This matchup is probably the worst thing that could have happened. The team I root for in the NBA playoffs is whoever plays the hated Oklahoma City Thunder, but now it's the team that was stolen from our brothers to the North. It's kind of like the presidency for me. I don't like either one and I don't know which one to throw my vote behind. I'm definitely leaning toward Memphis, but I know how people in Vancouver feel about losing their team. The other problem I have is that I can't just ignore the series because I miss NBA basketball so much and having a team to root for. I miss the Sonics and want the Thunder to play poorly even though I love watching that team play ball. They have great players, who were drafted by Seattle, in Westbrook and Durant who play basketball the right way. I will probably still root for the Memphis Grizzlies (btw, it's silly when teams move and they don't change their name, I'm looking at you Utah) because it will pain me much more if the Blunder win the championship than the Grizzlies. I just wish it wouldn't have come to this and it makes me sad that if we get another team we'll have to steal it from another city. I just hope Sonics fans can be more respectful to the other city than the Blunder fans were to us.
