It’s time for episode two of the most popular game on Thunderous Intentions: the Oklahoma City Thunder Match Game.

Hello folks and thanks for joining us for another edition of Oklahoma City Thunder Match Game. Why are we doing this again? I have no idea. But as long as the checks keep rolling in, I’ll keep doing what the bosses ask.

Here’s how Match Game works: Two contestants will be given two different questions of fill-in-the-blank variety. The goal is to match as many answers as possible with our Thunderous Intentions panel.

Now, let’s say hello to the panel.

First, he’s the man who makes sure the checks roll in. And his mom writes me nice notes to go along with the checks. Please give a warm welcome to Tony Heim.

Next, he’s one of five people who runs the official Thunderous Intentions account, but he’s my favorite. He’s Cole Hixon.

Round out the top row is a man who needs no introduction.

On the bottom row. Oh great. How did these three get together? This is a conspiracy. I’m not giving them separate introductions because they are all the same person. Give it up for Heather Koontz, Tamberlyn Richardson and Rich Condon.

Today, we have two very special contestants.

First, he’s the former editor of the site and one of my best friends. Welcome back, Shawn Woods.

He’ll be going up against another former editor and another one of my best friends. Yes, I have a lot of best friends. Welcome, David Ramil.

IT’S A THUNDEROUS INTENTIONS REUNION!

Shawn was given first choice, and he chose Card B.

Card B: Steven Adams has been cast in a ‘Golden Girls’ reboot. The new name of the show is the ‘Golden (Blank).’

Shawn: Tooth

This is a reference to Steven Adams’ golden tooth. Don’t believe me that he has a golden tooth? To the footage:

Let’s see what the panel says.

Tony: Balls

Cole: Stache Bros

Heather: Giants

MUST READ: The Kiwi Bible – The ultimate guide to Steven Adams

Yaman: Ghouls

Tamber: Kiwi

Rich: Kiwis

Oh boy, here were go again. David will be given Card B.

Card B: Migos and Kyle Singler are collaborating. Their new song is titled ‘Bad at (Blank).’

David: Everything

Can’t argue with that.

Tony: Living up to a five-year contract

Cole: Being good (Note: Cole had an amazing ‘Bad and Dukie’ answer that I couldn’t use due to the phrasing. But I’m giving him a meaningless point for how good it was.)

Heather: Ball

Yaman: Basketball

Tamber: Ball

Rich: Basketball

Since David’s answer of “everything” is pretty all encompassing, technically, he matched with everyone. However, the judges won’t allow this. These judges are terrible and are trying to ensure that we never get a single match in this game. I’m on to you, judges.

After one round, it’s still 0-0. The Oklahoma City Thunder defense wishes they could do post numbers this good. On to round two. This time, David was given first choice and he went with Card A.

Card A: Russell Westbrook is so furious and bewildered – how furious and bewildered is he? – Russell Westbrook is so furious and bewildered that he showed up to the game wearing (Blank).

David: Dockers with no holes

Not sure there is a wrong answer on this one.

Tony: A non-existent Tony Durant jersey

Cole: Michael Jordan’s jeans

Related Story: Russell Westbrook is better than Kevin Durant

Heather: Rumble costume

Yaman: A ripped Kevin Durant jersey

Tamber: A referee jersey

Rich: A full karate uniform with a black belt

No matches, but we have successfully planned Westbrook’s outfit through the rest of the season. So, at least there’s that. One last chance. *Crosses fingers*

Card A: Headlining this Sunday’s Wrestlemania will be Semaj Christon vs. (Blank).

More from Thunderous Intentions

Shawn: Kyle Singler (To determine the team’s most incompetent player.)

That would be some battle.

Tony: Norris Cole

Cole: Norris Cole

Heather: Draymond Green

Yaman: Brock Lesnar

Tamber: The Bellas

Rich: Steph Curry (Hell in a Cell)

So close, and yet, so far away. For the second straight episode, we had no matches. On the bright side, we’re going to do this again in two weeks and give away a major prize to the first person to get a correct match with the panel. Want a shot at this prize?
