NBA Seattle: Twitter Reaction to the Oklahoma City Basketball Team Missing the Playoffs
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!

Damion Lee Considering Gonzaga
Elite transfer Damion Lee is considering transferring to Gonzaga after wrapping up his career at Drexel. The 6’6” guard recently announced that the Zags were one of his finalists, the others being Arizona, Louisville, Marquette and Maryland.
I have narrowed my list down to these schools in alphabetical order: Arizona Gonzaga Louisville Marquette Maryland.

Lee would present a major coup for Mark Few, who might lose Kyle Wiltjer and Przemek Karnowski to the NBA Draft. The high-scoring win averaged 21.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists at Drexel last season. He put up 13 points a contest as a sophomore after scoring 17.1 per game as a freshman. Lee would be eligible to play immediately, similar to Byron Wesley last season.
Along with Lee, top transfers Nigel Williams-Goss (formerly of UW) and Marcus Foster (Kansas State) are considering the Zags. GU has become a desirable landing spot for transfers thanks to a highly successful program and excellent track record. Players like Wiltjer and Dan Dickau came to Spokane as bench players (at their previous schools) and transformed into All-Americans. Other transfers like Wesley and Micah Downs have become solid starters and integral parts of respective Gonzaga teams. Here’s hoping Lee joins that list.
Top Transfer Marcus Foster Considering Gonzaga
It’s probably safe to say he’d be forgiven for doing this if he suits up for the Zags.
Foster is also considering Creighton, Cincinnati and LSU.
Fellow sought-after transfer Nigel Williams-Goss is also considering Gonzaga.

Nigel Williams-Goss Transfer: Guard Considering Gonzaga
University of Washington guard Nigel Williams-Goss is leaving UW. The Oregon native and former McDonald’s All-American will transfer and is reportedly considering Gonzaga. According to Chris Haynes, the guard is also considering UNLV, Texas, Georgetown, Michigan State and Arkansas. He averaged 15.6 points, 5.9 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game at UW last season.
Nigel Williams-Goss, transferring from UW, informs me he’s narrowed choices to UNLV, Texas, Georgetown, Michigan State, Arkansas, Gonzaga.

The Zags already have their future point guard in Josh Perkins, but a backcourt of Williams-Goss and Perkins would be pretty dynamic, not to mention fun to watch. Just for kicks and whistles, here’s some highlights of Perkins’ passing.
Stanford and Cal apparently reached out to the guard, but as Haynes notes, programs can make it tough to transfer within conferences.
Cal and Stanford reached out to Nigel Williams-Goss, but programs have a way of making it difficult to transfer in conference.

One thing is for certain, if Williams-Goss heads to Gonzaga, it would certainly spice up a rivalry that has grown dormant in the past few years.
