Heat is pretty damn bad.

Non plurals are the worst.

Lakers, Knickerbockers, Trail Blazers (although that one is pretty damn cool).

Don’t worry too much about the Nets. I assume they switch soon enough. Tennessee stayed as the Oilers for a few years batting around ideas in the marketing department. Hova is gonna jazz up their name/logo/unis in a few years. They will let the suckers buy new Brooklyn Nets jerseys for a few years. Same suckers will buy the new threads after the change.

The mother nature conference..
Hurricanes, Avalanche, Heat, Thunder, Suns

As for the Red/White Sox… those are still plurals. I think if I saw Nomar out on the town I would think that is a former Red Sock. I might think Red Sox player… but I think the singular is still available to use there. Not so with the Heat, et al.

I just don’t like the abstract names. I understand why you would do it in college (Green Wave) because there are like 50 tigers and wildcats out there, but there are plenty of nicknames out there for the pros with no overlap. The Magic… Pffff. I remember thinking that was just an homage to Earvin because he was such a baller.

It begins and ends with The Nets. Dumbest, laziest name ever given to a sports franchise.

More effort went into naming Poochie than the Heat

A variation of the shocker where only one finger goes in the vagina, but three go in the anus. The hand shape resembles that of a pelican with a large mouth.

This is phenomenal.

Your hand really does look like a pelican like that.

50/50 on the profits, Soused? I have US distribution channels that would blowed your mind off.

Done and done. Please pay me in bitcoins as they make me feel like a badass.

Don’t know if they’ve since changed it, but they have an awesome jersey

The Jazz, The Heat, The Magic, and The Thunder.

Well if baseball can get away with White or Red Sox then Jazz is fine. I blame Disney for allowing the non-plural trend to continue. It started with Magic I think

The NBA has the weirdest names out of the big 4 (nfl, mlb, nba, & nhl).

The Jazz, The Heat, The Magic, and The Thunder.

counterpoint: Minnesota Wild

And considering that The Heat was actually one of their other choices (along with The Juice), could have been a lot dumber.

Wizards?

Bobcats? (Name is after Owner)
Jazz? (Utah is known for Jazz)
