Around SBN: Beyond The Boxscore's Week 17 MLB Power Rankings

Wabeno Takes L.A.! Kings 102, Clippers 89

Wabeno Udrih, you dog you. Waltzing into Los Angeles like you're a Macedonian, conquering the Clippers like you're ... every other NBA team except the Nets. What a ham!

(Beno tallied a career-high 17 assists against Baron Davis, defender extraordinaire. He added 20 points for good measure. Good measure, and no other reason.)

The Kings just clicked from tip to bell. The offense ended up looking "good enough" in the box score -- too many turnovers (15), especially considering the team had just one in the first quarter. But the defense! Spencer Hawes really did rule this game, all apologies to Wabeno, because Hawes dominated on defense. Three blocks and 10 rebounds, good times, but he did much more, altering shots, forcing jumpers, denying inside position. Chris Kaman only took 10 FGAs in 32 minutes, made four, had just one offensive rebound and three turnovers. DeAndre Jordan caused a bit more trouble for Hawes, as you'd expect, but Hawes just dominated Kaman, even if the box score doesn't explicitly say so.

Star-divide

Francisco Garcia was downright cagey as the starting two-guard. And I haven't even mentioned Carl Landry's 24!, on an array of post moves, quick finishes after Beno dishes, and those silky outside jumpers. Landry shredded every Clipper in his path, just dominated that end of the floor.

This is why you don't tank when you're in the Kings' position. If I were a Clippers fan, I'd be kicking fence posts and swearing about Davis up and down this town. The brief excitement from a dominant win is worth the potential loss of ping pong balls.

I am still conflicted

wonderful game, well executed game plan and the lack of anything more than a “let’s roll the balls out and see who can score” offense by the Clippers helped.

But at this point in this losing season the Kings need talent and a path to talent is the draft and a better chance for a higher pick is logical.

Fun game, good times, way to go Beno. And he didn’t even need his Yeti.

While I understand it hurts the draft picks I would rather have the team maintain a culture of wanting to get better. With so many young players on the team it can only benefit the players to not learn how to give up.

with Beno getting a career high number of assists, Spencer getting a double double, Garcia doing well with Beno, and Landry getting 24 points. These players are all going back home feeling really good about themselves and their teammates tonight. I was so happy to see Beno get the post-game interview.

Curious

I’ve read in a couple of places that the Clips are in a better position than we are going into free agency. According to Shamsports, the Kings have 9 guys signed at roughly $33 million, with another 3 guys at the team’s option totaling about $3 million. The Clippers have only 4 guys signed at roughly $33 million, with another 4 guys at the team’s option totaling about $5 million.

Given Sterling’s penchant for being frugal thrifty effing cheap, it would seem unlikely that he will exceed the cap by a significant amount to land talent.

I understand that the Clips will get a lottery pick plus Griffin next year, and I like Eric Gordon a lot. But the front office of this franchise seems hell bent on keeping the Clips an NBA laughingstock.

No doubt

Griffin and Gordon are fantastic, but considering ownership, management stability and, um, Evans and the supporting cast, the Kings have much better position than pundits surmise.

The only thing keeping the Clips in the conversation is L.A., just as is the case with the Knicks in N.Y.

Correct

But you forget Kaman, and the Gordon-Griffin-Kaman-triumvirate would surpass any trio the Kings could put together, per the pundits. Add the likelihood that there pick will be higher than the Kings, and the all-enticing-L.A.Shwag, it’s hard to not see why they’d be critically acclaimed as mid-summer movers. Let’s face it, the Clippers could very well entice a Rudy Gay or a Carlos Boozer over, it’s completely possible.

is it just me, or do the Clips have one of the most American lineups out there? They don’t have a single international player on their roster? Is any other team even remotely like that?

Seriously – I can’t think of any other team that’s all american. This blows my mind for some reason, I have no idea why.

That said, if any team is most-extraterrestial, it’d have to be the Cavaliers. LeBron is no man, and Shaq is bigger than the moon. Delonte West has a broken vocoder, and few aliens could come up with a worse disguise than Anderson Varajao. One of those would be Zydrunas, who may or may not be named after his homeplanet.

if only yaroslav korelev can reach his true potential

a truly tskitashviliesque pick there

call me crazy but I don’t think free agents are lining up to play with space cadet kaman and the erstwhile b-dizzle (unless they haven’t seen him play lately in an absolute display of quitting and being benched for steve blake and/or they really really want to meet kate hudson…)

I don’t think one of the big boys is coming here but not to lac either… I think lebron, wade, bosh stay and joe johnson goes to ny in a desperation overpay

slightly off-topic … I was looking back to compare the historic futility of the two franchises (i am simpatico with the clip fans – used to live in la in the mid-90’s and there were worse ways to spend an evening than going to the sports arena – not in a nice car fo sho – paying $12 and then they would let you go sit in the 10-15 row or so so it wouldn’t look bad on tv)…. at least we had the “glory years” game 6, fuck you dick bavetta etc notwithstanding…. in the last 30 years the clips had a couple good years with loy vaught….

For ages now, you watch the highlights on NBA.com and there are constant shots of opponents scoring easily, while 5 guys in Kings uniforms look at each other, shrug and shout at one another. After Beno’s bullet pass to Landry for the easy dunk, Chris Kaman did exactly that.

How long before the WaBeno alter ego is used?

After a year of being arguably our most consistent player – at worst our second most consistent player – does WaBeno finally give way to simply Beno?

And do we still look to move him because he’s “overpaid?” Or is it possible that Beno is a late-bloomer (like a Steve Nash? And, no, not even coming close to comparing the talent level although Beno does have a sweet jump shot.)

by Kusian on Mar 22, 2010 10:28 AM PDT reply actions  

Beno was practically giddy with excitement in the post-game interview with Peaches.

I would like to think that the reinforcement from his getting 17 assists will give him the incentive to remain WaBeno. He topped the daily leader board in the Sac Bee today.
