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.

but was it fairly obvious to everyone else that the Clippers have quit???? wow, they just sucked….

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.

I’m too used to 7 oclock start times thought this post was just a prediction till I saw the box score! Oh well… the Kings are 1-0 when I’m too dumb to look to see when the game is, so that stat is encouraging.

We got Petrie!

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.

….as it seems like he’s just an absolute DEADLY Clipper killer.

Just sayin’!

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.

For once, it’s not us shrugging and bitching.

(Though I missed this one due to family in town)

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.)
