Enough is enough, it is time to give the front court force of Morris and Collins a nickname
You certainly cannot give yourself a nickname. Sisqo the self-proclaimed "dragon" taught us that. But you cannot just give nicknames out to others without deep concern and thought either. So some people may think I am jumping the gun here. After all, I cannot even find a picture of Jason Collins and Randolph Morris together. But that is no matter. We have waited patiently for 21 games. Twenty-one agonizingly, long games, just to see both of these guys make a regulation basket from the field. And last night it happened, and it was beautiful.
So enough is enough, these two big men have clearly earned their right to enter into the Pantheon of front court greatness. Or at least into the front courts with nick names. Lets call it the "pantheon of being tall and able to touch your toes and by happenstance be on the same NBA team." What I am saying is Jason Collins and Randolph Morris need some kind of title that describes the fullness of their prowess of semi-coordinated excellence (FTPSCE). This is a blog and a community of many things. Some good, some bad, but what it will never be is a place that under appreciates fifteen minutes of two rebound, five point, one assist basketball.
The suggestion box is open until the end of the day. Vote with rec's. Vote with pride. God bless America.

In the same vein I considered JTJ: Junk-Time Juggernauts
but this would be a lie. I still prefer the Two Towers or its slightly less internet-y version the Twin Towers.

How about “Abbot and Costello?” Abbot (Collins) is fat and his playing skills are comical/a joke. Costello (Morris) is the unsmiling straight man.

Um I think I got Abbot and Costello backwards (been a while since I’ve seen that show). Costello is the fat one; Abbot is the scowler.

But to continue in a football vein
Putting them intogether is akin to “Excessive Celebration.”

They're like our answer to Chad Ochocinco.
He celebrates by putting on a sombrero, we celebrate by sending in the Victory Cigars.
Woodson needs to hold up a sign that says “Please don’t fire me!”

VOTE VOTE VOTE
This pisses me off: http://www.nba.com/2009/news/12/10/allstar.vote.update.1/index.html
The public is so delusional and dimwitted—I hate that the masses are allowed to vote. Shaq is #2 center??? Ok, people liked his reality show. Tracy McGrady is #2 guard!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Ok, chalk that one up to the Chinese folks. But that A.I. (not Iggy) even has 1 vote is asinine. He couldn’t get minutes on the Grizzlies!!!
We need to vote everyday for those that deserve it, i.e. J-Smoove, Big Al, and, in my op, Antawn Jamison. Okay, soapbox diatribe over.

I was torn between Victory Cigar and Excessive Celebration. I went with Excessive Celebration. It’s not the leading vote getter, but I mean….. wow. I literally laughed out loud. Y’all are insane.

I like “The Happy Meal” as it’s funny, demeaning, and brings up happy child-hood memories.

This is what Hawks Fans have been waiting for...
A chance to ridicule their own. As much as I loved the “Wizards of Warming the Pine”, I had to go with Excessive Celebration. This is not college, where you trot out your scout team… Playing Collins and Morris at the same time should be equivalent to a flagrant foul, or possibly a bench technical.

Voring is really tight
This poll will come down to the wire. Might be necessary to have a run off poll, even.

this is better than the mayor race!
run off might be in our best interest. got to take this seriously.

I agree on the run off idea...
just too many solid choices clumped at the top.
