Lee.

I'm hoping that Kerwin Bell will be the starting point guard. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMU Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 At least OKC won't have the worst nickname in the league. That honor has to go to the Magic, with the Heat a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrousoxide66 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 At least OKC won't have the worst nickname in the league. That honor has to go to the Magic, with the Heat a close second.Completely disagree. The Heat is a far superior nickname to "Thunder" in that it's pretty unique across the sports landscape. There's only one Heat and it's in Miami (great nickname that ties into the location). The only issue is the lack of plurality, which may have been an issue in 1988 when it was adopted. Frankly, that's a dead horse now. I have no opinion on the Magic name either wayLook up any half-assed sports league and you'll probably find a franchise that used the "Thunder" moniker. Additionally, it's the name of a very horrid Golden State Warriors mascot (that should be put out to pasture ASAP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnice Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Maybe they'll have the name underneath the numbers on the back like their counterparts the Storm. Thunderstorm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShinyHubCaps Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 On Monday, the NBA officially trademarked the following nicknames (to be preceded by "Oklahoma City"):Barons, Bison, Marshalls, Energy, Thunder, WindSuddenly Thunder doesn't sound like the worst thing in the world...

TFoA Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I'd take Barons or Marshalls out of the two.I will go to the league office and take out Stern myself if he allows whoever's in charge of naming the team to be named the Energy, Thunder, or Wind.

Dilbert Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I would love to see the BaronsMarshalls just sounds too minor league as well as Bison and Thunder.Energy wouldnt work. OKC d league affiliate is the Tulsa 66ers, it would be weird since Iowa Energy is not affiliated with them.
