    Read the Ron Artest thread -- it's Clutch who doesn't like RA.

    So far, A-Man and his merry A-Men sounds like the winner so far. :D Kudos to Old Man Rock!

    Come to think of it, if we draft Ante Tomic, he will fit right in as A-Tomic -- or Acie Law as A-Law.

    I don't want our coach to remind me of Rafer Alston at anyway.

    Well, had it not been for Big Shot Bob, he would've squashed the Black Mamba. That's gotta count for SOMETHING.

    I'm old, and I haven't read Rudyard Kipling (I think he was the author) since I was a child. Anyway, Ricki Tiki Tavi brought back a flood of memories. Thanks.

    With the exception of JVG, I hate when people just use initials. They'll be talking about the roster and you get VS, YM, JL3, TM, JH, RA, CH, LH, SN, DM, JT, SB, KS, and then they can't let go of the past and throw in an occassional SF3, and CM and WW. It takes me forever thinking of what scrub I've completely forgotten about they might be referring to. So even if the initials weren't identical, it'd still be annoying as hell.

    My vote: Adelman.

    Going along with the babaloo theme, we could also try "Little Ricky"

    Is it bad that the letters in Rick Adelman can be rearranged to spell:

    A Clanked Rim?

    In a post-game tirade, he may say, "I don't give..."

    A Darn--Lick Me."

    However, he might turn the Toyota Center into:

    A Mac-Led Rink

    The Magic Johnson rule might be named instead after:

    A Dermal Nick

    His favorite topping at McDonald's may be the:

    Caramel Kind

    When mediating between squabbling teammates, he could be said to have:

    Calmed an Irk

    If he decides to go by his full Richard Leonard Adelman, we'll just have to admit that he's:

    A maniacal nerd herd lord
