    when I think of Thunder, I think of WCW Thunder and the Wichita Thunder....hell, if they are called the Thunder then that will be more pathetic and ghey than the BOBCATS.

    New Jersey is the NETS....perhaps OKC could be known as the Cylinders.

    Re: Looking at all the uproar "Thunder" is causing...

    To quote bitter Seattle media:

    "Oklahoma City becomes the 14th professional basketball team to adopt a mascot with a singular nickname --10 of those teams reside in the WNBA (congratulations)."

    The others that I am aware of...
    Atlanta Dream
    Chicago Sky
    Connecticut Sun
    Detroit Shock
    Indiana Fever
    New York Liberty
    Minnesota Lynx
    Phoenix Mercury
    Seattle Storm


    Yes, you only counted nine teams. That means that Seattle's idiot likely counted one of the many folded WNBA teams:
    Charlotte Sting
    Miami Sol
    Orlando Miracle
    Portland Fire


    Or perhaps, Seattle dude only looked at the first word in San Antonio's name and thought they were the San Antonio Silver (rather than the Silver Stars).

    Let us find the others...

    Miami Heat (NBA)
    Orlando Magic (NBA)
    Utah Jazz (NBA)
    Tampa Bay Lightning (NHL)
    Minnesota Wild (NHL)
    Houston Dynamo (MLS)
    Los Angeles Galaxy (MLS)
    D.C. United (MLS)
    Chicago Fire (MLS)
    Columbus Crew (MLS)
    New England Revolution (MLS)
    Toronto FC (MLS)
    FC Dallas (MLS)
    Real Salt Lake (MLS)


    My guess is this Seattle media dude didn't count the MLS (shame on you! You're about to get a team!) and accidentally counted one NBA or NHL team as a WNBA team and thus, 14 teams... but if he did count MLS (and again, Seattle is getting a team, we remind you!), he could also include this ex-MLS now-folded teams:
    Miami Fusion F.C.
    Tampa Bay Mutiny


    So, as you can see, it is clearly quite common to have a singular nickname, and it's just a nickname. If you hate it, just remember that we could have something uber lame like the Oklahoma City O's... OKC Cheerio's? O-K-C-heerio's?

    Uh, thunder is the plural of thunder.

    You're funny.

    "Singular" in this context means that there's no "S" at the end... or in the case of defunct Utah WNBA team, no ZZZZZZZZ at the end (Starzzzzzzzz)

    Ok, so I added a few Z's.

    But, I like your logic. Thunder really isn't singular or plural, it's both. Thank goodness we are not going to be seeing the name Thunders. That would cue really lame jokes like "Thunders are Blunders" and crap like that.

    So, without further ado, the revised Singular/Plural basketball-only nickname list, which we remind you, will NOT include Thunder/s:

    Atlanta Dream (WNBA)
    Chicago Sky (WNBA)
    Connecticut Sun (WNBA)
    Detroit Shock (WNBA)
    Indiana Fever (WNBA)
    New York Liberty (WNBA)
    Minnesota Lynx (WNBA)
    Phoenix Mercury (WNBA)
    Seattle Storm (WNBA)

    Wow, that was easy... unless you like your Heats, Jazzes and Magics... Magicks? I included the above teams, because they have plural forum - Dreams, Skies, Suns (if we're being astronomers here, there are more suns out there than just the closest one), shocks ("I stuck my tongue on the power line twice and got two shocks"), Fevers ("My little brat is likely faking to skip school since he's had 20 fevers this semester"), Liberties, Mercuries (I had to look this one up - so here's my sentence: "I love my mercuries, from the Greek god I read about, to the car I drive, to that metallic substance I swallowed labeled "Quicksilver..." oh no, I've been poisoned.") and of course, Storms, as in, "Oklahoma has a lot of storms, but will not have the Seattle Storm, because we don't like better fundamentals that make up for the inability to dunk."

    At least it is grammatically correct, unlike the Toronto Maple Leafs
    If I am right, then religious fundamentalists will not go to Heaven, because there is no Heaven. If THEY are right, then they will not go to Heaven, because they are hypocrites.
