Oklahoma City Thunder

Numerous sources are reporting that the team formerly known as the Seattle Supersonics are about to become, wait for it ... The Oklahoma City Thunder!

Seriously, what a lame name. It sounds like some CBA squad or minor league hockey team. A loud but completely harmless noise created by Mother Nature. Oohh! Not to mention its another singular team nickname. I can just hear the PA announcer, barely audible over the predictable AC/DC Thunderstruck playing during the player intros:

"Now starting at power forward, number 33, Jackie Moon!"

Of course, if you look at the current roster, the Thundah aren't that far off from being a CBA squad. They just extended a 4 year, $15 million offer sheet to CJ Miles of the Utah Jazz (another lame singular team nickname with no relevance to Utah whatsoever), who never could get off the bench on a team that until last season had no consistent output from the 2 guard spot and has averaged 4.0 points and 1.3 boards. All you 16,000 OKC fans who signed up for season tickets, get ready for amateur basketball at its best.
