    Like my bowels, we had some movement the other day in the standings. Some people came in strong, while some played it a little safer. Hint, the more wrong the guess, the more right you'll be. Thank you all for playing

    I blame English vowel placement. I before E means Shai before Shae. Webster was a Blazers hater.

    I blame Shawn Kemp for being one of my favorite non Blazers players ever while he was with the Sonics and then seeing the version we got. Never meet your heroes, I guess.

    I blame Howard Shultz, that bastard should have never sold the team to Clay Bennet, who was so obviously going to move the team to OKC. #SaveOurSonics. Please NBA do the right thing and bring a team back to Seattle, I miss the rivalry.

    Well since it's the Thunder edition I'll have to blame lightning since that's what follows thunder.

    I'm going to blame Timothy McVeigh or am I??? No I am because he's the only one we can put a name to for the Oklahoma City Bombing. I'm going to be honest with you guys, before the Oklahoma City Bombing I hadn't even heard of Oklahoma City... and there's the rub because I don't think OKC should actually have an NBA team. I think without all of the national publicity that McVeigh's (and maybe some others) depravity brought the city, the Thunder would still be the Sonics, the Sonics would still be in Seattle and we would have a legit rivalry.

    So, Fuck You Timothy McVeigh, for taking the lives of 168 people back in 1995 and fuck you for killing the Sonics, not close to as serious of a crime but still.

    I'm going to blame Dr. Phil. He's from Oklahoma City and he's a bitch. In fact I blame all famous people from OKC ( so many of them FYI) except Chuck Norris because, well , Chuck Norris.

    . "Shamen's Portal" in the sand dunes of Beaver's Dune State Park has been reported as a portal responsible for many mysterious deaths.

    [​IMG]
    Screenshot taken from Youtube user MysteriousOklahoma
    All the way back to the days of Coronado, people claim to have seen bright lights coming from the area and people disappearing. Coronado claims he lost 3 men when he crossed over this area on his way to Mexico. They were warned by the natives but didn't heed their warnings. It is said to be, "Oklahoma's version of the Bermuda Triangle."

    Olshey. I can't believe he offered that huge contract to Enes Freedom. Thank The Almighty that OKC matched... Dude couldn't play defense for shit.

    But Olshey never cared about that... And here we are...

    Well thank God for Grant. He and the Conductor saved us from almost winning that game. Scoot and Sharpe sitting in favor of Grant and Ant was the difference.
