Cousins is Mentally Weak

Yeah but there is no way that I would have answered that way to a player that was clearly trying to physically intimidate me. Judging what I know of you I doubt you would have either. I am too competitive and answering "no, sorry" to someone would be seen as backing down. That fact the Cousins got himself thrown out was just a bonus for the Bucks.
you know, if someone tried to chop my legs like that (which could potentially cause a very serious injury), and then when i confront them they said "what if it was on purpose, what are you going to do about it", i would have done ALOT worse to Mr. Dunleavy then a just light elbow to the back of the head.
I fixed your post
Here's our terrible human being off the court.
Busy being a celebrity instead of working on his post game
Picture was taken before he got disqualified and smashed the paddle. Girl in white t-shirt lost.
Summer camp. Ate the kid's apple sauce.
Plays Santa, but didn't give any gifts. Selfish Santa.
Bumping into fan, flagrant 2.

Excuse me??? I resent you taking my post (which was quite moderate IMO) and using it to address all the ignorant Kings fans that you disagree with! "You have no idea what you are watching" - really? So now this thread has devolved into the worst of Kings discussions. Everyone showing their worst sides, exaggerating their own arguments and those of the people they disagree with. It's gotten ugly. I kept reading, hoping it would take a turn for the better. But it all started with your immature post where you felt it necessary to ridicule all Kings fans that don't agree with your assessment of DMC. Think about it.
I don't disagree with that either.
Now see, somewhere in the real world not inhabited by trolls and Napears, virtually everything that happened throughout the incident made some kind of sense. Dunleavy may have accidentally done more than he intended. Cousins, having no way to know that, took umbrage as a guy chopped his knees and sent him to the ground. Being Cousins, he doesn't cool down (the one stupid person here is the coach who left him in). Cousins challenges Dunleavy. But its not a simple question, its a challenge., So Dunelavy tells him "**** you! What if it was." Now Cousins, having had his knees chopped and having been told **** you by the chopper, decides on a little retriubution.
Not one thing in my little story there is unlikely, and not one thing in that little story is indicative of anybody being particularly out of control. Two competitive players get into an altercation. It happens 20 years ago to Mailman, he would have sent Dunleavy flying with an elbow too. The difference is that Cousins is a young hothead, and so he's pissed and does it all at once, not thinking of anything but. Mailman would have waited a bit. Sometime in the early 4th maybe on the break. This tit for tat stuff happens in competitive sports. Only because its Cousins and he has not yet learned patience and acceptability does it become a story, let alone another opportunity for a bunch of ninnies to squeal about Cousins cancerous nature.

FWIW, I am not defenidng LWP here because I think he is trolling, but at the same time it really doesn't bother me. I have had posts deleted numerous times that there was nothing wrong with that a moderator didn't like. Nothing degrading, no swear words, etc.
That being said, he is getting fair warning and is still going.

Sorry, but you box someone out from in front of them and by standing tall so they don't go over your back. Dunleavy came from the side (slightly behind) and ducked down low running into the side of DMC's knee. That is a dangerous play any way you look at it. And if Dunleavy has been around basketball his whole life (being a coaches son) and should have known better. But Dunleavy has a history of dirty play so I am not surprised by his actions. He has done that most of his career.
Being a clean player (which btw Dunleavy never has truly been) doesn't preclude having started the whole incident. If tommorow Jimmer dives in front of Noah trying to block him out and caves his knee in the process, Noah is NOT going to be happy about it. If Noah hops up and says did you do that on purpose!? And Jimmer sticks out his chin and says "what if I did!", Noah is going to be even not happier. Still won't make Jimmer a dirty player. But it will certainly put him at the center of an incident anyway.
All I know is that I watched a lot of Warrior games back when Dunleavy played for them, and both Dunleavy and Troy Murphy were notorious for taking cheap shots IMO. They Both are smart players that understand that they are not the most important players on their team. So if they can help get under the skin of the other team's star, and get him to take himself out of the game (or force the refs to), then they help their team in the long run. That is exactally how it worked out in this game.
Pretty much, this thread took a turn for the worse. It's cool to have your own opinion and defend it, but once you start attacking people, that's when you need to just back off and calm down. We're all here in support of the Kings, or in Npalim's case, Jimmer, but he's up front with it, which I can respect that lol.
