Azubuike to the Clippers: “Team Swap 2008″ continues.
It might tell you something about my competitive nature that I was motivated to enter a “Cookie Bake-off” at my work. I don’t even bake. I mean, I once baked some “magic” brownies in 7th grade, but that was a different kind of “bake-off.” No, tonight I’m trying to get all Martha Stewart on this ish.
I’ve decided to rely on pure creativity over any real baking skills. In fact, “Best Cookie Name” is a category in the competition, so I think I got a real shot at placing in at least that event. I first thought of creating a cookie called the “Boom Drizzle,” named after Baron Davis. It would be some kind of sugar cookie with a chocolate drizzled beard. Then I was thinking about baking the “Kelenna Azucookie” in honor of Azubuike. But then I heard the news that Kelenna just signed an offer sheet with the Clips and I kind of got sick to my stomach. Kelenna! Kelenna! (I just got all exclamative only because I wanted to use Gd’s fresh pic of Kelenna smashing on Kobe again. I’m not really that upset. Boom needs some Warriors to keep him company down there.) But seriously, why not just exchange our entire rosters for Chrissakes! I think there’s a reality show in there somewhere - “Team Swap.” Watch the hijinks unfold as Don Nelson calls for CJ Watson to come off the bench in the 4th quarter, and surprise…it’s Cuttino Mobley! Hilarious.
Oh well, I guess I’m stuck baking some Belinellis tonight. I think those are a type of cookie, right? I swear I heard that in the Sopranos - Carmela telling Tony that she made Baked Ziti for dinner and Belinellis for dessert. Or maybe I was just imagining that.

You might have to go to the archive of Warrior greats for a suitable name. Some Purvis Shortbread perhaps? Some Mad Russian Tea Cakes? C’mon, this is too easy!
