    Hey I just wanted to share this with you guys.
    I'm not sure where the thread was for names for our bench, but I heard the Clippers' commentators say last game that 3 of our bench guys are given the name Earth, Wind, & Fire. Earth for Chuck Hayes, because he's so grounded. Wind for Aaron Brooks cause he's so quick and he just dashes through the lane like the wind. And Fire for Carl Landry who plays with a fire.

    What do you guys think about it? I like it.

    Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest

    Matt Bullard needs to put that phrase back from where he pulled it from.

    Matt Bullard is forcing this so hard lol. Apparently Von Wafer is a 'backup dancer' too.

    Water is possible but Heart is a bit of a long shot!

    Seriously who gives a rats ass about the clippers commentators? They are bonafide lame hicks.

    They have to be bench players, though.

    I think Battier is Water, and Heart would be ... Deke (if he should return).

    edit: Looks like someone beat me to the Captain Planet reference in the other thread. Oh well.

    This is Bullard's nicknames. He always coming up with goofy names and comments, always trying to crack dumb jokes. You can see Cylde thinks he's pretty annoying. These are not as bad as some of the keys to the games he's come up with, they don't even make sense half the time. Matt always had a great shot, I'll give him that, but he makes me miss Calvin.

    Wafer can be Water since they share 4 letters and look alike. Heart is stuck on the bench, unfortunately, and may not be playing again. :(

    Please don't disrespect the greatest R&B group of all time. Played instruments and sung their own original songs. Stop IT. Also if you didn't know there was an R&B group named EWF, you should be banned for life

    Heart isn't on the bench. Heart is no longer on our roster, but we've been hoping Morey re-signs him.

    wind is AB?

    I thought its a new nick name for chuck scolandry.

    hayes is earth for bricking his FTs.
    landry is fire for getting his tooth broken.
    and scola is wind, for the action of the wind blowing pass his hair.....

    And talking about heart, no one have more heart that SF3. If only....

    Brent barry should be wind, because the offensive oppenent is always blowing past him on defense
