    Splash Bros is taken. We need something marketable headed into the playoffs. How 'bout C-Dame-J? It hasn't fully grown on me, but sound it out...

    I like McDillard but that too much of an inside joke.

    I'm not a big fan of having nicknames that don't evolve naturally. Last year, Aldridge floated the idea of "Rain Brothers" for Lillard and Wes on Dan Patrick's show. Patrick suggested shortening it to "Rain Bros", which made it a play on rainbow and the arc of a 3 pt shot. It wasn't a bad concept, but it didn't go anywhere. Unless a nickname evolves naturally, it seems too much like you're just wanting a nickname for Dame and CJ because Curry and Thompson have one, and that always looks like you're not quite as good as the original. Give them time to mature together and see if something comes out of that that just fits the two of them perfectly.

    Oh no you didn't!

    Actually, I came up with the idea first and then the GSW rationale after the fact. But otherwise, I agree.

    Rain Bros is kinda cool, but also just reminds people of one reason why no one wants to play for Portland.

    The Brew Bros, since by now I'm sure Lillard has CJ drinking like a fish too.
