I thought the plan was to give us a temporary home and prove they could support a team. Then get their own team.

Why you mad?

Because they support the team and we don’t?

Ownership gives team all necessary resources to make it a winning team.

Ownership cares for the fans, not there to make a quick buck of you?

They are getting a new arena and we are not?


NEW PAYCOM CENTER TO BE BUILT BY FLINTCO AND MORTENSON



Sounds like jealousy too me. You should be upset Tell Gayle you deserve better.

Yeah. What the hell is there to respect? Flooding pothole streets, dead bodies on display from the falsely inspected Hard Rock for months, a prison in shambles just 10 years old can’t keep prisoners!

Screw NOLA doesn’t deserve the Pels! Sell the team.

Thunder ownership is covering like 5% of the cost of that new arena with tax payers covering the rest. Poor example.

All that is true and I would still rather live there than Oklahoma City.

I’m glad someone posted this. I thought many on this board would be too young to know or wasn’t able to follow along. But I followed it closely on an old Pelicans board. There were guys there Harveyhornet and westcoasthornet for example that got a lot of inside info in those days. This was a flat out attempt to poach our team during the worst American tragedy. And their leaders were ugly about it. It was disgraceful in every way. David Stern really never loved the New Orleans market but he saved the NBA in New Orleans at that time Shinn was begging to go there. I remember him visiting there for a game and calling them a small city when they were pushing for him to say “major” league. Even our radio guy Sean something of other was in on it because he was from that area. So yeah I celebrated that shot last night like it was a Saints playoff win and I don’t even care much about the NBA at this time. There’s a forever sin on that place.

Poor example? They at least getting moneys worth with a winning franchise. What has Gayle, Teedy, Lil Susan, Donald’s friend given you? At least in Oklahoma they don’t elect dummies. I’ll gladly pay tax for a new arena if I knew I was getting a good product.

I love true idea of OKC fans drinking their own bitter tears. I had many a battle on their stupid website in 2006-208 or so…

It's a poor example bringing up the new arena, not their franchise as a whole. Obviously they are doing great right now and we would love to be where they are. Bringing up the new arena to dunk on Gayle was dumb when the Thunder are only putting up 5% of the costs.

I've hated them for over 19 years now for this act and you are lost in the woods on a dumb agenda trying to come up with any other logic behind the hatred.
