Oklahoma City gives the Thunder a standing ovation

[payneicecold3000]

OKC vs Bulls in the finals

[theoochable]

Chicago fans best in the east okc fans best in the west we'll find out who's the best in June guarantee

[TheSportsman131]

@theoochable dunno. neither team has made it past the first 3 rounds. im a bulls fan, so im not hating. but the heat are gonna be a bitch, just like the mj bulls vs the bad boy pistons. its gonna be that grueling for chicago. i still think LAL, Dallas, and a full strength portland can challenge okc as well

[Trancemaster2052]

Best game I've ever been to. Period. Unforgettable.

[ktolbert8828]

I hate auto correct

[ktolbert8828]

Good*

[ktolbert8828]

All y'all that are trying to say we were only fans when we for food are full of yourself and jelous. As soon as the team got here we sold out ticket sales, hell we sold out when New Orleans was posted up on OKC!!! Hi Haters!

[ahmedq8i]

IF westbrook got that shot in it would have counted

[KingofDaCourt12]

what if westbrook got that shot?

[enigmaballer24]

@KingofDaCourt12 the fans would have broken the sound barrier

[butterflysenorita]

I'm proud to call myself a die-hard Thunder fan.

[catmansmith33]

I was at this game...all I can say is I've been to a few games at Allen Fieldhouse and the crowd that night was just as loud. There was so much emotion and intensity. The announcers commented on how the crowd cheered the team after the buzzer...well, it didn't end there. As people were exiting the building they were chanting O-K-C. It was very moving and surreal. I'll never forget it.

[OklahomaGrl28]

Best Fans! Best Players! Best City!

[NiqueBrazy]

BEST FANS IN THE NBA! A

[AndrizzleCheck]

The game was over 5 minutes ago and the crowd is still cheering like they won. That is pure awesome. How many other arenas would have been half empty by the time Kobe was interviewing? OKC is lucky.

[Sonido007]

@AndrizzleCheck Well when you sucked for years and suddenly make the Playoffs and play the former champions and actually do well, then you are bound to have loyal and loud fans.

[Deejeezy405]

I'm a die-hard Lakers fan. I have been my entire life. I also live in OKC and I have three words to say: FUCK THE THUNDER!

[febyabie]

OKC Fans. Simply loud and the best. They dont call them LOUD CITY FOR NOTHING!

[lovechicken0]

this gave me chills

[sargefalconman]

Real fans. They are really loud and this is coming from a lakers fan.

[jaraha]

@sargefalconman - wow, coming from a Lakers fan, huh? Lakers fans are known for being quiet, hahaha

[tmckinsey79]

@jrodr167 Dream on bro, should have supported them while they were there. Thanks for the team!!!!

[jrodr167]

That should have been in seattle.

[EGS91597]

go thunder go

[TFSRaider]

This team should stay in Seattle...

[intfor18]

That was one hell of a series.

[XxBFMV24xX]

those are real fans

[magepunk9]

Damn i felt so bad for them, i hate seeing teams lose

[llJAFYll]

okc will win someday. no sarcasm.

[strigen]

I love the slow-mos on Pau's reaction shots.

[gvbybg]

Little bitches lost and are going to lose again FUCK OKC!!!

[magepunk9]

@gvbybg stfu

[JakeyD1992]

@gvbybg

You must be a Memphis fan ;)

[Sonido007]

@gvbybg The fuck is wrong with you? They are one of the youngest team in the NBA, yet they went to the WCF, ahead of schedule FOR SURE, your just a ignorant little piss off, so guess what, piss off.

[guitarsANDcars39]

okc has good fans.

[Daytripn]

Oklahoma Loves Thunder! The great thing about OK is win or lose we are loyal, it builds great teams. Look where we are this year! I remember when theymoved here, all the sports commentaters said it would be 4 or 5 years before we could even be considered as a playoff contender. This team has heart!

[laurenmckinney]

Class.

[robbcayman]

What class!!!

[kd35WINasONE]

THUNDER UP!

[T82486]

This wasn't no standing ovation for the Thunder, though they did have a great season....this was a standing ovation for the Defending Champions for coming out and busting that ass. We appreciate the love....we know we're good.

[oukurt]

@T82486 Yes you should be proud of the Lakers. Class act. A rapist and a couple of cheap shot artists. Be proud.

[TheSocialGadfly]

@T82486

"We appreciate the love....we know we're good."

Do you play for the Los Angeles Lakers?

[kobemvpbryant248]

it sounded like it was raining... damn those thunder fans

[KhidFresh]

Its about time Playoff season has arrived! It feels so good to be a Thunder fan, i hope the OKC Arena has another Blue/White Out, that scene was incredible espicially the loudness :)

[tylerdurdenmakesoap]

Also a Celtic fan as for last year the Lakers won it but the C's should be proud becuase for 6 games and 47 and a half minutes the title was up in the air .

[tribefanjames]

Thunder fans remind me of Cleveland fans, they love the team no matter what... You'd never see Pittsburgh or New York fans respond to a loss like that Congrats Thunder fans! I hope OKC wins the Finals

[sargefalconman]

Im a Laker fan but the Thunder fans are really loud and gives respect especially the game 6. This thunder team coming in from seattle with losing records and then moved into the playoffs for the first time. The crowd was so loud and gave them an ovation to their best season and gave it all and gave them an ovation to LA too for good luck. That is respect

[jervie40]

That is without a doubt one of the most touching I've ever seen in sports. It's not often that the fans pay that kind of homage, and show that kind of respect for any team. Though I'm a Lakers fan through and through, I love how the fans of Oklahoma City support their team. Oklahoma Thunder, you have the best fans in ALL OF SPORTS.

[TheRickareal]

This would never happen here in New York City. Whenever one of our teams loses a playoff series, the place, whether it's Yankee Stadium or Madison Square Garden, goes dead silent. Can't say anything about the Mets because they can't even make it to the playoffs!!! LOL. But that's great that the Thunder fans have great respect for their team!!!

[100slicknick]

Im a grizzlies fan but i will admit, the Thunder have one of the best if not the best home court advantages in the NBA. They have a great crowd every night, and they are very supportive of their Thunder and have great sportsmanship. Shoutout to the Thunder Fans!

[Tixler]

I really feel great things coming for the Thunder. I think OKC is next in line for the wests' throne after the Lakers era is over. (coming from a Lakers fan) :)

[156goldrush]

2011 CHICAGO BULLS AND 2011 OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER will be beast in playoffs

[501stEliteClone]

@156goldrush as much as i want okc to win and the bulls to go BACK to the finals its gunna be a tough journey. CONSIDERING THE CELTICS LAKERS DALLAS HEAT KNICKS AND SPURS. Lots of people want it and those players are young in chicago and okc .

[FuckWhatYaThink]

@501stEliteClone Celtics are done.(need to rebuild) Lakers are done.(kobe's last year) Dallas is done. (half the team is retiring) Heat wont see them til the finals. Knicks idk what to say about them i didnt watch them much last year. and Spurs are old idk who will retire but they are a great team

[501stEliteClone]

@FuckWhatYaThink u said kobe is done u say this is his last year what r u talking about he is only 33, jordan won his second threepeat 33 34 35 he still has some step its not like he cant compete. Spurs and celtics may be cuz alot of their stars are already at 34 -36 ..........

[FuckWhatYaThink]

@501stEliteClone did jordan come straight from high school to the nba? no okay. it doesnt matter about age. different people retire at different stages of their lives. Kobe is worn down. he has maybe one or two good years in him. dont get your hopes up now

[501stEliteClone]

@FuckWhatYaThink well because of this lockout he has gotten some rest because of that knee treatment he had. We might see the old kobe again .... all i can hope for is we see the old kobe and get dhoward so that kobe can finally get that 6th ring and go down as the best laker ever. Then he would finish his legacy and pass the torch down to lebron or durant or drose.

[FuckWhatYaThink]

@501stEliteClone i doubt they will win a championship though, giving the fact Durant is constantly getting better and better. and LeBron is in his prime with Dwade kinda like his old self and Bosh is getting a little better. but idk thats just my opinion. we wont know the facts until we see them.

[Vam999]

LAKERS fan here <--- I got soooooooooooo much respect fot OKC! I hope KD and Westbrook win a Championship before LeJoke does... LAKERS AND THUNDER = My two fav teams!

Good luck to OKC this year!

[soccer22champ]

Thunders fans = best fans in the NBA

[sikokiller12]

OKC gave us a shock.. i didn't expect them to play this hard

[LeTZGoHeaT]

true fans right there man

[AHL13NYC]

Im a celtics fan and okc fan and i have to say this young squad is very under rated.

[brianc818]

Laker fan, but i dont have any ill for the thunder...yet! they were a good team though i like that they're not full of themselves like other teams i know. Good coach and for the most part good players. Good luck in the playoffs OKC!!!

[jordy1685]

i was at game 6 and when gasol made that tip my heart dropped, we battled that whole game from the behind the whole game and when we took the lead in the 4th that place went crazy, they left it all out on the floor, we'll be back in playoffs in 2011 though Thunder up!

[lalotrejo]

wow, what fans these are , they're awesome, and the thunder will reward them by making it to the playoffs again =)

[vsmcax1007]

Wow so it's not like Seattle fans would've had an even greater response in that same situation ?? Especially after having to endure a lot of mediocre/crap years so that OKC could even get the draft picks that turned into Durant and Westbrook?. OKC deserves a team...it's too bad that things happened the way they did...but they should've just ended up with the Hornets permanantly..especially cuz' now NO is a failing franchise (much more than the Sonics ever were) and the NBA has to bail them out.

[neerrg]

Its easy to give an ovation when nobody expected anything out of you and you've never won anything.

[swingingfordearlife]

@neerrg That's because they're a very young new team. They got this far after being in OKC for only TWO years. Come on, that's pretty good. I'm a Lakers fan but I love the Thunder

[neerrg]

@swingingfordearlife It is good. Didn't say it wasn't

[swingingfordearlife]

@neerrg Oh. Okay. haha

[HARDisTHEword]

I'm a Lakers and Kobe Bryant fans first of all.

I think OKC fans are so great! They always cheer their team so hearty and with great sport spirit. Sometimes I feel shame for not doing a better job than them.

[D34NxWH1T3]

this probably the hardest series for the lakers, besides, the celtics

[koolfool1]

and I wish the Thunder the best of luck other than against the Lakers of course lol but I'll be supporting them all season

[koolfool1]

Oklahoma for sure was the right move to give them a NBA team, they really do support their team, But its sad that the sonics ended in Seattle they shouldve moved the Clippers not them

[CheeseCakesGFX]

That was a great series to watch, it was pretty epic, hopefully we will do that again next April but in the WCF, My Lakers vs OKC

[bashmo]

the reason this series went to six games was cuz of russel westbrook this guy played great even with durant strugglin with Ron Artest westbrook had a great series. when he hit that and1 late in this game the crowd was soo loud had to turn my tv down lool

[puffykilled2pac]

As a Sonics fans I was pissed that they were doing so well off the draft picks made from the crappy seasons we had to endure, but it was still crushing to see them miss that shot, would have been fucking awesome if they upset the Lakers.

[xIISuPeRMaN]

Wow This was an unbelievable Season I'll tell you what If the Thunder Keep this amazing young talented Starting 5 there going to be BIG !! People are saying its the Miami Heats Dynasty I say its OKC's Future and they will win a Championship before the Heat when the Lakers and Kobe steps down

[shottydemon19]

i was at the game

[kpsworld20]

i was happy my team won but i was also applauding the thunder, it's always great to see a young team grow up together and become something special. i hope they get a championship before the super-friends do down in florida.

[stevechen1991]

OKC vs Lakers this year in the west finals!

[deathguitrst]

as a lakers fan. this loss will only make this team stronger, but that just means there's some good games coming up : )

[Theoxiaus]

I just hope the Thunder get a new logo and some new colors. the stuff they have now is so generic!

[karan6]

you cant hate a team that in there 2nd season made it to the playoffs specially when they where like the worst team the season before give em a couple more years maybe they can get some better players to help Durant an they will be contenders In the west I bet

[saenchai]

@karan6 i agree

[Killagy]

....with things looking right now, Durant without a doubt has the potential, not to mention the drive, to surpass Kobe, and perhaps, and I say this lightly, perhaps even be on par with the GOAT.

Durant and the rest of the Thunder are definitely the team most likely to explode and totally dominate the West Conference this decade. Hell, with their young players and talent, they're a pretty damn close comparison to Jordan's Bulls of the 80s. Trust me, they are going blow up.

[Killagy]

No disrespect on my man Kobe, but the Black Mamba is nearing the end of his prime. Durant is still young, he's only what, 21-22? 3rd year of his career and he has already won a scoring championship and earned an All-Star appearance?

Kobe didn't average 20+ points per game 'til his fourth season.

Kev did that in his second year, and topped the following season off with a 30+ point per game season which secured him the scoring title.

As of now, Kobe still holds the title but

[BasketBoffalora]

This is class. Fantastic, goosebumps. This is what sport is all about.

[quintonmino89]

This is why Oklahoma City has an NBA team ... Great fans who understand the game.

[PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD]

This Lakers-Thunders series easily could've been game 7 and from there either team could've won. The Lakers definitely squeaked by the Thunder. Durant is the future MVP of the league.

[DjWade3734]

i wish they were still in seattle

[Trancemaster2052]

@DjWade3734 Maybe Seattle would still have an NBA team... if they hadn't sucked so much and the fans actually supported them. Truth is they failed as an organization, and we (Oklahoma City) got the Thunder. We're passionate about our team and we're becoming a force to be reckoned with in the NBA. We gave the Lakers a hell of a fight in the playoffs and we're going to be even better next season.

[KhidFresh]

Next season WHEN the Thunder make it to the playoffs I hope all the fans are wearing the same T-shirts, that was one of best moments in NBA history.

[KhidFresh]

i hope next season WHEN the Thunder ma

[redassasain18]

ts funny because going into this game every nba anaylist and ever la fan i knew was saying "sweep" and we gave the lakers their hardest task in the western conference.

[Kiran7991]

Kobe is the best so suck it all u arrogant stupid clueless thunder fans!!! Watch lakers win in game 7 bitches !

[nextbestrockstar]

@Kiran7991 classic laker fan jackass. you do good for your team

[cky18200]

im a huge celtics fan, but even though they lost, i think it was great just when it seems like youve lost it all, you got the sixth man(Fans) cheering you on.

[MrKDub77]

I was really hurt broken after that lost..I was at games 3 and 4 and these are the best fans in the NBA.

[Frekazoid30000000000]

Kobe is a Man

[soonermagic24]

@Frekazoid30000000000 kobe is a bitch! he needs to dive head first off his house, and just go away already

[jaznpwnz]

One of my favorite fan appreciation moments in NBA history. I can't wait to see OKC in years to come.

[beatcavs09]

Thunder performed at a level well above expectations. Durant, Westbrook, Harden and Company have to take this series as a learning experience. Their lack of experience was what made them lose the first round. In terms of talent, Thunder are easily one of the best, if not, the best team in the NBA. Other than Durant, none of the other players get the national respect they deserve, especially Westbrook

[SuperDiego34]

='( Very disappointed, go OKC next season you'll win ! OKC forever and I can only applaud these players who are very strong.. Good luck for next game against Utah!

[ttinsley23]

Great team. Great fans. Great sports city. Thunder are a force to be reckoned with for the next decade.

[zremorca]

being a Thunder fan, i was tempted to become bitter immediately, but seeing my fellow fans applaud the guys, i have to tip my hat to the Lakers for a great series. Good luck Lakers!

[RTR9]

@zremorca Man, Thank you lol That series was awesome. RESPECT for sure. I think the only fans and only team who respects us is OKC. Much Respect to you.

[zremorca]

@RTR9 Same to you bro :D

[ttinsley23]

@zremorca I too am a huge Thunder fan and I respect your comment but ARE YOU SERIOUS WITH THE GOOD LUCK LAKERS?! That might be the corniest/most ridiculous comment I've ever read... They are the LA Lakers. We do not root or wish luck to a team that is already favored to make it to the finals. Instead I would say "Good series Lakers but screw you."

[zremorca]

@ttinsley23 what a way to have class man. that's as bad as those celtic freaks go.

[Synicaalescape]

@ttinsley23 It's called class. Maybe you should learn some?

[RTR9]

@zremorca you guys are the only fans who respect us and that takes a lot from a fan to respect a lakers team and fans. Respect you guys and im ready from round 2 this yr;) bring it lol

[Jayugly93]

@zremorca Now u Guys Take It This Season :/We Got Elimated

U guys Are the Only Choice I Would Take To The Finals

[eriurgirl]

@zremorca oh yea they lost to the mavs in west finals but their are a young team they have more chances.
