Christmas Round Table Part 2 – OKC Thunder dinner companion and last minute shopping
Someone gave me a scratch ticket as a gift and I won! The prize offers just enough money for you and I to attend a Thunder game. Unfortunately, we can’t attend the February 11th or March 20 Warriors games, but we can go to any other game. What game should we pick?
Eric Snyder: The game I want to go to is the March 11th game against the Utah Jazz. There will be a season long battle for Divisional glory between the two teams and this match-up should decide a lot. This game will mean more than a Pumpkin Spice Latte to a group of college girls.
Joshua Lea: I would sign up for the game versus Cleveland on February 9th . While I’m not the biggest LeBron James fan in the world, I feel like that game would be a good one. So long as Cleveland isn’t resting players.
Yaman Khabbaz: The Thunder-Cavaliers game on Feb. the 9th. It is the best game on the schedule other than the GSW games, since this is the Thunder being put to the test by the NBA champions.
Chris Hughes: Probably against the Cleveland Cavaliers, because LeBron is still the best player in the league outside of the Warriors. I also think that if the Cavs make another serious stab at the championship, or even go all the way, he could win the MVP award.
Cole Hixon: Thursday March 9th against the Spurs, because that is my birthday and what better way to spend it than at the Peake.
Casimir Cuffy: Well I’ve never been to any Thunder game so I would just like to see a competitive one. I think a good one is possible against the Spurs on March 9th.
Rich Condon: I’m going to cheat a bit because I’ve got 2 I can’t decide between. February 5th, when the Blazers come to town. The chance of Dame and Russ both going Super-Saiyan in an attempt to one-up each other is scintillating. Also, February 26 when New Orleans comes to town, simply because Anthony Davis (or the baby GOAT, as I call him) is must-see.
Tony Heim: Tuesday April 4th, one day away from my birthday. Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks come to town. I’m still not positive Giannis is real, so I gotta see him live. Plus I assume the tickets may be cheap and we could snag some better seats for our money.
Tamberlyn Richardson: I’m with my partner in BBall crime here. I’ve watched lots of Antetokounmpo this season on the big screen, but I’d like to witness it in person and count how many steps he actually does take to go full court. And I’m big on rookie Malcolm Brogdon
Heather Koontz: Let’s go to the March 5th game against the Dallas Mavericks. For three reasons: 1) There’s a good chance Dirk Nowitzki is going to retire after this season. And I’d like to say we saw him one more time before his departure (if his ankle is healed, of course). 2) The Mavs are currently in the conference’s last place, and they could use some love. And 3) I’d love nothing more than to watch Mark Cuban’s face as Westbrook earns another triple-double.
Jeremy Lambert: The Mavericks game in OKC (take your pick). Because the Mavericks are really bad and Russ will probably have some insane 40/20/10 stat line.
