The Oklahoma City Thunder had a terrible record at 23-59 in 08'-09' - that didn't stop the fans from attending the games because the team finished 11th in attendance.
The novelty might start to wear off if the team isn't going to perform better this season. A team in a new town always had success typically so the Thunder might get a pass on the bad play.
The Thunder are coming from the great basketball town of Seattle. The Seattle fan base wasn't thrilled with the move to Oklahoma City and hope one day Seattle can receive a team again - with many teams struggling it might be a long wait in Seattle. Fans may cheer for the Thunder until they receive their own team again.
The Thunder has one of the most exciting players in the league in Kevin Durant, Durant has scoring champ written all over him and perhaps one day MVP.
The Thunder won't likely finish with a winning record in 09-10, but they'll definitely rely on Kevin Durant as a source of winning games. He'll be the team's leading scorer, and might even be the top scorer in all of basketball.
Kevin Durant will lead the charge in Oklahoma City and should lead the team in multiple categories. Don't be surprised to see some 50+ point games out of him too. Additionally, much of the offense should run through him.
However, he's not the only source of talent in Oklahoma City. Jeff Green and Russell Westbrook are two fine players and could easily contribute to a young core full of talented players.
Thunder fans should enjoy Kevin Durant and his scoring ability. Even if the team has another bad season record wise - Durant should give ESPN many top ten plays. - 30416
