    just curious as to what all the nba teams are mockingly referred to by other teams. here are some i already know:

    fakers=lakers
    jazzholes=jazz
    t-pups-timberwolves
    jail blazers=trailblazers
    spurms=spurs
    queens=kings

    i think i can come up with a few of my own rather dirty nicknames for other teams (knicks, wizards, bucks), but i don't think they count. any other well-known nicknames? what about next season's newest team: charolotte bobcats?

    oh, one more thing...what do other teams call the houston rockets?

    I know a poster on this website who has been holding a grudge for close to half a decade over comment I may or may not of made on a shyte website too many years ago.

    So, because I don't want to get in a fight in 2009, I'll refrain from making an ostensibly innocuous comment.

    My boss here in Vegas is a big seattle sports fans and always calls the Rockets the Rockettes.
    To get back his basketball team is now the seattle supersuckers.
