Does Chris Kaman Have that Powder Disease?

Being in Southern California, I’m subjected to a lot of LA Clippers coverage, and may be secretly brainwashed by their announcers into thinking this team is talented. At one point in January the Clippers beat the Lakers, Blazers, and Heat in a one week stretch. Then again, they have losing skids of 4 games twice since then.

Tonight every other game in the NBA was finished, so watching the Clippers try to hang with the Utah Jazz was my only option, and the only way to stay interested in two teams that I know cannot win the title this season, I bet on the Clippers not to get beat by more than 6 points (play money of course, because gambling is not legal).

The Clippers kept it close the whole game, even leading for much of it, but once it came down to Chris Kaman playing against a legitimate player like Carlos Boozer, it became clear why the Clippers are still the urinal cake of the West.

Everything Kaman tried, Boozer made it look slow and predictable. Unlike Kaman’s doppleganger in Powder, Kaman could barely move himself with his mind, let alone move the basketball into the hoop, missing no less than 4 free throws in the final minutes of the game.

If Kaman is dying of some sort of terminal cancer, I feel really bad. But if he’s always gonna be this ugly and play basketball like that, no one should have to watch it, and he shouldn’t be allowed to play home games in the same building as Kobe Bryant.
