Game 32: Sacramento Kings @ Boston Celtics - 12/31/14 - 10 am pst 1 pm est

That's all on Cuz. That's just a hard-box out from Smart.

Not a good sign that he's crumbling when we need him to be a leader.

Gallows humor at its best:

Do we get 2 points for a takedown?

 

[rainmaker]

****.

Happy New Year, Sacramento. We're doing everything we can to put a winner out there on the court for the best fans in the NBA.

Signed,

There have been so many fouls committed against Cousins that have not been called. No wonder he's frustrated and playing like crap.

The officials today are truly letting the Celtics get away with murder. The fact that Boogie is maintaining his frustration is amazing

WRONG!

 

[miltonap]

This is a complete mess. Good job PDA, you moron

 

[Capt. Factorial]

FIX THIS NOW, VIVEK! I am now officially beyond angry.

Of all the things to be angry at Vivek about, Cousins throwing a guy to the ground is just not one of them. This is on Cousins 100%. His attitude in this game has been absolute crap. He has to man up. He's in the locker room talking about it, basically accusing his teammates of letting the coaching change affect their game. He has to walk that walk, too.

100% on Cousins. I am terribly disappointed.

 

[BenThePizzaGuy]

Is this a joke?

 

[PurpleHaze]

Cousins can't control himself. There's no other way to put it. I will say with Malone having his back it was probably less likely to go out of control.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Five is looking a lot less reasonable than it did a month ago.

 

[Krunker]

Jeez almost messed up the 3 on 1 fast break

 

[chief bromden]

Suddenly feels like the Westphal days again.

 

[206Fan]

Ben needs more shots.

 

[BenThePizzaGuy]

Simply put: Gay just doesn't care

 

[VF21]

Those of you so quick to blame Cousins just might want to consider what Kayte said via tweet (that I shared). Cousins has been totally mugged all game. When you add that onto the already festering pot of ooze we call the Kings, I do not blame him for finally losing it.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Ben needs more shots.

I need another shot!

 

[Larry89]

Everyone has their breaking point

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Can anyone really blame Cousins. Between the front office incompetence, the team falling apart on the floor, and the awful officiating. You could have seen this coming from space

 

[KingMilz]

Darren and Mclemore are probably super disappointed they didn't get traded to the Nets.

Preach brotha.

This isn't what we need out of our leader. He needs to be rallying the troops, not the one driving them off the cliff.

Other guys on the team aren't mailing it in. Landry, McCallum and Ben are all still playing hard and trying on both ends of the floor. Rudy and Cuz should be embarrassed with their effort and attitude today.

It took alot of work to get Cousins to start playing without getting heated so easily, it feels like its all coming undone and who knows if it can be re-done.

Not saying the officials cost us the game, but they've been absolutely terrible today. The only thing they got right was that double tech.

Leaders take charge of situation - not fold under pressure

 

[chief bromden]

I'd be mad and ready to blow if my management decided to the throw the rest of the season too. I mean, what's the point? Just wasting seasons of players' career.

Our leader was Michael Malone. NoW there is none. It's a devastating ripple effect that we are seeing.

This organization has no leadership. It's just a vacuum and everything is getting sucked up into it.

Boogie will probably get tossed today


It's been brewing since the Malone firing and it was just very easy to see coming.....

Malone was the leader. Cousins is still learning.

But Cousins can only take so much. This season has been a mess. It was only a matter of time before it all blew up. Today it blew up.

Not denying that at all. It's utterly apparent how dependent we were on Malone to keep this ship together. Just absolutely disappointing that our franchise guys are going in the wrong direction right now instead of embracing a leadership role.

 

[Dreadnought]

We've succeeded in losing to a team that is purposely designed to lose.
