NBA Store was selling a ‘Beat the Heat’ NBA Finals Thunder T-shirt (Picture)

Found June 09, 2012 on Larry Brown Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
TEAMS: Oklahoma City Thunder

From Larry Brown Sports:

It looks like the NBA Store jumped the gun yet again. For a brief period on Friday evening, a “Beat the Heat” Oklahoma City Thunder T-shirt (pictured above) was being sold on NBA.com. If you look carefully, you’ll notice an NBA Finals logo at the bottom of the shirt.

Even though the Thunder have already clinched a spot in the Finals, the problem is their opponent hasn’t been determined. The Heat and Celtics play Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals on Saturday evening, so there’s no point for Thunder fans to already concentrate on beating the Heat.

For more context, it looks like the NBA Store has been offering shirts that target the Thunder’s specific opponents throughout the playoffs. In a Google cache of the NBA store URL offering the shirt (the original link no longer works), the title of the shirt is “adidas Oklahoma City Thunder BEAT LA T-Shirt.” Take a look below:

I’m not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but this isn’t even the NBA Store’s biggest blunder of the year. They need to watch themselves a lot more closely.

Westbrook dunk, as shot by Phantom camera

Via Next Impulse Sports  |  June 07, 2012
Russell Westbrook takes no mercy on rims across the country when he plays and his dunk in Game 6 against the Spurs was no exception. The dunk was spectacular enough in real time but when the Phantom camera is doing its thing, it is a work of art. Enjoy. via NBA Article found on: Cosby Sweaters

  This is the trailer to Kevin Durant’s movie, Thunderstruck, which is to be released this summer — August 24th is the specific date — and watch in all of its epic terribleness. To be fair, it’s meant for the Disney-esque audience, and call me crazy, but I’d watch it. H/T NewsOK

No clear advantage between Thunder and Heat

If the Oklahoma City Thunder are to have a chance in the NBA Finals, theyll need to slow down LeBron James. Good luck. If the Miami Heat hope to have a shot, theyll have to try to contain Kevin Durant. Best wishes to them, too. If the Heats Dwyane Wade or Thunders Russell Westbrook go nuts well, were not really telling you anything you dont know. What makes these Finals so interesting...

Oklahoma City all grow'ed up

Via Crossover Chronicles  |  June 08, 2012
Oklahoma City trailed by 18 points... at home... in a closeout game... against a seasoned, veteran, championship team in San Antonio. It was both masterful and stunning. The Spurs looked invincible, playing free and loose for the first time since Game Two. The Thunder looked wide-eyed and overwhelmed by the moment and the pressure to finish with an amped up crowd at home. ...

"Kings win?" the Oklahoma City Thunder guard asked late Wednesday night. Informed they had lost to the New Jersey Devils, the former longtime Laker sighed. "So, Game 5 in L.A.?" Fisher inquired hopefully. "...

Kevin Durant is doing the unexpected, beating the San Antonio Spurs.
