WCF Game 3

Thursday, May 31st, 2012

At home, at Chesapeake Energy Arena or even on the road, I think our city was ready to welcome home our Thunder for Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

Remember, keep tagging your photos with #thunderfanpix on Twitter and Instagram! GO Thunder!

One OKC – even for some visitors

Thursday, May 31st, 2012

When we say everybody in Chesapeake Energy Arena gets a T-shirt, we mean everybody – even some of our special guests:

Tune in to TNT tonight and see what Ernie, Kenny, Charles and Shaq think of their shirts!

Stay safe, fans …

Thunder fans, if you live in central OK and have been tuning in to Game 2, flip your TV over to check one of the local stations when you can to check out the radar. Make sure you’re paying attention to any sirens in your area, and stay safe out there!

Thabo TV-again

Monday, May 28th, 2012

We told you last year during the first round series vs Denver about Olivier Riethauser from Swiss TV, covering Switzerland’s favorite son, Thabo Sefolosha in the Playoffs. Olivier is back and doing great work following Thabo. Here’s his report.  http://youtu.be/ok_kmk1ByHs

You know you want more #thunderfanpix

Friday, May 25th, 2012

It’s another lengthy stretch between games – at least, it seems like an eternity for Thunder fans. But you keep painting your nails blue, putting on gear every morning and showing your Thunder pride, and we love seeing your pix. Remember to tag your photos with #thunderfanpix on Twitter or Instagram. Only two more days ’til Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals!

Rumbling the Big 12

Friday, May 25th, 2012

Thunder Basketball isn’t the only game in town this time of year. Over at the ballpark in Bricktown, the Big 12 baseball tournament got under way earlier this week. Perhaps in a test to see just how great an all-around athlete our Rumble the Bison is, they asked him to throw out the first pitch and kick off the weekend’s events. No report from the furry one whether his pitch made it over the plate (Update: he threw a strike!), but it looks like he had pretty good form.

Start ‘em early

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012

Jared and Reagan Johnson are pretty excited about two things right now: Thunder Basketball, and the fact that they’re expecting a baby in December.

So this morning, when they decided to let their Twitter friends and followers know about the pending arrival of the world’s littlest Thunder fan, they combined those two sources of excitement in their announcement:

Jared noted via email that they’re having to enjoy the Thunder playoff run from a distance; he and his wife are “displaced Okies living in Wake Forest, N.C.,” but they are hoping to make a trip back to Oklahoma during the Playoffs.

Congratulations to Jared and Reagan, and big points for creativity!
