The KOCO report was based on a domain name registry, but apparently Thunder is not a sure thing. The other possibilities are Barons, Bison, Energy, Marshalls and Wind.

Why am I not surprised that they can't come up with a good name?

I just hope they don't choose the Wind, the worst of the six listed.

It would make for some amusing sports headlines. "Celtics Break Wind" and the like.

These names are beyond stupid.  Wind?  Thunder?  Are they going to serve beans at the games and use the resulting stench as a type of home court advantage?
