ThunderOKLAHOMA CITY - Despite heavy rains in the metro area, pro basketball fans are pouring into downtown Oklahoma City to get in place for tonight's Game Five of the NBA Western Conference Semifinals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Memphis Grizzlies.  The Thunder squared the series at two games apiece with a dramatic 3-overtime win Monday night in Memphis.  That kept the Thunder's hopes alive and gave them the home court advantage in the rest of the series.  OETA's Susan Miller hit the rainy streets today to talk to Oklahomans who are Thunder-struck and find out what it takes to become the ultimate Thunder fan.  Tonight's game tips off at just after 8:30 at the Oklahoma City Arena.  The winner of the Thunder-Grizzlies series will face the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals.Â
