A semi-revealing blog post from rookie center DeAndre Jordan over at the Clippers' site. Among the revelations:

Cuttino Mobley is a carbophobe.
The "rookie wall" is real.
Al Thornton is "a great defender" [!]
The Clippers kick off their workouts with yoga.
11-week-old huskies tend to be indiscriminate about where they do their business.

Kevin, on a more serious note, can you please post one of your insightful blogs on the Kaman topic as this guy is the second-highest paid player on the team and has yet to put three good minutes together on the basketball court after reporting in shape (isn't that one reason he went to the Olympics?) and after 6 years in the league? Maybe you can address whether he has ADD (I don't intend to be cynical here) and other issues that can explain why, at 7', he can't consistently make a layup, slam the ball down through the hoop, or grab rebounds at this point in the pre-season while turning the ball over almost on demand.

Inquiring minds want to know...

Davis Injuried?

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Baron Davis will visit a specialist Monday to examine his injured left ring finger. One possible recommendation could be surgery that would sideline Davis for four to six weeks, an NBA source said.

Davis injured the finger in practice Friday. The initial diagnosis was a sprained ligament; X-rays revealed there was not a broken bone. However, there is a possibility that there could be a ruptured tendon in the finger, which would require surgical repair. If surgery is not necessary, it still could take up to three weeks for Davis to recuperate and return to action.

"It doesn't feel good," Davis said, according to the Los Angeles Times. "It's not comfortable, not a comfortable feeling. ... The good thing is that it is the preseason, so you can deal with all your bumps and bruises early."

The Clippers open the regular season on Oct. 29 against the Lakers. A three-week absence would keep Davis out of action for the first six games.

The Clippers play 14 games in the month of November.

Call me crazy but I think we will be alright without Davis for a little while. it would be nice if we could see Camby in action. anyone know why he hasn't played yet? something tells me were going to see a lot more Mike Taylor than we thought. once again everyone has to pick up there game to overcome injury's.

Are we cursed???????
