Phoenix Suns on the Gold Coast

While I'm a huge fan of 'Blaze' nickname (pun intended) I was pretty crapped off when the Club's first choice of 'Heat', couldn't be used because Miami NBA threatened legal action or something similar.

I never realised that a similar thing happened to Townsville causing them to adopt Crocs. I think this is a much better nickname anyway.

As for the GC Suns, it was not my original choice. But the local consensus however, is that it's better than not having any nickname at all which is originally what they we going to do.

I'm just wondering if the eventual crowd chant next season will be the same as Townsville's "Suns-Up, clap-clap-clap, Suns-Up"

While only yesterday I read that bizarre news story on the misuse of the Crocs name - could it become -
Will the real SUNS please stand up.
The Phoenix Suns would like to make an announcement that we are not participating in the 2011 Australian Football League.

what clown in the nbl came up with the draw. i just had a look. our first four games in just nine days.

ot going to get much practice time in between. at least we finish at home against the taipans.we always seem to finish against the taipans be it here or over there.

i still cant believe it 4 games in nine days. we travel from singapore to the gong then to adelaide then to perth.

how about new years 6-00pm what a nothing start time. no mention of why the change. maybe it was time to rest it rather than play with the time.

what does everyone think???????

Perhaps being in another sport , then - maybe no issues.

( A district basketball club , here in ADL , had problems with Miami.)
