One of the best days of the year came Wednesday when the New Orleans Pelicans made it to the NBA playoffs as the eighth and final seed. Of course this meant that team from Oklahoma missed the playoffs. Here’s what Twitter had to say.
Quality graphic there. Awful color scheme though.

Another quality graphic, more awful colors.

This is a valid point.
First they give us Jimmy Graham and now they kick OKC out of the NBA playoffs. I LOVE NEW ORLEANS! #pelicans#sonicsgate — Steve Sloboda (@stevesloboda) April 16, 2015
Look Pelicans, you’ve saved the folks at Sonicsgate time and money. Good for you! Also, #Thunderdown is my new favorite hashtag, right up there with #NOKC and #Shamelessselfpromotion
#SonicsCurse still in full effect! No need for any @Sonicsgate appearances this year. Thanks Pelicans! https://t.co/YK7xNQjubn#ThunderDown

Seattle was so pumped that the team from Oklahoma missed the playoffs that they threw an actual party, and Shawn Kemp was there!
