    Let's see, the Raptors went with the popular Jurassic Park movies of the time.

    What's popular these days?

    The Houston:
    - Avatars
    - Transformers
    - GI Joes
    - Ups
    - Spocks
    - HANGOVERS (my vote)
    - Other MJs
    - Aliens/UFOs
    - <InsertPlayerInitial>OFs

    Houston Hurricanes

    Houston puppies

    Houston Shepards

    Houston Pit bulls

    Houston Smog

    Houston Rockies

    Houston Rotties


    I like the Houston Rockets. Its classic, it represents us, Houston is known for NASA and space Rockets so Houston Rockets makes sense.

    The Houston Swishers. It's a basketball reference AND a reference to the city's favorite wraps.

    I added one or Twilights to keep it with your theme.

    Ironically some of my fantasy teams were the Houston Hustlas and Rockstarz, bad grammar, and I know those were mentioned in the thread.

    Or Swish and the Swishtones because it's so much better than Clank and the Clanktones.

    Plus, they could do their own National Anthem before each game...

    Thinking of the last new NBA name, I actually really like the OKC Thunder. Plus, I kind of like team names that don't end in "s" - if Miami had never existed, Houston Heat would be bad ass.

    Houston Hulk
    Houston Gamblers
    Houston Voyagers
    Houston Navigators
    Houston Fury
    Houston Flame
    Houston Power
    Houston Might
    Houston Force
    Houston Reign
    Houston Galaxy

    ehhh....i got nothing...
