[QUOTE=rodman91]I think it's one of the best. Easy to remember and say..also basketball related.[/QUOTE]
Maybe New Orleans should just change their name to "Balls" then by that take.

[QUOTE=RobertdeMeijer]A friend of mine suggested:
New Orleans Voodoo
I like it, but I wonder if voodoo is too evil/politically incorrect for some people.[/QUOTE]
That is probably the most badass suggestion I've heard (I like Looters too). It may offend some, but they should have taken the chance to stir some controversy.

[QUOTE=jl1718]Never understood why Memphis kept the Grizzlies name. Perfect name for them is the Blues. Phoenix is AKA valley of the sun. Cavaliers I assume is based on Ohio's french roots.[/QUOTE]
That's horrible. Do you know what that would do to team mentality if they are known as the "Blues."
That's like calling a team the "Gloomies" or "Losers."
Re: F*ck you, Pelicans are Awesome: A Defense of the NBA's Best New Team Name
Should of named it the "Titantic," y'know for the time the city literally sunk during Katrina.

Doesn't seem to affect the St. Louis Blues in the NHL. I'd like them to be called the Memphis Blue Notes though just to give a little distinction.

How about the "Walmart Looters" (Katrina) or the "Inbreds" (y'know to represent the Cajun south).

I say the "Flippers" to represent the only job they can get after hurricane Katrina: flipping burgers.
