Mbenga was a big part of filling the gap at center last season while Andrew Bynum continued his rehabilitation. The Lakers coaching staff worked hard to familiarize Mbenga with the [...]

How thin are the Clippers these days? Josh Powell - who is cultivating bona fides as a serviceable 15-20 MPG power forward in the league - is starting against Eddy Curry. Curry is no world-beater, but Powell gives up two inches and about 75 pounds to him on the low block. But Powell...
