    I say let TMac and Yao play together for a while then we will come up with much better nick names. Something that fits them well and it's catchy.

    btw - DeAleck, remember my first post in the last poll, my cautionary note about not getting your hopes up? :) All this is what I had in mind . . .

    :) Well, thank you for that. I am cool with it, I just hope to provide the fun to people who would like to enjoy it. It's kinda annoying that some poeple just jump in and start trashing everything --- me, the choices, the thread, the world... everything. But it's all good. I hope this is fun.:)

    My username is the one. Don't forget it. (I actually think I picked it for Maloney & Mobley or something.)

    Man alot of these still suck bad....but I really like Double Clutch.

    These names are all more likley to be used than the last bunch....those where laughable.

    I still doubt the winner will be used...but who knows.

    One other one mentioned that actually made more sense than 'Trip Aces' was 'Pocket Rockets'. I'm not sure who came up with that one. Another variation that I like as well is 'Aces Full'.

    Even so, it's really hard to find a nickname for a duo, and I'm not sure that we've hit it just yet.

    How 'bout we call him 'the curse in which the Rockets must endure because they were stupid enough to trade Steve Francis and Cat Mobley for this idiot and forever bare shame, much like the shame the LA Clippers face every year'? Too long?
