The Tacoma Thunder were an International Basketball League team based in Tacoma, Washington. The Tacoma Jets were named the Tacoma Thunder for their first two campaigns, but were renamed in the off-season after an ownership change to the Jets. The Tacoma Thunder rejoined the National Athletic Basketball League in 2010 for the NABL's first season.

History

2005

Former logo

The Thunder had an impressive inaugural campaign, leading the west with a 12-6 record. However, due to the IBL's inaugural season playoff setup, the team was denied a spot in the championship game. They were led by IBL All-Stars Dontay Harris, Jimmy Haywood and Lamar Morinia. PG Chris Hyppa led the IBL with 10.6 assists per game.

2006

Being a returning team was no help to the Thunder as their record was worse in 2006, 11-11. Three expansion teams placed higher than the Thunder did. The team was led by two high-scoring all-stars, Kenny Tate(25.1 ppg), and Lamar Morinia(23.6 ppg).

2007

It was announced by the IBL that the Thunder had changed hands and would now be known as the Jets, promising a new focus for the team. Inexplicably, the franchise was removed from the IBL website, having been replaced by the Tacoma Jazz. The Jazz of Tacoma is off to an 0-2 start but have yet to play a game with their full squad. Marlon Bailey and PG Chris Hyppa are currently rehabilitating injuries and should be back soon. IBL All-Star Lamar Morinia will join the team once his season in Germany concludes.

The Jazz of Tacoma struggled through coaching changes and an instability of players in 2007. The team finished 5-17 and chose not to participate in the Western Conference Playoffs. Once again, Dontay Harris was the anchor as he averaged 20.1ppg. Guards Michael Claxton and Lorenzo Rollins were also consistent performers as they both averaged over 18ppg.

2010

The Tacoma Thunder returned to the town for basketball in the 2010 in a new league with a new head coach Doug Hockenbury and new venue. In May 2010, player of the month Jason Stomvall averaged 34ppg and 14rpg and received All-League third team honors along with teammate Nate Jackson.

gollark: - All this useless random junk can autoupdate (this is probably a backdoor)!- EZCopy allows you to easily install potatOS on another device, just by sticking it in the disk drive of any potatOS device!- fs.load and fs.dump - probably helpful somehow.- Blocks bad programs (like the "Webicity" browser).- Fully-featured process manager.- Can run in "hidden mode" where it's at least not obvious at a glance that potatOS is installed.- Convenient, simple uninstall with the "uninstall" command.- Turns on any networked potatOS computers!- Edits connected signs to use as ad displays.- A recycle bin.- An exorcise command, which is like delete but better.- Support for a wide variety of Lorem Ipsum.

gollark: Best viewed in Internet Explorer 6.00000000000004 running on a Difference Engine emulated under MacOS 7 on a Pentium 3. Features:- Fortunes/Dwarf Fortress output/Chuck Norris jokes on boot (wait, IS this a feature?)- (other) viruses (how do you get them in the first place? running random files like this?) cannot do anything particularly awful to your computer - uninterceptable (except by crashing the keyboard shortcut daemon, I guess) keyboard shortcuts allow easy wiping of the non-potatOS data so you can get back to whatever nonsense you do fast- Skynet (rednet-ish stuff over websocket to my server) and Lolcrypt (encoding data as lols and punctuation) built in for easy access!- Convenient OS-y APIs - add keyboard shortcuts, spawn background processes & do "multithreading"-ish stuff.- Great features for other idio- OS designers, like passwords and fake loading (est potatOS.stupidity.loading [time], est potatOS.stupidity.password [password]).- Digits of Tau available via a convenient command ("tau")- Potatoplex and Loading built in ("potatoplex"/"loading") (potatoplex has many undocumented options)!- Stack traces (yes, I did steal them from MBS)- Backdoors- er, remote debugging access (it's secured, via ECC signing on disks and websocket-only access requiring a key for the other one)

gollark: <@111608748027445248> ALL OF THEM.

gollark: See, thing is, most foolish people who install it cannot write those ten lines or even just [SEARCH ENGINE AS VERB] it.

gollark: Maybe with some sort of extension of ARC we could also get a sort of better, opt in version of OC holograms.
