The Thunder Games (Part 1)

All I really want to write about today is the Oklahoma City Thunder and The Hunger Games.

I can't think of a way to weave those two topics into a list. But luckily, this is my blog and I make the rules. For my next three (or four...) posts, I'm going to BREAK the rules. (gasp!) NO LIST. I hope you can enjoy these posts anyway. Also, I apologize if you haven't read the books. You must live under a rock.

If the OKC Thunder were thrust into the Hunger Games arena and had to fight to the death, what would be the outcome?
I'm getting better at photoshop, right? Not great... but moving in the right direction.
First, lets think about who we've got:

Kevin Durant -- Long, lanky, a fan favorite... does that make him a target early? Probably.
Russell Westbrook -- Freak athlete. Scary fast. In the real Hunger Games would be a 'Career'.
Serge Ibaka -- Will not be easy to kill. At all.
Kendrick Perkins -- Like Serge, The "Yung Hawg" will be difficult to take down.
Nick Collison, Derek Fisher, Nazr Mohammed -- Poised. Experienced. Old.
Lazar Hayward -- Won't get sweat in his eyes. Could be an advantage...
Daequan Cook -- Sharpshooter.
Thabo Sefolosha -- The Swiss are a peaceful people. He could be the "Rue" of our Thunder Games.
Cole Aldrich -- Will die first. 
James Harden -- The beard will be feared. 
Royal Ivey, Reggie Jackson -- Dark horses... "we'll see if they develop."
Scott Brooks -- Um............am I the first one to realize this?

That's it. Fifteen tributes. Let me know who you think will win! (I haven't decided, yet)

  1. Perk is definitely the boy from district 11that just stared and glowered at everyone, but he was smart and played the game well, until the game makers took him out with dog/Bear looking things, maybe marc gasol?

  2. Lazar dies first running into the middle and gets a judo kick from Cole in the chest and his heart stops. Cole dies shortly after. I see Eric Maynor winning the whole thing, ironically enough taking out Russ at the end. He's patient enough to pick his spot. I actually thought a lot about this at work last night. Thanks for helping me pass the time.
