Sometimes, a home team needs to know that their city is behind them for the biggest game of their season so far.
The Oklahoma City Thunder will take on the San Antonio Spurs in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals on Saturday night, with the winner advancing to meet the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals.
A deli in the Midtown district of Oklahoma City has opted to change its menu for Saturday and has made it very clear that it is backing its hometown team.
While the menu is usually riddled with standard sandwich combinations you would find in a deli, the sandwich shop’s in-person menu has been completely overhauled with brand-new names.

The store is known for its signature sandwich, “The Goose,” an Italian sandwich with capicola, mortadella, salami, pepperoni, asiago, lemon-tossed arugula, Duke’s mayo, olive oil and red wine vinaigrette, served on ciabatta bread.
This item has been renamed “Victor Wembanyama Sucks” for Saturday.
There is also a “Victor Wembanyama Really Sucks,” a “Julian Champagnie Sucks,” “Stephon Castle Sucks,” and let’s not forget the “BTW Victor Wembanyama Still Sucks.”
The sandwiches are also not only “insert player X + sucks.” There is a “No Nun-Sense,” a shot at the viral Salesian Sisters, who supported the Spurs in Games 4 and 6 in San Antonio.
There is a “French Guy Terrible,” a “Thunder in 7,” and a “The Chet Cheese” included on the re-worked menu.
The Goose has also said that any Thunder player who stops in would be able to eat for free.
While fans outside of OKC may want to take a look at the new menu items, the updates are only visible in person and have not been reflected in The Goose’s online ordering system.
The Thunder and Spurs tip off at 8 p.m. ET on NBA and Peacock. The Goose is certainly doing its part to rally the hometown fans, and if the game goes OKC’s way, it will likely start scheming up puns for when the Knicks come to town if the Thunder can advance.
