Oklahoma City Thunder 2022-23 Season

[April in the Plaza]

Yeah, I think Baze will be traded at the deadline. Poor guy just didn't pan out, but hopefully he'll have a shot somewhere else, similar to Cam Payne.

J-Dub is looking absolutely amazing. Giddey's shot has improved nicely. Poku made a major jump, prior to his injury. With SGA and Chet, we have a very nice core moving forward.

J-Dub reminds me a bit of a young James Harden. Decent athlete but very crafty with the ball.

Having hard time believing this. I’ve been to several recent games and the crowds have really picked up. The crowds have been very good lately considering context.

You have good cause to doubt that. I was at that game and I'd estimate the attendance was a lot closer to the tickets sold than half of that number.

[FighttheGoodFight]

I would say the attendance is a lot better than last year. I go to about 20 games a season and last year there was some bare nights. So far it has looked much better this year. Team is playing well and it shows!

I was only talking about the Wizards game. I was there and I estimated one seat out of three were occupied.

I was there too. Saw something totally different.

Oklahoma City has the population base to support NBA basketball with a TV Market that includes Tulsa; combined represents a TV viewership of slightly in excess of 1.2 million.

We are fortunate to have an experienced GM in Sam Presti, who along with progressive city leaders recognize the value of the NBA in OKC.

This means there were 6,000 people there, which would be the worst attended Thunder game in history (saving only for the one they played during a snow storm). That's why it doesn't pass the smell test. I think your estimates are way off.

I remember the snow storm game; following the first quarter all fans in the upper deck were asked to move to the lower bowl and fill in the seats of 'no shows.'

IIRC you are correct Dan, around 6,200 fans showed up for that game.
