    So stupid what happened. Makes me hate the Thunder and I shouldn't hate a team that had no say in moving just the owners being complete dicks. Glad the Thunder owner owes hundreds of millions and is pretty much broke.

    I don't know if I could stomach Seattle having Durant right now. I hate that city with a passion, and as much as I loved the rivalry, I'm glad they didn't get to keep KD. Rub that salt in the wound :grin:

    The #2 owner Aubrey McClendon, the one who funded the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads which claimed that Kerry had gotten his 3 Purple Hearts through fraud, and who funded anti-gay messages, has lived a billionaire's life purely on debt for at least 3 years. He's really worth nothing. On the ESPN Sonics board before the Okies got me banned, I used to call him Audrey. Here's the latest news.

    Thought Aubrey was owner #1, well I was basically correct.

    That's Bennett. Just remember Benedict Arnold and his wife Audrey.

    So %$#&@$ Up. That's like appointing Bernie Madoff as the head of the Fed.

    Brutal.

    And it's a damn shame that Clay and his cronies have an elite, title contending team for years to come.

    Key Arena is not suitable but neither is the town of OKC.

    It raced through events. It's a review for those who know the details. For the neophyte, it may whet the appetite to learn.

    But it just recites a list of events without giving background reasons for those events. When it ended I switched to Grizzlies-Clippers and I'll post my thoughts on Sonicsgate later.

    Not Audrey, please. I named my stray cat Audrey (for Audrey Hepburn, because the cat was such a waif, just like she was) before the vet informed me the cat was a neutered male and not a female.

    The cat then became Brandon. No explanation needed.

    There's no room for gender-neutral cat names? There was a football player named Autry and a few named Aubrey. I'm sure there will be one name Audrey. Maybe he will be a waif-like and lithe 6'6" kicker.

    Too bad you couldn't just go with Audie, after the straight up WWII tough guy Audie Murphy. If a cat has to suffer the indignity of being named for a human, Audie Murphy is about as tolerable as it gets. He killed over 240 of the enemy, along with destroying 6 tanks.

    Even most cats would recognize his general GI badassery.
