NO Steamers could have had some good potential versus Cleveland.

Sneak peak at the concept art for their logo.

Tank, how appropriate

So Harden and Asik just got yanked and the Rockets played much better. Greg Smith looks like a decent energy big.

Agreed. Should have just shortened from Hornets to Horns when they moved.

I think it could end up cool, but they have some work to do.

New Orleans Jazz

Charlotte Hornets

Utah (Enter Name Here)

The Utah White

I had a whole play on words worked out for their name with Jeremy Lin's yahoo editor and a slang term for a ski hill but it occurred to me that the joke may not be taken in the manner to which it was intended

Incredible game going in Brooklyn.

I will say Pelicans > Raptors

Gerald Wallace has hit 5 consecutive threes (all in the 3rd quarter). What's going on?

The Thunder look weird in black.

Wow. What a lame ass foul on Wallace there against Westbrook.

That was crap.

I want a Shved on our team at SG.

Brooklyn badly misses Wilt, who is having a great season. Worth every penny.

Perk sucks. No really.

Does Washington beating Miami not even raise a mention?

The Pelicans is a terrible nickname. As someone said earlier, it sounds like a minor league team.

Voodoo or Steamers would have been awesome. They should have put it to a fan vote.

Lol apparently not, I hadn't even noticed. Prepare for Jordan Crawford to shoot them out of their next 3 games.

New Orleans Pels goes alrite

Miami needs to figure out WTF they are doing defensively. They were 4th in DRTG last year. They were 21st coming into tonight.

I know young guys are generally inconsistent, but Paul George is taking that to a whole new level.

Harden now 2-18 and going hard at Bargs record. Oh dear.
