What should we call this group? 

Post#1 » by Optimus_Steel » Wed Dec 25, 2024 1:44 pm

I’ve seen many mentions to that awesome Heart & Hustle team this season but this is a different era and different style. I’ve seen Heart & Muscle. But I prefer Heart & Grind because we just grind teams down over the game and by the end of the night they are over it and get frustrated. I’ve seen outsiders call this team maniacs on defense, Boston announcers called them the most physical team in the league. Thoughts for this group?

They are like the Heart & Hustle team without Paolo and Franz. When Paolo and Franz finally come back, we can finally see what the H & H team would've looked like with a healthy TMac and Grant Hill.

Heart and Grind is a great combination of the heart and hustle Magic and the grit and grind Grizzles.

Heart and Grind ftw!

Once our offense gets into the top 10 in a few seasons we'll need a rebrand.

Can we refer to the Kia Center now as “The Grind House”?

I want to see Jalen Suggs partner up with a donut company to creat the Suggs Donut. Then we can give them to the opposing team and be like,” oh you have to go against Jalen Suggs defense tonight huh? Suggs Donut!” :lol:

Lol like sucks don’t it, but it’s Suggs Donut

I would love for the arena sound people to implement a steam whistle when we go on those defensive clampdowns runs. To audibly symbolize the grinding pressure we are forcing on teams.

It was taken by Davion Mitchell in college, but he's sort of faded from national view...we could steal his awesome tag

"Off Night"

...as in, everyone, coincidentally :wink: , seems to have an off night against our defense.

also, sadly, kind of addresses our 3pt shooting :roll:

Someone was calling a player sick the other night because they were so good. It made me think of The Cure.

Look, you can't force these things, nor should we want to. Something will eventually pop up organically. Or not, and then that's okay too. The Dwight-Jameer-Rashard-Hedo teams (I guess we can bundle the VC editions into those) didn't really have a nickname, did they?

I mean, I could sit in a circle with my friends (all other forest animals, of course) and think of some nicknames for myself, but it would never be nearly as good as something that just kind of randomly came along, either because of some impromptu thought, or something funny that happened.

Just my $0.02, not saying that having some drinks and brainstorming can't be fun. I might even chime in for the heck of it.
