would love to hear a few memories of exchanges between cousins and the hecklers! and anything else you heard that stuck out.

A few fans were yelling for a technical when Landry touched the ball sitting on the bench. Cousins yelled, " you're just yellin T T T just to say something! You don't even know what your talking about!"

The fans responded by asking if he got that Kentucky degree.

Another fan was calling for a foul and cousins asked if that fan had been fouled. He then asked for the gentleman to be quiet. (Slightly different words haha).

Cousins was great tho posing for pictures with the kitchen staff ( the guy serving food pulled out his phone to show me after seeing my Kings gear. He also high fived my wife along with a lot of the other players.

One thing I didn't expect to see at the game was Stauskas doing 360 dunks during practice. He has some ups

That is nice to know. It seems Nik now has been designated as the throw in on any and every (slight exaggeration) trade proposal. Almost as bad as needing to get rid of yesterday's garbage (another slight exaggeration). Last year's Ben.

Why are some of your freaking out about Wiggins having a nice game? First of all, Rudy has been hampered by the achilles injury. You can clearly see it. I give him credit for gutting it out. He's still helping our team, even with the injury. This is the NBA, you're not going to be able to stop every single player. I guess this is what happens when you start winning! You get picky, even when we win!

Klay Thompson started out his rookie season raw and slow. By mid-season he was making Monta Ellis expendable. Nik will be fine.

Nik being fine given time is my expectation.

One caveat - Wiggins "totally outplayed" a GIMPY Rudy Gay.

He didn't look too gimpy against Chicago. If we're going to use the gimpy excuse then we shouldn't grade him altogether, or he just shouldn't be playing.

Slight exaggeration.

Butler had a great game against Rudy. You can sort of tell that the injury has been bothering him a bit. I've noticed that he's not as aggressive as we've seen him be. I remember a report somewhere saying that Rudy should play, because he's paid to play.

Well, Butler has been playing like the best SF in the league this year and Wiggins is primed to eventually be another Paul George (and took an inefficient 22 shots for his 29 points) so it's really hard to fault a one-legged Rudy for not shutting them out.

See, you don't care.

I watched the game and someone told me Wiggins was looking like Lebron.. I don't think he does. I think Paul George would be a good comparison minus the play making ability. I honestly don't see Wiggins ever being as vocal as someone like George. Most passive players coming into the NBA stay passive throughout the NBA. He definitely has potential.

I don't think Rudy was expecting Wiggins to be aggressive this game. I'm happy to see Wiggins do good despite putting these numbers up against Gay.

It's hard to care about something when you don't know the existence, nature or extent of what you're supposed to care about.
