I should clarify too that we’ve always had the cheapest tickets so there may be some purchasing perks for people who pay more that we don’t get. But idk.

In the past they have occasionally done that for the first round but they didn’t do it this year. It’s usually in years when demand is softer, I think (like the Paul George years). We only get our own seats for the playoffs every year if we renew for the following season. Decision is around March.

ticketmaster does include resale though, because that's where season ticket members sell their tickets (that's where i sell mine when i can't go). i think there's a way to see based on the color on the seat map whether it's resale or from the team.

Are these for season tickets? Ours went from $17/game to $100/game for the Finals. Which is a lot more expensive but still a lot less than they were selling single-game tickets for. But also we've had season tickets for 17 years so we've spent a lot over the years for sure.

the $10B valuation is another thing i'll think about if the thunder try to significantly raise the price of my tickets when the new arena we're paying for opens. (and actually, i kinda don't think they will. they were $10/game in 2008 and are $17/game in 2025, so they've been fair all these years.)

Hard to beat us twice in a row. Hard to beat them twice in a row too and we have to do it but we’ve been down before. We played better in this Game 3 than in Minny lol

We won’t turn it over 20 times again, Mathurin won’t shoot 138%, etc. … that happened tonight and we were in it until the end. I think we’ll be OK.

Speaking of. I’m too dumb to know which available version of the broadcast is sharpest/best. ATSC 4K antenna thing, ESPN app or DirecTV Stream. Is there a way to make the various apps or the TV itself tell me? Sorry for asking for free advice, I just always am interested in your posts on this.

Red Storm Rising was awesome. I think about it every time Keflavík comes up.

@cityofokc.bsky.social do not let the pacers land, make them drive down the turnpike like the rest of us

An aside but many people claim to have been at the "first" airport greeting and almost all of them are mistaken. The first one was entirely organic and it was the night of April 3, 2010, when the Thunder clinched the first playoff appearance and flew home from Dallas. Several dozen people there.

Also I'm just saying but we should flip our airport tradition on its head and greet the Pacers with an absolutely hostile crowd at the private air terminal.

those have been all over my IG feed lol ... i think the NBA should take a page from MLB's playbook and have teams wear jerseys like this on ring night after a championship

Not boiled, heated to the exact temp you want (rare, medium rare, whatever), and then finished. Fancy steakhouse technique. If you have a thick steak, essentially the entire steak is the perfect temperature instead of just the middle. You still get all the texture and smoke flavor.

for steak get a sous vide and just finish on the grill for the sear — perfection

⛈️ This postseason, OKC has piled up 170+ steals and 80+ blocks - a defensive stat line unmatched through three rounds in over 30 years.
