Jordan Clarkson Nickname

Why flame? Having lived for some months in Philippines, you must consider something food-related (I didn't like it, but don't ever say that to a Filipino - they love their food-) . Or instead of JC express, something related to their famous 'jeepneys' (oh man, Manila's traffic is something else...)
Yes we do love food. Following your line of thinking, i can't, however, come up with anything food related. But again, NO please on Filipino whatever.

I watched every summer league game. I don't think he had any dunks. He looked great and my hope's were up.

When the regular season started, he looked slow and bad against pros. Rookie nerves.

I don't recall dunks either but I do recall him jumping so high that his head was even with the rim. I was there for his coming out game in the lower bowl just to the side behind the basket when he made that quintessential dunk against the Lakers flying in from the corner and everyone just looking on in amazement, including the Lakers.

I might add I was pretty drunk too when I made that comment and was ruffling some feathers. Either way, Mitchell sure showed me up.
 
To be fair, Donovan Mitchell played like *** his first 5 games when I said he didn't look athletic against pros.

I'm so upset he proved me wrong. How dare he.


Hehepeepeecaca.
13-52 for 25%. And then the infamous 3-21 game a couple of weeks after that. So glad Quin, the career killer, didn't destroy him. Why, if Snyder had just treated him the same as he did with Burke, Burks, Lyles and Exum, he'd be damaged goods, offloaded for scraps. Or, those other players would now be stars too.

Perspectives are interesting. At the time I thought playing him and relying so much on him right off the bat could shake his confidence.

It would have been nice to see Dante get half the green light that Mitchell had his rookie year. Summer League with those two that year was fun to watch and had me salivating.
 
My favorite thing is when we force dumbass nicknames on guys... they are never cheesy and basic.

My favorite (sacrasm intended) from Bolerjack was when he tried to force Captain Crunch on Palacio. Well, other than him using "Money Shot" for Memo until someone apparently told him what that phrase meant.
 
Bagyo.

Reasoning:
Tulsa -> Golden Hurricanes (wtf).

Golden hurricanes in tagalog = “gintong bagyo”

Since we likely want to avoid the “golden” part of the equation to avoid associations with the fact that Filipino kids/women are trafficked at a high rate, the word for hurricane is the better candidate. And it sounds like a good nickname for someone who rains 3’s.

Bagyo.
