Team History:
The Oklahoma City Thunder is a professional basketball franchise based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It plays in the Northwest Division of the Western Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Thunder plays at Oklahoma City's Ford Center. The Thunder's NBA Development League affiliate is the Tulsa 66ers, which it also owns. Formerly the Seattle SuperSonics, the Thunder was established in 2008 after a dispute between owner Clay Bennett and lawmakers in Seattle, Washington. While still located in Seattle, the club qualified for the NBA Playoffs 20 times, won its division six times and won the 1979 NBA Championship against the Washington Bullets.

Season Preview:
This season will be a growing process not only for the young team but also for its fans. When the Hornets came to Oklahoma City a few years ago in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, people generally didn't see beyond Chris Paul. They hardly had any idea about the NBA at large. But now, with a team here permanently, the fans will generally become more acclimated to the NBA. What they don't have in knowledge right now they make up for with loud, college-like cheers.
