Thunder Spoken Word Performance: Thunder Up, Son!

SBN: Welcome to Loud City (Zorgon) — Via ProdiJTV on YouTube and GRP Fly Clothing : As Thunder fans, we've had to deal with some bad music videos.

Why Kobe Bryant is NOT the Reason the Thunder are in Oklahoma City

SBN: Welcome to Loud City (Zorgon) — I know the premise of this article seems kind of silly, but it's a direct response to another article from The Lost Ogle . It's a site which I love and pretty much gets me through my day. They're 10 times funnier than I, and pretty much have the scoop on everything. But I'm not a fan of their NBA columns really, either because they're too basic or just flat out wrong. I wanted to throw out...

Behind the Box Score, where the Oklahoma City Thunder look better than everyone

Yahoo.com: Ball Don't Lie (Kelly Dwyer) — Oklahoma City Thunder 119, Los Angeles Lakers 90 (Thunder lead series, 1-0) It's a typical maneuver to overreact to a game like this. To go back on your initial guess that Oklahoma City would take the series in six games, and then wonder just how the Lakers will be able to stay in front of this team and not get blown out every night. We knew the Lakers would have trouble guarding Russell...

Was the 2011-12 Raptors Season A Failure?

SBN: Raptors HQ (Adam Francis) — 23 wins in 66 games was an improvement over the Raptors' 2010-11 campaign. But as Franchise notes, that doesn't necessarily make this past season a success. Let's go back a year. The Toronto Raptors had just come off an atrocious 22 win season, one of the worst in franchise history. Their key building blocks, Andrea Bargnani and DeMar DeRozan had again, showed little progress in terms...

The NBA Draft Lottery and the Houston Rockets

The Dream Shake (BD34) — Lately I’ve seen a lot of commentary on the Houston Chronicle and some posts here on The Dream Shake relating to the NBA’s draft lottery system. The common theme I have noticed is the sentiment that the Rockets are being punished by such a system. "The general lottery system punishes teams that are well managed and rewards teams that are awful!" is the rallying cry of this debate....

OKC Loud Links: Injuries Mount Across the Board

SBN: Welcome to Loud City (J.A. Sherman) — The Grizzlies and Clippers duked it out in another slug-fest last night, and I'm not sure whether we should be happy or sad that those two teams run through the other half of the bracket. In the process of the Clips failing to close it out, both Chris Paul and Blake Griffin sustained injuries that will make the aggressive Grizz all the more ready to knuckle up in Game 6. Westbrook...
