Besides their stellar play on the court this NBA season, there are two other things that are now synonomous with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The first is their rally cry of "Thunder Up."

MIAMI – In yesterday’s list where we discussed the five keys to winning Game 3, it was stated to win the Heat needed a big night from Dwyane Wade and they got that with his 25 points, seven rebounds and seven assists.
It was also stated that James Harden would have to come up big for the Thunder and he did not. The beard shot 2-for-10 and missed all four of his three-pointers...

With every NBA Finals game there seems to be somebody who sticks out as the scapegoat. After watching game 4 and scanning Twitter, it became pretty clear James Harden is the latest. His 9 points on 2-10 shooting just isn’t going to cut it if the Thunder have any chance of winning. Twitter, hateful as usual, let loose on the bearded baller. People are calling for him to pass, to...

Taking the Miami Heat's home crowd out of the game has never seemed particularly difficult. One decent scoring run by the opponent in the second half often is all it takes for apathy to set in for the slick-haired, well-tailored patrons -- and that is not even counting Pat Riley. The Oklahoma City Thunder created just that mood Sunday in the third quarter of Game 3 of the NBA...

2012 NBA Draft Rumors: Bobcats Looking to Deal No. 2 Pick for Gay or Harden; Will Draft Robinson Otherwise Then
The Charlotte Bobcats failed this off-season when they were unable to land the No. 1 overall pick (or, as we all know, Anthony Davis now) for this year’s NBA Draft during the lottery. With the second pick in their hands, they have many options to choose from: trade the pick, draft Thomas Robinson or draft Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
