			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Fluffers</strong></em> is my official recommendation as the new team/brand name replacement for the Minnesota Timberwolves.  I&#8217;d settle for Fluffies.  About the best you can hope for them is to keep other <a href="http://popcornmachine.net/cgi-bin/boxscore.cgi?date=20100319&amp;game=MINLAL" target="_blank">teams warmed up for serious play</a>.</p>
<p>They can always change it once they become something more as the result of luck and more lotto picks.   Maybe a name that goes with the blue they seem committed to like an obsessive compulsive retard, like the <a href="http://archives.secretsofthecity.com/magazine/blogs/ball/2009/01/interview-with-wolves-gm-jim-stack#comment-208422" target="_blank">Icefish</a>.  But that would be truth in advertising, so the NBA would have to drop all its Sprite and McDonalds marketing.</p>
<p>At least <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fluffer" target="_blank"><em><strong>Fluffers</strong></em></a> has the advantage of bringing new, fun, enthusiastic fans into the building that don&#8217;t care what&#8217;s happening on the court.  No big contracts to worry about, just get the <a href="http://dumbball.wordpress.com/2010/03/21/nba-slamdunk-fail/" target="_blank">youngest, fluffiest players available</a>.  They could have special nights for furries (they already have a fitting mascot) and various other sexual parties.  Forget family nights altogether and just go for the stadium-sized orgy market.</p>
<p>Some other forgotten names I&#8217;ve used for them in the past:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://archives.secretsofthecity.com/magazine/blogs/ball/2009/01/the-three-pointer-some-fresh-air#comment-207231" target="_blank">Ice Doggies</a> (<a href="http://archives.secretsofthecity.com/magazine/blogs/ball/2009/01/the-three-pointer-some-fresh-air#comment-207256" target="_blank">and again</a>)</li>
<li>Ice Pups</li>
<li>Snow Pups</li>
<li>Snow Hounds (a nicer version of above)</li>
<li>Timbabitches (as in, we continue to have gender malfunctions with our drafts and trades)</li>
<li>Blizzard.  This is a great name I never actually called them but wanted them to be called back when the franchise began and I took sports seriously.  I think it&#8217;s since been grabbed by some other team with far better marketing skills than the people running the <a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fluffer" target="_blank">Fluffer</a>s or NBA.</li>
<li>Icicles</li>
<li>Icedrops</li>
<li>Snowfall</li>
</ul>
