The Oklahoma City Thunder have another day off today before taking on the Portand Trail Blazers, at the Ford Center, on Friday night. So, before we get to the actual game preview tomorrow morning, I thought it would be fun to throw out a peace offering to the wildly fun members over at Blazers Edge. When I made the move to SBNation, it wasn't much more than a week before the Thunder had a matchup with the Blazers, and I found out rather quickly that "Blazers Edge" has fans that will travel. WTLC saw traffic spikes that over two months later, hold up as some of the most traffic'd days in our short history. I look forward to the game tomorrow night, and all the Bedge fans making their way over to read our game preview, and get a little perspective from the enemy, as well as those who join our Live Game Commenting thread in addition to their own. In honor of this new rivalry, I've created a small peace offering, in the form of a wallpaper for the great fans over at the Bedge. Check out the full post to see the wallpaper. I've included several sizes.
You can see what it looks like below, but that image is not Full Size.

Thanks for the offering, but I still hate your owners. The team will always be the Seattle Supersonics in my heart and mind.
Just how it is.
Good luck tomorrow.

lol, you'll have an Army of your own someday
Durrant could eventually rival the Iversons, and Wades for scoring titles, and Green and Westbrook round out a very nice little core. BEdge wanted Westbrook before presti swooped him. Greens always been a favorite of mine, as I see him having a well rounded game. Thabos’ been a nice little pickup for you guys, and is making his presence felt on the defensive end. Then you have a very unfair amount of picks coming on which to continue building your offensive juggernaut.
hmmm. I don’t know if being friends with you would be such a good idea….

Hear comes Rodriguez, no look to FerNANDEZ - WHAT A PLAY!!?!! HOW did they Pull That Off - FERNANDEZ THE STEAL - GOOD IF IT GOES -AAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!!1111!!!!!!!!! - Kevin Harlan
Don'f forget how ridiculously under the cap they are
with the right moves, it’s playoffs as soon as next year. Long shot, but possible given how they’ve played the second half of the season. Stupid Durant.

Peace offering? How about an upset!
The Thunder took out the Spurs for the Nuggets … they’ve gone 0-3 versus the Nuggets and they can still give Denver a few more favors …
April 3rd in OK City … take out the Blazers like we know you can.
April 8th in Denver … get swept by the Nuggets.
April 13th in Portland … please take out the Blazers again … or at least tire them out before their game w/ Denver!
thanks,
Nate over at Pickaxe and Roll!!
Boooo!

you can't sweep us
if we beat you at home already which we did on Dec. 23rd, and we will do it again at the end of the season, unless you mean home sweep, which most western conference rivals do to each other.
He's talking about sweeping the Soni.... erm... the Thunder

lol, sorry, I must have misread,
I thought you were telling the Nugget guy that the Nuggets couldn’t sweep the Blazers. Since the Nugget guy never mentioned sweeping the Blazers, I was confused. My bad, haha

Denver doesn't need favors
If Denver loses the division to the Blazers, it’ll take an act from the BlogGods. You’re closing schedule is hands down the easiest in the west. Lose the division, and I’m afraid Denver is a lock for being ousted in the first round.
What are you impressions of Roy?
"He's just a very, very good basketball player. Very smart. Very heady. He can do a little bit of everything on the court. As coaches, when we scout Portland we kind of put him in the same category as Kobe (Bryant), LeBron (James), Dwyane Wade. We treat him the same. He's that good."

The peace offering is appreciated…a wallpaper for the ages.
Your debt to the pacific northwest has decreased just a little
I say we experiment this game...
For this one game, we’ll take Durant, and you can have Oden. It’ll be fun. Deal?
Wow. I feel honored and my life is complete.
Another SBN blog is using the affectionate name I coined for Blazersedge, The Bedge, and it’s being commemorated in a a lovely wallpaper.

Funny
Hope it is a good game tonight…but go Blazers!
Sometimes I feel like I'm going in different directions...
Go Thunder!
Let’s show these blazers who… … wait a sec…. …i’m not a thunder fan, Bo Glazers!, I mean, Go Bail Trazers, er, Go Portland!
We appreciate the offer of tribute.
and accept it almost gracefully. Here’s to hoping for a good game, with the best team winning.
With the best team being Portland.

This will have to be my new wallpaper, but thanks for the peace offering.

A hearty Thank You to you Mr. Pappagiorgio.
I’ll be pulling for you guys when you play the Nuggets.
Patience is underrated. Fan opinons are overrated. So, yes, that means that I too am overrated.
or any other Wester playoff team aside from the blazers

Thanks for the peace offering
Now, don’t be haters…..just let Portland win tomorrow.
The Thunder errr I mean the Sonics are going to have plenty of good years to come.
i see what you did there.

I doubt
there’ll be more peace offerings once OKC gets Griffin. That will be a dangerous team.

Then froze only to blow the herb smoke through my nose
We rock the intrawebs
And I’d like to have a strong opinion about The Team That Shall Not Be Named, but since you guys hi-jacked our rivals to the north I have nothing but apathy to the whole franchise. I guess the drug companies could thank you, since the antidepressant prescriptions in Sea Town have tripled this winter.
Unfortunately, due to the actions of your owner, your franchise should be cursed for the next few decades. Karma is such a bitch, she makes my ex wife look like a saint. It’s not the fan’s fault, I actually feel bad for all of you. Whether you know it or not, your team is genuinely hated for being stolen in many corners of the Association fandom. It’s the principle after all.
Golly Gee, I sure hope I didn't huwt anybody's feewings.... sniff...sniff....
GO G.O. ! You've got a calcium supplement endorsement waiting for you!
I’m pretty sure we just dont care anymore. You guys can stay mad and call us hijackers but we just don’t care. There’s nothing we could do and I feel no remorse for cheering for this team. I think you and BS put a little too much faith (maybe optimistic hope?) in karma because here in the material world, the Thunder look primed for success.
:0
But? But?…when i see your team play in oklahoma…..???
they’re playing in an empty arena….
call the moving trucks…… again.
The Faith don't panic, the faith freaks out burns out farms and torchs small villages in the name of The Faith.
Where are you getting that from? The place is packed for each and every home game. We had low attendance for 1 game because of a hellacious ice storm. Other than that, it’s been near capacity every night.
I’d go grab some numbers to back it up, but I’m typing this on iPhone, so it’s not easy to get that info as quickly as if I were on a pc.

That's awfully generous of you OKCers.
Why do you have to be so darn nice? Makes me enjoy calling your team the Swindlers, ex-Sonics and Firepants (I alternate among the three) just a little bit less.
I still intensely dislike your owner, team nickname and color scheme and will probably take years to get over how the Swindling of Seattle went down. But I LOVE your players (though I hope they stink up the joint on Friday). The fans apparently all that bad, either.
Thanks again.

Lets go Blazers!!!
Stomp down for stump town. I was at the Blazers home game against OKC and sat next to Jeff Greens dad. He was a nice guy and very humble after we destroyed the Thunder. Go BLAZERS!!!!!
Let's go Blazers!
Here’s my take on “The team formerly known as the Sonics”.
Owner = Piece of S@%t!
Players = Great guys with tons of upside.
Fans = Time will tell.
WTLC = Thanks for the peace offering, I guess. (more like mad marketing scheme)
Man standing on toilet is high on pot.
Stay Classy Oklahoma City...
nice work man.
"I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany."
THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!
Good move on your part. I don’t hate OKC for getting a team, but I do hate Bennett for robbing Seattle. Although I always hated Seattle (it’s the NW version of Hollywood), I still feel protective over any place in the NW. It’s a lot like when you’re annoying, life-long friend loses his smokin’ hot girl to a nice guy. You can’t hate the guy cause he’s just a guy, but you gotta be a little mad at the girl.

Has nothing to do with keeping Portland weird. Has a lot to do with misplaced anger.

Agreed...
The team, city, and fans seem fine, but the owners….not so much.
Don’t get me wrong, I can’t root for y’all, being a divisional rival and our Friday night opponent and all, but congrats on getting a team. Hope the locals embrace them and mitigate (somewhat) the disappointment the Seattle fans must be feeling.
Cheers.
Nice work Mr. P
Because of your kind thoughts, I hope the Thonics only lose by 8 instead of 20….

Awesome, good work!
Thunder/Blazers will be the division rivalry in 2-3 years, especially if you guys draft Hashim Thabeet (sp?)
Things happen for a reason they say, but I say there's a reason things happen.
Official Pronouncement
We see, and are satiated by, your offerings. They please us.
Hmmmm....
nice art work, but not sure what to think about this. I think it’s a trick!

Thanks for the wallpaper.....but I'm a little worried Clay Bennett is somehow behind this
This could be some trick to move (“steal” ) Bedgers over to the WTLC or something even more ominus.
Something just doesn’t feel right with this peace offering.
But at least their fans seem great.
Good luck……you have a great team brewing here!
All part of the master plan! Muwahhahahahaha!

Totally cool
Speaks volumes about the Thunder faithful as a fanbase. Your team’s upside scares the hell out of the Western Conference and I absolutely predict contention for a playoff spot in 2009-10. Good luck tonight!
Thank you kind sir
