PrintRich Levine makes the case at CSN that the other two Celtics starters need a nickname:
With their emergence this season, they deserve far more than the title of the "other two starters." All good heroes need a sidekick and Perk and Rondo have proved themselves more than worthy. They’ve become the Robin to the Big Three’s Batman. They’re the Bake to their Shake or, if you prefer, the Magic Men to their El Diablo. They deserve a nickname that expresses this.
Ideally, I think the name should be collective, one that describes them as one unified entity. For instance, Slash and Scowl is pretty good, but it doesn’t flow with the Big Three. I don’t want the starting line up to be "The Big Three and Slash and Scowl." It should be stronger, and quicker to the point (plus, Scowl kind of sounds like Scal). It should be "The Big Three and… Boom!" Think about some classic WWF tag team like the Hart Foundation, Strike Force, Demolition or the Natural Disasters. That’s what we’re looking for.
Rich suggests "Superbad."
See if you can come up with better suggestions than the readers at Ball Don't Lie.

most of these names are too long
the article is asking for one name for the both of them, not two names
then again, this is kind of a pointless exercise anyway, so have fun with it

The Dynamic Duo
I’m surprised nobody has suggested this one – I thought it was an obvious one.
What the hell.....!!!!
I tried to get people to call me ‘Big Papi’ but apparently I hadn’t earned it…..
I’m with Nick, this is an absurdity. Can’t we talk about Mutumbo or Starbury or even the crying Glen Davis or Scal chants, or where false trade rumours come from, or whether KG is too mean to underwhelming opponents or if Perk will ever learn to smile or, or , or …….

SAND AND GRASS
If you want to beat the Celtics, you should go pound SAND and you have to get a step on the GRASS (who covers all).
Beanie Babies
or
Burner and Hooch (Perk kinda looks like Hooch)
How about

The Big Three and Their PR
I wasn’t the one who came up with this (it was over at Ball Don’t Lie), but I think it’s perfect.
(I do agree though with those that have said that it will be more meaningful if they EARN the nicknames for more than just being “the other two people on the Celtics”)
IMO good nicknames for perk and rondo
Rajon “spyder” Rondo and Kendrick “enforcer” Perkins both are pretty self explanatory.
Champs
i skim read the rest of the post, don’t think any1’s mentioned it….why not just called the whole starting 5 the champs?
Double Double
cause they can both average one. (perk rebs and pts, Rondo pts ast.)
