OUInsider - Owen Field

Of course, I hate it that someone ruined the postgame celebration in Bricktown by being stupid and taking shots at people. But from a purely athletic point of view, today is a great day! Thunder's 4-1 series win over Team Hollywood just makes my month.

I also heard some joker on KREF earlier (a caller) ripping anti-Laker people who are "crazy." I'm not. I just can't stand them. They're a great franchise, but it doesn't mean I "have to" do anything in terms of admiration for them. I hated them clear back to the West/Baylor days. And it was partly because they were so good and we lived in the Bay Area (home of the arch-rival San Francisco Warriors). I also just don't like anything LA, except for the Clippers (and that's only because of Blake Griffin).

And, if you lived in front-running Albuquerque like I do, you're aware of all the Laker mania that's drilled a hole in me for years. I won't gloat here in ABQ, but I'll just sit back and enjoy the Laker posse's group misery.
