Sounds of Thunder: the NBA road, unlike the NCAA, leaves no room for excuses

In the NBA, unlike college sports, everything gets distilled to the essence of whether or not one team is better than the other. Are the Thunder?

I have been an Oklahoma Sooners fan my entire life. When Arthur M. Alden improvised the notes and lyrics from Yale University's Boola Boola in 1905 and added a modified stanza from North Carolina's I'm a Tarheel Born a year later to form OU's fight song Boomer Sooner, he was thinking of me:

I'm a Sooner born and Sooner bred
and when I die, I'll be Sooner dead
Rah Oklahoma, Rah Oklahoma
Rah Oklahoma, OK U!
