Frylock Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 That's an awesome find! I was checking out the Trail Blazers schedule, and it says that Seattle is still in the league, but only for Blazers road games! Portland does, however, play host to OKC...From the sked-u-lee:February 6 @ SeattleFebruary 11 vs Oklahoma CityApril 3 @ SeattleApril 13 vs Oklahoma CityFunky stuff, and this is my 700th post here...

Arts11 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Well, if the Oklahoma City Thunder name is accompanied by a logo featuring a charging bison, I'm all for it.I'm pretty neutral towards the name "Thunder" (I'm not particularly enamored with it, but I don't hate it either), but I'd welcome it if they used a bison for the logo. But as long as the primary isn't just some generic, standalone thunder/lightning-bolt, I'll probably grow to accept it with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOLAnybody else think of black and yellow associated with thunder?Can't wait to see the uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbackdiehard17 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Well, Thunder stinks, but it is what it is.Any word on when they plan on unveiling the logo and uniforms, or are they just going to play in the generic black Orlando Summer league jerseys? (lol)... Hey, those were better then what Minnesota's new duds look like!Also just noticed in the link provided:http://www.nba.com/schedules/index.html?team=thunderIt says 2007-2008 schedule! Wow, they are making some major mistakes on that site! yeeshIt should be 2008-2009 unless I've been living a year ahead all this time, haha High Quality Entertainment for the masses.

philly97flyer Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 A little off topic I guess, but looking at the schedule I noticed the Sixers play an away game against the Knicks at Target Center and their last away game against the Cavs in Orlando. Anyone know if any other teams are doing this and why it is that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, back in the old days teams used to host such doubleheaders. Where the host team (usually New York) played one team and two other teams played in a second game.

I have several NBA guide books from that era and there were always a couple doubleheaders on the schedule.Can you imagine modern-day players going for that? I don't think so!

Someone might lose their job over that one.Good find.With any luck, it'd be the idiot who approved the team name. Not some lowly web content drone.

Audiodrama Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Also on the player profile page the drop-down box for the player compare has "Oklahoma City Thunder" as a team optionStrange how it's not listed in the correctly alphabetical order though.

LMU Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 the link to "Thunder" is still active here http://www.nba.com/schedules/national_tv_schedule/index.htmlYet not only does the team pulldown on the right still have Seattle, but it still has the Hornets as NO/Oklahoma City.They're really on top of things.

erlovepuck Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Looks like you guys are doing some good detective work. I hope if Thunder is the name they don't end up with an oversimplified logo because of the time restraints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
