Referring to Miami as the "cHeat" isn't cool

[ronaldo943]

Name calling may be childish and juvenile but it's a part of sports and everyone does it!  This is a message board, why care about name calling when it's not offensive or against any of the rules. I'm not trying to be cool, I say the same stuff when I'm alone watching the game and much worse. Saying people are being juvenile and childish is classy, I guess...

• There is no need for name-calling or harassment of any poster. This includes behavior in all areas of Celticsblog, including forum posts, blog comments and personal messages. While we encourage lively debate there is no reason for anyone to disrespect a fellow poster's ideas.
• Do not label fellow posters in a way that is likely to provoke a negative response.

I think he meant as in namecalling a team not a person on the blog, i may be wrong though

My bad... again

Besides being potentially juvenile, I'd love to hear a reasonable argument about why referring to the Heat as cHeat or Lakers as Fakers isn't "cool."

Are we hurting the organizations' feelings?  How about the players' or the fans' feelings?

In my opinion, Wade is one of the dirtiest players in NBA history (lest we forget Rondo's elbow or the Collison shove), and I consider being dirty a form of cheating, and he and LeBron are two of the biggest floppers in the NBA, and I consider flopping a form of cheating.  So, the name cHeat accurately refers to them, in my opinion.

And, for the Lakers... come on.  Is there anything genuine about Los Angeles or the Lakers' Hollywood fan base?  Nothing could be more fake, not even Jack Nicholson's peraly dentures.  Fake defines Los Angeles.  So, the name Fakers is apt.

You know what isn't cool, calling a Los Angeles basketball team the Lakers.  There hasn't been a lake in the Los Angeles area since the Paleozoic area.  When they left Minneapolis for LA they should have changed their name to the Glitz or the Glamor or the Showtime.

Because it isn't clever, looks pretty dumb, and offends me

Then go enjoy yourself on the Heat or Lakers blog. Unless that was a joke

CHeat! CHeat! CHeat!

Want to do something about being offended, I 'll be your Huckleberry....

Is this seriously a thread right now... Oh myyy god theyre using funny nicknames for rival teams of the celtics, on a CELTICS BLOG. the nerve of some people...
I swear no matter what any1 does, even as minute as this, there will always be someone to complain.. And for those who think its "juvenile" or "immature" you sound like some stuck up old snobs.. "Merrr, your vocabulary and demeanor are absolutely elementary at best. Please wait while i slurp my chai tea and scroll through your juvenile remarks."
Its honestly ridiculous that this is a thread right now.. Like some old ladies on here finding anything to nag about.. You dont like people making fun of the cHeat, i suggest u stay away from every sports blog besides miami's

Yeah, I stand by "juvenile".  People can call the Heat whatever (non-rule-breaking) nickname they want, and I think almost everyone has agreed with that point.  However, I just have a hard time believing that anybody with more than a third-grade education can find monikers like "Fakers" and "cHeat" to be funny.  Celtics fans can come up with better.

But still have yet to explain how those nicknames do not work.. Ive seen quite a few great explanations as to why cHeat or Fakers are great nicknames but no argument for the other side. Merely saying that a word to describe a rival team is "juvenile" is such a cop-out.. Where are the facts/details to explain your reasoning? And when or where did someone use "cHeat" or "Fakers" to try and be funny? Were they doing stand up comedy and it wasnt going too swell and they pulled out the ole "so how about those Miami cHeat"? Im just wondering here. Im trying to gather all information before i come to an ironclad conclusion

All that stuff is lame (same with the LA v Minn title thing) but to each their own I guess.

Why do we all have to be "cool"?  I'm content with the way I am already.

Not really sure why I vehemently disagree with you so often Roy. Your tolerance for idiocy is extremely low and that I can relate with
