JASON. EVAN, HOLY COW. I MEAN, THE SUBWOOFERS ARE BOOMING HERE AT SCISSORTAIL PARK. IT IS NUTS. LET’S THINK OF SOME WORDS HERE. RESILIENCE, HOPE. ABSOLUTE RELIEF. THEY’RE CHANTING OKC RIGHT NEXT TO ME ON THE ROAD. THUNDER FANS ARE IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL. I TALKED TO HIM EARLIER. HERE’S WHAT THEY SAID. THEY’VE BEEN REALLY HURTING US IN THE FOURTH QUARTER. SO WE NEED TO START STEPPING OUR ENERGY UP IN THE FOURTH QUARTER AND REALLY KIND OF MATCHING THEIR PACE. CASEY IS A MANAGER AT SOCIAL CAPITAL, ONE OF THE OFFICIAL THUNDER WATCH ZONES FOR THE FINALS. I THINK HE SPEAKS FOR A LOT OF THUNDER FANS WHEN HE EXPLAINS HIS EMOTIONS. THIS SERIES STRESS. IT’S BEEN SO STRESSFUL. THE PACERS, LIKE I SAID, THEY’RE REAL COMPETITIVE TEAM. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE THINKING, WE’RE GOING TO WALK ALL OVER THEM, BUT THEY’RE REALLY PUTTING OUT GOOD ENERGY. HE’S BEEN IN OKC SINCE BEFORE THE TEAM CAME HERE IN 2008, AND HE FIRMLY BELIEVES THIS FINALS RUN IS ALREADY A SUCCESS. IT’S REALLY COOL TO SEE EVERYBODY COMING OUT AND SUPPORTING THE TEAMS AND, YOU KNOW, SUPPORTING THE LOCAL BUSINESSES, AND IT’S BEEN A REAL GOOD THING FOR EVERYBODY. MEANWHILE, OVER AT LOUD CITY LIVE AT THE PAYCOM CENTER, SOME FANS SAID THEY WOULDN’T WANT TO BE ANYWHERE ELSE, STILL SUPPORT THE TEAM AND DO ALL THE THINGS I DO AT HOME. I’LL SIT THERE AND YELL OFFENSE AT HOME WHEN THEY’RE ON DEFENSE, SO AT LEAST YOU GOT A CROWD TO DO THAT WITH YOU. BUT AMY ISN’T A FAIR WEATHER FAN. I THINK IF SHE COULD COACH THE TEAM, SHE WOULD COACH NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO SOME PLAYER CHANGES AND REACT TO CARLISLE AND WHAT HE’S DOING. BUT OVERALL, THE LOUD CITY LIVE EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN WELL RECEIVED BY FANS. I THINK THEY SHOULD DO IT FOR ANY, NOT EVEN JUST DURING PLAYOFFS. I THINK IT’S A GREAT ATMOSPHERE. NOW, OF COURSE, THE THUNDER WILL BE BACK HERE IN OKLAHOMA CITY FOR GAME FIVE RIGHT THERE AT THE COM BABY MONDAY NIGHT. WE’LL SEND THINGS BACK TO YOU GU
