Breaking news: the “Drive For Five” Bandwagon has broken down on the side of the road near the I-35 and I-40 junction. The big bus full of formerly jubilant San Antonio fans, is now left with two blown tires, a disheartened crowd, and the bus is unable to continue the trip to the NBA Finals because of sharp nails along the way: nails such as delivered by Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Hardin, Serge Ibaka, Kendrick Perkins, Nick Collison, Thabo Sefolosha, Derek Fisher, and the rest of the Thunder team. “The bus ran fine in San Antonio, where SA won one and barely lost another, but started experiencing big problems in OKC, where the speed limit is a little faster, and the cars are a little newer,” said Bus Driver Gregg Popovich. “We tried to make it, but the old bus just gave out. I can’t explain it. I think we experienced some bad weather here. Lots of frightening hail, lightning and Thunder, and then those nails really took the wind out of our tires.”

I love it when EVERYONE misses the point. The reason the watch party will end is because the crowds are too hard to control. This would have happened shooting or not. The punks who shot, well, they are punks like they have in every city. Even San Antonio. Leave it to Spurs fans to come in and brag on their city, which I know is far from perfect, I have a cousin who lives there, so hopefully we can grab a win or two and shut them up quickly.

My goodness ! It’s not even the NBA Finals….

I can imagine what would happen if your team made the

NBA finals?

Here in SA we celebrate together if anything our

spurs bring our city together from all walks of life

does not matter what side of town your in our spurs

unite our city ! It’s funny cause the national tv

stations call our city the “Boring” city why? Cause

we celebrate responsibly. No riots here, not yet at

least all facets of life here in SA all come together

united and back our Four Time NBA Champion Spurs !

” The Drive For Five!” Go Spurs Go !

Do like the airports in Europe. Put officers with automatic rifles in elevated areas that are visible from many directions. It sends a message the city is against violence. Or you can shut everything down to where people do not want to go downtown for fun. One thing leads to amother, if you can’t handle a Thunder crowd then you might get ready to close down Opening Night on New Yeae’s Eve.

“Knuckleheads” and “knuckleheadness”? Are these the new words for violent criminals and violent thuggery? Enough with the political correctness. Examples of knuckleheads are kids painting graffiti on public property. What happened outside the Thunder game was “assault with a deadly weapon.” Call a spade a spade.

I grew up in OKC. Looks like you’re in the “big league” now. Breaks my heart too, Jenni.

A lot of Mav fans pulling for the little Thunder.

I really hope that the actions of a few fools do not cause the city to close thunder alley. my grandsons love going down there because I am on a fixed income and can’t afford tickets they can still feel the excitement.
