All this salt and envy toward my beloved FThunder is affirmation we're doing something right.

U all mad.

Take that D Leaguer off of your avi, please. Serge needs some love ASAP.

I hear that now that they've acquired Kevin Martin they're now also going to try and get Javale McGee.

Pelicans. Best name since the Bobcats. Am I right or am I right.

 

[Branduil]

Oakland has a basketball team?

That reminds me, it's weird how they just call themselves "Golden State." I get it when you're the only team in the state, but there are three other pro teams in California. But I guess no one except the Raiders is eager to claim the name "Oakland."

Athletics.

Also, for an odd choice of a nick name, you have to like how the Houston NFL team claims the entire population of Texas.

Bobcats is dumb too. Should be the Charlotte Jorts

Bobcats is only bad because Robert Johnson named the team after himself.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

A ten point quarter for Josh Howard on efficient shooting is about as unlucky as an opponent can be be, sorry 76ers.

 

[Branduil]

Athletics.

Yeah but they're trying to move out.

 

[Nori Chan]

The Charlotte Jordans

ynot

Well after this year when the Kings move to Seattle, the Clippers are contracted for flopping, and the Lakers are demoted to the D-League Golden State will be the only one left.

 

[Blackace]

If the Jazz ever changed names, they'd definitely go with one of these:

- Blizzard
- Bears
- Bees
- Battlestar Galactica

Utah Canaanites would be awesome!

wait what

I thought Bobcats were indigenous to the Appalachians or something

I kind of like the name lol

Bobcats is stupid

 

[Randolph Freelander]

It's like the weakest level in Cub Scouts. It's like Bobcat, then Wolf, then Bear, then Webelo. What the frap is a Webelo.

 

[Blackace]

Robert = Bob

Bob Johnson

Bob's Cats

Bobcats

true story

 

[Bowser]

Yep, they're "indigenous" to the Appalachians.

Everyone still believe ol' Bob Johnson got a kick out of having his team be called the Bobcats.

We be loyal scouts... seriously.

then they should be the Charlotte Jeffcats now. Or the Charlotte Binions once Mike loses the naming rights in a poker game.

Charlotte Bad Beats

Yeah, I googled it. I quit scouts like 3 times, never learned what Webelo was.

Texans is a quasi-reference to the Texas Revolution and those who fought at the Battle of San Jacinto near Houston.

Charlotte IwouldlikeeveryonewhodoubtedmetokissmyassCats is catchy

[MegaKungFuRadio]

PELICANS! Cats should pounce and take Hornets back.

 

[Blackace]

Charlotte Moonshiners

Back in the day when you could name your team Bullets, or Hustlers that could go

 

[The Frankman]

for the people who wanted the Jazz, what about the New Orleans Brass?

Complete with evil jester?

 

[Randolph Freelander]

When they start losing, as is the New Orleans tradition, they immediately become the Pelican'ts. This name is perfect.

 

[Dominican Power]

New Orleans Bebop

 

[Rodeo Clown]

I'll defend Bullets forever. It's awesome. So much better than Wizards.

 

[Piecake]

Man, the wolves are putting the wood to the 76ers

 

[Knux-Future]

we are getting destroyed....by Josh Howard.

yep

 

[Blackace]

I'll defend Bullets forever. It's awesome. So much better than Wizards.

Me too

They could have at least gone back to the Capitals

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I think it was on SNL Weekend Update (Norm MacDonald) who made the joke that the Washington Bullets were going to change their name to something less offensive, so for now on they'll be known as the Bullets.

Is RGIII the new Kobe in terms of women?

Is with a white woman, don't know if hes been dating her for somewhile.

 

[DY_nasty]

Our new jerseys are at least better than OKC's

The racing stripes were aite too

 

[Puddles]

Holy shit, Wizards!

The world is cheering for you tonight!

He's been dating her since college I think. I heard some nasty rumors about her.

 

[Blackace]

Is he allegedly raping her?

If not... no he isn't

 

[Mothman91]

It's due to gun violence in D.C., and don't think they'll ever go back to it.

 

[ratcliffja]

If not... no he isn't

You took the words out of my mouth... now my mouth is dry.

 

[Fox318]

Holy shit, Wizards!

The world is cheering for you tonight!

The hell

 

[Vahagn]

So what's going on with the NOLA/Charlotte teams changing names? Haven't kept up with the story

 

[The Frankman]

now for the suggestions that *gasp* didn't make the Top 5:

New Orleans Revelers, BEST MASCOT EVER


New Orleans Rhythm

New Orleans Knights

 

[Blackace]

No! NO!

 

[KingGondo]

Thabo with 10 in the first 6 minutes.
