Not bad, not bad.

we need hollins and Quis back for the flex!

Quis would be a great addition to the Gangster Squad. Get Dooling on the bench as an assistant too.

Quis def looks the gangster part.

im gonna say eddie house can come off a bench named that.

This kinda stuff is corny. It also feels like a rip-off of another team's bench calling themselves the "Bench Mob" this season. Great, now we're the Hydrox of the NBA. You guys couldn't get a little more original?

Also, the fact that they just plucked the name from pop culture, seemingly because it's a popular movie out right now, will make it stale and outdated as soon as the movie leaves theaters in a couple months.

they can call themselves whatever they want as long as they keep playing like they have been

Not cool, bro. I'm telling Grant Hill.

With the way they've been playing and the points they've been scoring off the bench, they can call themselves anything they want right now.
