hard to beat.

They were selling out every match the 1st 5-6 years of existance. Then the owner got cheap, had some kind of scandal and the fans left (having an awful team at the time hurt too). The Bobcats have been the most boring team in the NBA for years, though that's changing.
Adams has been excellent in the plays-offs. Thanks for Ibaka coming back. His presence and athleticism is a must if the Thunder want to go to the finals and give Miami a series.
Westbook's best game for ages. Good shooting and ball handling. No turnovers during the important stages. Needs to keep it up.
Keep Parker in check and sneak one out on the road.

Stockton, Jordan, Le Bron, Garnett and Shaq
Aye good player Adams his kiwi tenaciousness is a very handy trait for a centre. Hopefully take this in 6 and give Miami a proper wake up call after they sleep walked into the finals
Yup. Miami will still be heavy favorites. KD and Russ will have to play in beast mode for OKC to get anything for the series.
How useless is Indiana, btw.
George got the last touch there. Awww....
Edit: Wow! Looked like George had the last touch there.

Yup hope Indy takes it friggen hate the heat. Not fussed who ever wins out of spurs Indy or OKC. Would prefer the thunder of course. This thunder team has crazy potential Adams,ibaka,durant,westbrook, Jackson is a crazy good line up oldest is 25 as well with a solid 6th man and solid role players could be looking at a dynasty IMO
There were a grand total of 10 Miami fans before Shaq went there and won the title with Wade. It grew to about 150 after that and have exploded since LeBron decided to take his talents to South Beach. I too dislike LeBron, Miami and the fans.
I have been following KD's career since he first burst out on the scene at UT. Couldn't believe when the Blazers picked Oden ahead of him in the draft. Already one of my favorite all time players. OKC need to keep the core together. KD's MVP speech was pretty special; it sounded like these guys are together for the long haul.
