The Chicago Bulls have ruined the NBA for me. I can’t remember the last time I sat down and watched a full game and enjoyed it because even when the Bulls win, I know they’ll lose the next three so I never get my hopes up or get excited for basketball. Our owner is trash and is okay with mediocrity as long as fans are filling the seats.
To really get into NBA basketball again in the meantime, I chose to join the Thunder bandwagon because while they haven’t reached the peak yet, they are set up extremely well for the future with a boat load of draft capital, exciting young guys in Chet, Jalen Williams, Giddey, and one of my favorite players league wide and a bonafide superstar (imo) in Shai. What else do I need to know about the Thunder? Not too familiar with the role players, rotations, coaches, GM and such, but I’m finally excited to watch and root for a young up and coming team where I can have hope versus rooting for the rudderless Bulls. Excited to join the wagon; let me know about anything I need to know, good beat writers to follow and answers on the items above.
Welcome aboard! THUNDER UP!
One addition to the comments here: as a new Thunder fan you should know that Russell Westbrook is the godfather of OKC basketball. No hating on Russ! 😁
