The NBA Oklahoma Thunder are the Detroit Lions of the NBA.
The NBA Oklahoma Thunder are the Detroit Lions of the NBA.
Well, not exactly since the Thunder did win two games and the Lions are still searching for their first regular season victory in 2008.
The Thunder who moved in from rainy Seattle during the offseason are 2-24 and analysts are beginning to discuss the possibility of the team beating the futility mark of 9 wins in a season; an NBA record no team would want.
The Lions 0-14, who have found themselves a part of Jay Leno’s monologue many nights, have two tough games left on their schedule, at home against the New Orleans Saints and away in frigid Green Bay where the Cheese-heads always play to win, no matter how unimportant the game may be.
The Thunder will be trying to rebuild their team around Kevin Durant who leads the team in scoring with 23.2 PPG.
The Lions will be rebuilding around . . . well . . . insert your joke here Mr. Leno.
haha, gotta love the futility of such franchises. It’s especially funny because the Thunder just moved from Seattle. Sucks to be a Thunder fan (partly because of the team’s record, but mostly because it sucks to have a nickname as ‘Thunder’).
In response to your comment over at my blog– I completely agree about the Hawks game at Wrigley Field. I think that this could not set up any better for the NHL. You’ve got one of the biggest rivalries, two great teams (in 1st and 2nd), a historic venue, and insane fans from both teams. I can not wait for January 1st to be running up and down Sheffield Avenue like a crazy person, haha! -Kev
