…in nickname rankings . That’s your Raptors headline story for the day.
I was going to do a big spiel about how crazy Raptors fans are and how we should all try to get along despite our differences and opinions.

Via The Arsenalist and Cuzoogle, and apropos of, I guess, the Sonics transforming into Thunder clouds, Oklahoman columnist Berry Tramel decided to sit down and rank all 30 NBA nicknames. His top five monikers: Knickerbockers, Celtics, 76ers, Pistons and Hawks ("simple and regal," BBAAAKKAAAAA!) His bottom five names: Nets, Magic, Pacers ("the reference to another sport is strange"), Clippers and Jazz. Do you agree? What do you think the best and worst nicknames are in the NBA? Anyone else a big fan of the Warriors?
