Oklahoma City-Tulsa unite behind NBA

I thought I read that they weren't going to be playing any games in Tulsa either.  You'd think if they really wanted to build support here, that would be the first step.

I completely agree, and the new arena would be the perfect place for it.

Calling them the Oklahoma City Sonics does not bother me, perhaps I am in the minority there. But surely they would want to play just a few games a year in T-town to help foster support in the eastern half of the state.

I will support the team .... sure the word "City" will be there, but the word "Oklahoma" will be there as well, so when someone says the Oklahoma City Whatevers, do you really think that person up in say Vermont is really going to be thinking about the city or the state .... probably the state.

I love basketball much more than i dislike Cornett for being a jerk or dislike whatever they name the team. I will be going as much as my wallet and schedule allow. Say what you will about OKC, but I would rather go there than Dallas.
