Game 3, Grizz v Thunder at home in the FedEx Forum
This is the best article for you to read if you are at all interested in thy this game is so meaningful or why the Grizzlies are so much fun to cheer on.
Instead, Durant’s greatness creates more of a sour taste. Memphis has never had a player like Durant, perhaps never will. And yet Durant is all Thunder fans have ever known. Grizzlies fans, and the players they love most, often feel like they’ve come up the hard way. Thunder fans, they think, have had it too easy.
The fan cultures also seem so different in these small, middle-American markets.
Oklahoma City’s crowd acts more orderly. Everyone dutifully puts on their themed T-shirts, bearing sincere, agency-sublimating slogans.
Memphis’ crowd seems more unruly. The Grizzlies used to try T-shirts come playoff time -- the “white-outs” and “blue-outs” and what have you -- but had to spend too much time before games shaming reluctant fans into putting them on. The lockstep look didn’t fit, especially with unofficial Tony Allen T-shirts erupting into a local cottage industry. People preferred the towels. They lend themselves to more boisterous, physical expression.

click play.
and keep watching. it's insanity.
You may have heard about the massive hailstorm that swept through Oklahoma City on Sunday afternoon, leaving softball-sized pellets in its wake. Well, now you can see the tempest—and it's nothing short of jaw-dropping. (via)

holy S.
some crazy b in oklahoma wants to outlaw no-fault divorce among legally married curples. if passed, bill 2279 would prevent divorces based on incompatibility under the following circumstances:
couples with a living minor child
couples that have been together for more than 10 years
instances where one party objects to the seperation
sorry abused moms of 6 year olds, you're going to have to tough it out.

get a life, oklahoma.
oklahoma just passed a new law requiring that physicians who perform abortions must report detailed information about the patient and procedure, which will be posted on a public website.
"Proponents of the legislation claim that women should not be concerned over their privacy since no names or "personal information" will be reported. This defense is questionable. Feminists For Choice argues, "In reviewing the actual text of the law, the first 8 questions that will be asked and reported could easily be used to identify any member of a smaller community." (via)
