PrintJust stopping in for a quickie... hope everyone is having a lovely Labor Day weekend!
Two totally random questions today. One to get your creative juices flowing. and one more analytical basketball-type question. Hopefully more than 4 people will stop by to answer these... slackers.
28. If the Mavericks couldn't be named the Mavericks (but still stayed in Dallas) what would you name them?
29. How many great players do you need, at minimum, to win a championship? At what positions should those great players play?

alternate name for Mavs
“Apaches” or “Tycoons”
The former because of the heavy tribal presence in historical Texas, the latter because of the oil-drilling presence in the state.
I win.
28. Dallas Rattlesnakes. Or short Rattlers. Diamondbacks is taken.
29. Two. It doesn’t really matter, though preferably one big in the front court and one scorer who is also an able distributor in the back court so they don’t stand in each others way.

28. Dribblers, Drivers, Dunkers, Texas Skies, Texas Shooters, Gunners(probably not politically correct), Travelers(haha),
29. Preferably five or six, at all positions.
But I’d say a minimum of two standout players. One in the back court and one in the front court. But the rest of the team still needs to be very good, above average.
28. The Dallas Walkers, since Walker, Texas Ranger was filmed in Dallas.
29. Don’t need stars to win championships. The ‘04 Pistons didn’t have one legit star except maybe Billups. The team needs to play defense and do all the little things, and make clutch shots.
HEADING STRAIGHT FOR THEM, I PRESS DOWN MAH GUNS!
2004 Pistons
They had Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace. And as you mentioned, Chauncey Billups. And I don’t know if you would call them great, but at the time Tayshaun Prince was a defensive standout and Rip Hamilton wasn’t too bad himself.
28. The Dallas Rebels: huge Star Wars fan.(Confederacy too, but who wants a confederate flag at games?)
29. 3 stars, one at PG, SF, and C. Still, other players have to be average at least.

Nah, but let me guess
a bunch of southerners saluting the Conf. flag?

1.The Dallas Dirks.
2. 5. All Dirks.
No, really
1. The Dallas Colts or Dallas Drillers
2. At least 1 great player (a scorer, SG or SF) and two very good ones (C and PG)

The Dallas Fancy Pants, Dallas Cocaine and Booze, Dallas I won’t wear a playoff shirt over my ed hardy shirt, Dallas Narcissists. I like the Mavericks.
Dallas Narcissists has potential

if you're going that route, i'd vote for narcissism.
rolls off the tongue like the heat or magic.
dallas narcissism!
the exclamation point is required.
28. Dallas Drivers (both basketball reference, and winking at our nationally infamous motorists)
29. The better the best player on your team is, the less need there is for more “great” players. My instinct says 3, but the Lakers won the last two with just two great players and a very solid supporting cast. You just need a group of guys who can always get you what you need and minimize the holes.
If you're so sure of what it ain't, how about telling us what it am!
I was unaware Dallas had a driving rep...
having lived near DC, in NY and in Miami, I feel like I’ve experienced the worst of the worst.
In NY driving is more like parking
And then moving your car and re-parking every few minutes
also not sure if you noticed the irony
of calling the notorious jumpshooting team the Drivers… if ONLY.
