Anyone see this, It was on sportscenter they showed some highlights Garcia was getting into the faces of some UK players and they showed Cousins on the bench talking to coach Cal.

Garcia lead DR with 30 points. Cousins had 28 and 14.

Someone on twitter asked Cousins what the deal was with Cisco, and Boogie said Cisco was just joking around. It was no big deal.

Watching the game yesterday, I couldn't help but to think...gee why can't Garcia shoot that good for the Kings? That being said, Cousins still had some silly turnover's and I appreciated that the Dominican team didn't lay down and they played hard. Gotta respect that. I heard there will be another game later today?

Sounds like there is another game, at least from what I read.

He can and usually does shoot that good for us. He is a very good shooter, and his percentages say just that. The best deep shooter on our team for sure.

The problem is getting open. Obviously he is going to have an easier time getting open against a thrown together UK alumni team than during an NBA game. When he is open, it usually goes in. I've always been a Garcia guy... I love having him on this team.

Cousins is no way 7'. He looked shorter than Nazr in that first game and he's listed at 6'11". I'd say Cousins probably isn't even 6'11". Super long arms though so it doesn't really matter.

Cousins measured out at 6'10.75" in shoes at the combine. Or essentially a quarter inch short of 6'11". He has a wingspan of 7'5.75", and a standing reach of 9'5", which is the same standing reach as Jerome Jordan. According to combine measurements, Mohammad is one half inch taller than Cousins without shoes. That aside, trying to tell which player is taller than the other on television is pure folly. Camera angles and depth perception can distort reality big time.

Guess I was right, I knew he didn't look a full 6'11" to me. I bet anything he probably plays in thinner soled shoes as well.

I'm going off when Nazr and Cousins were standing right next to eachother. Nazr looked taller no question.
