The NBA apparently wasn't too pleased that KOCO-TV leaked word the Oklahoma City team formerly known as the Sonics was going to be named Thunder, blogs Yahoo! Sports. So they've registered five other team names just to keep everyone guessing. The six names trademarked so far: Barons, Bison, Energy, Marshall, Thunder and Wind. "Also known as: Meh, Blah, Ha, Spell Check Please, Hmph and Ugh" writes the Yahoo! blogger. My thoughts exactly. And I thought Thunder was pretty lame. What do you think?
I think it should be the Oklahoma City Liar Thieves or maybe the Oklahoma City Perjurors. Wait..wait, they should call themselves the OKC Blight Upon Humanities. Honestly, I'm not nearly as grief-stricken as I thought I'd be. The NBA version of basketball and the way the league is run is not something I am a fan of. The finals were fun only because we were nostalgic for the 80's with Bird vs. Magic; back when the NBA rocked. Now, March Madness is where true basketball fans get their fix. Although the cancerous reach of the NBA has infected it as well. They should adopt the NFL rule of players having to complete their junior years before being eligible for the NBA.
Does anyone else find it ironic, given that we (Seattle) have the WNBA team named the Storm, that after taking OUR Sonics to OKC, the name Clay and his cronies chose was THUNDER? Um, hmmm... the Seattle Thunder (and) Storm... seriously folks, get some originality already.
i don't give a shit about all the behind the doors business, those are things that can be speculated on a million times over, we will find out what really happened five years from now, anyhoot if i see howard i'm going to gut him like salmon, and cut the rich bacon off his back......and eat?

howard better stay outta the streets and stick to hiding in big buildings with lots of security....my hatred flourishes daily!
Well now that the NOT SO SUPER SONICS have a new name they will be an over night success! LOL
Liza,
Is their really such a dearth of noteworthy things to comment on that we have, not one but TWO items from you on the no-longer-Seattle's basketball team?
That is to say, WHO CARES!?!?!?! They are no longer this city's team, so no longer newsworthy here. Give it a rest already.
