    Thought it would be cool to have non Blazer stuff here

    1- Al Jefferson comes into camp 31 pounds lighter http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_a.../big_al_loses_31_pounds_on_subway_sandwiches/
    2-Eddy Curry already hurt
    3-James Harden injures eye during first practice
    4-Nobody knows where that head case Delonte West is
    5-Blake Griffin misses first practice, hurts knee out a week
    6-Joe Johnson won't sign with the ATL 4 years/$60
    7-Spurs won't sign Manu to extension yet
    8-Look at all the free time The HCP has!

    Wow on Jefferson. That guy is going to be straight beasting this year ... he might even be passable on defense with a lighter frame.

    ps. I think he'll make a much better Subway spokesman than that doofus Jared.

    Ask Antonio Harvey, I heard he was a guru when it comes to former Celtics, his cup over-floweth with knowledge in that subject!

    That's right! Tone and I got into it about whether or not Joe Johnson played for the Celtics! He swore PHX drafted him. He should have known better then to go up against me when it comes to hoop knowledge!

    Al Jefferson lost 31 pounds eating Subway sandwiches. Hilarious! Eddy Curry should look into that diet plan.

    How about the Ellis/Curry feud in GS. Ellis didn't even wait for the first practice before declaring there was no way he could/would play with the rook.

    I would say, more generally, the crash and burn of the Warriors. A local columnist, very pro-Warriors (and Lakers) in the past said that their season ended Monday, predicting a return to the days of Todd Fuller/Latrell Sprewell. You have Ellis saing he can't play with Curry, Jackson repeating his trade demand and saying the team's brief resurgance was all due to him (not Baron Davis or Jason Richardson).

    Warriors

    Training Camp Notes

    Zach Randolph reported to camp with the Memphis Grizzlies having dropped 18 pounds since the end of last season. A good sign for both Z-Bo and his new team.

    My dogg is gonna light the league up this year!
