It's not as mismatched as some of the others, but I've never been a fan of the 'Trailblazers'.

Oops. I thought the poll was on "worst team".

Yeah, this is a crappy name. I just couldn't think of anything funny to write about them.
Only thing that came to mind was "Happy Trails," if you know what i mean.

Toronto Raptors - named after a Blondie song?

The Blondie song is Rapture. F--

Hey, I thought that was pretty funny.

Heh heh, yes.

Blondie - Rapture Lyrics

Toe to toe

Dancing very slow

Barely breathing

Almost comatose

Wall to wall

People hypnotised

And they're stepping lightly

Hang each night in Rapture



Back to back

Sacrailiac

Spineless movement

And a wild attack



Face to face

Sadly solitude

And it's finger popping

Twenty-four hour shopping in Rapture



Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's high

DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind

Flash is fast, Flash is cool

Francois sez fas, Flashe' no do

And you don't stop, sure shot

Go out to the parking lot

And you get in your car and you drive real far

And you drive all night and then you see a light

And it comes right down and lands on the ground

And out comes a man from Mars

And you try to run but he's got a gun

And he shoots you dead and he eats your head

And then you're in the man from Mars

You go out at night, eatin' cars

You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too

Mercurys and Subarus

And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars

Then, when there's no more cars

You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet

Face to face, dance cheek to cheek

One to one, man to man

Dance toe to toe

Don't move to slow, 'cause the man from Mars

Is through with cars, he's eatin' bars

Yeah, wall to wall, door to door, hall to hall

He's gonna eat 'em all

Rapture, be pure

Take a tour, through the sewer

Don't strain your brain, paint a train

You'll be singin' in the rain

I said don't stop, do punk rock



Well now you see what you wanna be

Just have your party on TV

'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars when the TV's on

And now he's gone back up to space

Where he won't have a hassle with the human race

And you hip-hop, and you don't stop

Just blast off, sure shot

'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars

And now he only eats guitars, get up!

Hmmm, after going through the lyrics, Toronto clearly has the best team name.

Oh, come on, it's obvious:

Clippers

First thing that comes to mind: senior citizens with sissors and a stack of newspapers. Second: finger nail clippers or toe nail clippers? Third: dirty NFL players. Sailing is for retired NBA stars, or Latrell Spreeewell.

Looks like they all suck!


Bucks: fear the deer?

Mets: The "Metropolitans!" Thats freaking so gay!

So is Spurs in a villiage people kinda way.

Magic, its a disney thing! Sun? Phoenix is the anchient bird greek thing for the Sun.
Sounds better than the Phoenix "RA"!

What should we name each team in the modern age?

Nets should be Rims. Rim Job is better any way.
KNicks should be "Gothoms" which can be shortened to "Goths" and start a whole new uniform trend! Black unis with blood! LIKNicksfan can do the zombie thing.....

Wiz are pretty lame. maybe a harry potter theme to spice it up. Boring..

Speaking of wizardly things. We have the "Heat", HOckey has the "Wild", why not a "lord of the rings kinda theme". The Pittsburg "Precious"! Golum can be the mascot of course.

Yes, Utah should give the Jazz name back to NEw Orleans, The lakers are too entrenched in LA to change. Memphis should be called the "express". Federal express pays a lot of money and the corp sponsership thing is BS anyway. Nike can buy the Trailblazers (Lewis and clark ere cool in my booK) but if they want to rename the team "THE SWOOSH" or the "Jordans" (same for Charlotte) then let them.

If the nets got ot brooklyn they can be called " THe MuthaPhucha's". Or "MoFOs for short. Knicks and Mets are shorter derivitives also.
