Don't know for certain what our NBA team's nickname will be, but I had a suggestion for our mascot. As if Seattle wasn't mad enough, I say we box up "Squatch” and ship him and his costume to Oklahoma City with the rest of the team gear. Squatch is short for Sasquatch, and he's one of the league's premier mascots. He's Gorilla good, Coyote good, Super Hugo good. And he's all ours. But do we ... [link]

C'mon David and Clay, lets get the real deal already! A question to the readers: Any word on how we will be represented in the NBA Live 09 this year?

The NBA today filed for rights to six nicknames for the Oklahoma City franchise. The names are Barons, Energy, Bisons, Marshalls, Thunder and Wind. Wind?!
