Juice trumps Thunder

My brief efforts to nickname fantastic-looking rookie Al Thornton "Thunder," in an homage to former Cleveland Indians slugger Andre "Thunder" Thornton have been trumped. Instead, Thornton is being called "Juice"

Apparently, wily Sam Cassell has gotten his teammates to call the rookie Juice. He's smooth and has looked refreshing to Clipper fans, so, heck, perhaps Sam's nickname works better. Sorry, Tribe fans, no Thunder Thornton II.
