The Kings and Mavericks will escape a visit to OKC, however: both team schedules [Sacramento, Dallas] at one point boasted of games "at Seattle." Sweet! The Sonics return for two games this year!

A few weeks back, an enterprising Oklahoma City news outfit deduced the moniker for that town's new NBA team would be Thunder. And what do you know, via TrueHoop, the NBA inadvertently leaked out the team name when it released its 2008-09 schedule today. Take a look at this screenshot from OKC blog The Lost Ogle.

Hear the roar, hear the Thunder

pathetic downfall of a once proud NBA franchise.
The owner is a liar and a thief, I hope the thunder follows the lighting bolt up his behind!
Wow, "Thunder" is a sucky team name, the other suggestions were much better. Really, what the hell's gonna be the mascot? A walking thunder bolt? And what's going to be at center court? A huge thunder bolt? That's pretty lame if you ask me....
Thunder is a SOUND. You're thinking of a lightning bolt.
I don't doubt they'll try to use a lightning bolt, though, which makes it even more lame.
this may be nothing but has anyone noticed that it says 2007- 2008 schedule??
not 08 -09.
seems to be a fraud.
but i dont know. plus it says oct.30 is a wed.
but this year its a thursday.
