I Have a Passion for Thundering Up & Graphic Design
Been a basketball fan since I was a kid (and Thunder fan since day one), fell into the art and design world and then combined the two starting last season and especially ramped up around the playoffs. Doing lots of stuff again leading into this year's run, too! Hope you dig it.
Lakers seem to want that belt again.
That's all I need to say.
So Glad We Have Mark Instead of These Fake Demon Coaches
Watching the Nuggets-Wolves game right now and can’t believe the whininess of Finch and Adelman during the game compared to how tough they talk during press conferences. I would much rather have a level-headed guy like Mark who very rarely gets Ts than guys who can’t keep their cool and cost their team then blame the officials.
Daily Playoff Game Discussion Thread (for non Thunder games)
Mods, can we please have a daily pinned thread to discuss the non-Thunder games?
This thread be today’s discussion thread.
Today’s games are:
Toronto vs Cleveland
Minnesota vs Denver
Atlanta vs New York
Houston vs Los Angeles

clutchpoints.comWhy does OKC never have prime time playoff games?
This is the 3rd year in a row being the 1st seed and again, no primetime games in round one. Meanwhile, the Spurs, Celtics, Knicks, and Lakers all have at least one primetime game within their first few.
Playoff tickets
So we are half season ticket season holders and have great seats for the playoffs in 106. I had surgery this week and cannot go to any of the first round games. I have them listed in Ticketmaster with just enough bump up to cover insane fees with no takers yet. Too late to join the verified ticket seller group on FB for this season. Any other ideas as I don’t want to loose money on this. Are people not buying first round tickets? My few local friends weren’t interested either. Thanks!
Russell Westbrook and the Bank of New Zealand
Not sure if this was ever posted in this sub, but here in New Zeland we (Steven Adams) somehow managed to convince Russell Westbrook to feature in one of the main advertisements for the Bank of New Zealand. I rarely watch a youtube video where this ad doesn't pop up (cheers Rusell). A wee reminder of the worldwide support as the playoffs begin, thunder up!!
Lu Dort merch
My 5 year old is obsessed with Dort and her birthday is coming up in June and she’s asked for a Lu Dort Plush and Blanket.
Anyone know any reputable sites?
Even where I can maybe find a funko pop that isn’t $70+?
As far as the blanket goes, I’d like one with his photo vs just one that says his name. That seems to be hard to find on reputable sites.
Dillon Brooks comments
Hes a troll ffs, he plays with SGA and Dort for Canada. SGA even said that Brooks was a cool guy off the court. Stop giving Brooks any atention, hes gonna foul out in at least 2 games. Hes not good enough to hate.
Watch out Dillon!
12 hours away! I've been ready for this season to end for the last 4 months. Let's Go!
We only lost 7 games during our Championship run last year, how many losses do you see this year if we win it all
reddit.comAre we able to have a playoff thread for all other games in our subreddit?? The NBA threads for games are exhausting lol?
reddit.comWant To Know Dort’s Value
Watching Brandon Ingram in the first half go off against the Cavs today gives me another chance to remind the world what Lu Dort did to him in the first round of the 2024 Playoffs. Ingram was hitting fade aways, runners, step backs, and looked like he was All NBA. My son and I watched BI lose the will to play basketball in the final game where he was 2-14. At one point he got stopped on a drive, kicked it out, put his head down, and didn’t even look at the result of the play. You could see the doubt in himself all over his face. And just like now, Dort’s teammates were feeding off this energy. Those are the things Lu does for us that aren’t remembered, but show up in wins. I completely understand the fans who are skeptical of Lu because of his shooting, but this man is hugely responsible for the swarming, tough as Hell attacking defensive mentality that helped us win a championship and we will need him to keep being that guy to win another.
Fans with big heads, can yall do me a favor? (Hat related)
I have a big head and pretty much every cap I try doesn’t fit….except for 3XL 47brand hats, notably from bigheadcaps.com and bighatstore.com
You’ll notice they don’t have any Thunder hats, though… Apparently they do it based on popularity/requests.
If you’re like me and have a mansion upstairs, can you email those two websites and request a Thunder hat? I’d kill for a navy or black one. 😭 Or really any color except for orange or khaki lol.
Playoffs are officially back! The first free shirt at tomorrow's game!

youtube.comQuestion (new fan)
New fan of the okc here! I’m only a part of one other sports team subreddit and they have someone who does a separate game day thread and post game thread for each game. Is this something that’s ever been done over here and if so, can someone kindly point me in the right direction for tomorrow’s game? 😭 I’m just now getting back into basketball so I don’t know what would be relevant to include if one needed to be created, but my sub usually posts starting lineup, injuries, and season record as well as the date, time and opponent. Thanks all!
