Yes.

But Jazz, Lakers, and Celtics are good.

Thunder and Heat suck pretty bad.

my point exactly.

New Orleans Battle is way better than both of those names.


Or I'd be for the New Orleans Pirates after ol' Jean Lafitte.

How many times do I have to say this? In pro sports, having physical mascots that make sense isn't a big deal.
Exhibit A: The Saints

They were good names for their original teams, which is why I called them good.

Obviously, they should be changed for their new teams. But we are talking about a team getting a new name, not a team moving away.

Battle is a much more abstract word, in my opinion. shite gets really confusing if you use it as a verb. It also isn't really unique at all.

Geez, that isn't what I said. And I already said heat sucks. Lakers is unique to it's origin as is a good name.

And yes, I am well aware that it can be used as a noun as well as a verb. Hence why I said, "if you use it as a verb".

It is unique to Minnesota, I don't see what you are trying to prove by making me state I never hear anyone use the word.

That logic doesn't really matter to me since I want a name like "Rougarou" and no one uses that word. It is irrelevant to my point that I don't like battle because it is too abstract to me.

I think you are just ignoring all of my posts so you can insult me. Using other NBA nicknames that suck isn't really proving any point here.
