The signing of Ime Udoka , like the signing of Desmond Mason before it, portends little for the Sacramento Kings . Udoka, like Mason, is an aging defensive roleplayer whose a bit of a drain on offense at a position where the Kings have plenty of talent. Udoka turned 32 years old last August, having only three seasons of real NBA experience. He served as Portland's starting small forward in the halycon...

The pick-and-roll defense was solid, the help defense came appropriately at least half the time, and for the most part Hawks wings were forced into jumpshots while Hawks bigs were denied embedded position. There...

Monday night at Arco Arena, if you closed your eyes and just let the sound wash over you, it was the glory days again. But instead of Chris and Peja and Vlade and Mike and Doug, it was Kevin and Spencer and Beno and Omri and Andres. The latter quintet are hardly household names for basketball fans, not even for Sacramento Kings fans, but Monday night they awakened all the old passions. What had been...

Bee Sports Editor/Opinion Udrih, Evans and other home-opening thoughts A few observations after watching the Kings' home opener from Section 115, Row E: • Were we too hasty in pushing Beno Udrih to the bench? Or maybe he needed some competition to push him. Against the Grizzlies, Udrih played like a point guard who deserves $6.031 million this season. It seems he hasn't performed that well in...

More photos » by Steve Yeater - AP Browse more photos » With all the excitement of a win (a win!), and the amazing showing by Omri Casspi, Beno Udrih and Spencer Hawes, it's easy to discount how widely Kevin Martin dominated this game. Forty-eight points has never been considered ho-hum, and while I didn't catch SportsCenter, I imagine the scoring performance (that is, again, 48 freaking...

Hero: Shane Battier (HOU) -- +36 in a 17 point Houston win over Utah. In the 15 minutes Battier was off the floor, the Rockets were negative 19. Runner Up: Beno Udrih (SAC ) -- +27 in an 11 point OT win. Goat: Tyreke Evans (SAC) -- negative 16 in 24.5 minutes of play -- his team (the Sac Kings) won by 11 in OT. When they took him out and played Udrih at the point, they were much, much better. Runner...

It began 25 years ago, these Kings in Sacramento. Gregg Lukenbill in his red sneakers. David Stern arriving in his limousine. Jerry Reynolds in the old, old, old Arco Arena, holding the assistant's clipboard and leading the cheers. It was loud. It was sold out. It was a victory. Just like Monday night. Those Kings of Reggie Theus, Mike Woodson and Larry Drew went on to secure a playoff berth, which...

The Kings' Jason Thompson (34) reacts before an announced sellout crowd of 17,317 at Arco Arena. Thompson fouled out with seven points and five rebounds. Kevin Martin hit the three-pointer on the left wing, then returned up the Arco Arena floor once again. It was the right kind of groundhog day for the Kings' shooting guard, yet another possession in which the basket looked as big as the ocean and...

• San Antonio's Manu Ginobili slaps bat from the air mid-game • 'I grabbed a bat. I didn't think it was a big deal,' says player It was with an uncanny sense of timing that a bat chose Halloween to disrupt the NBA tie between San Antonio Spurs and the Sacramento Kings.
