These damn Lithuanians and their elbows.
That one was accidental though. Unlike the dirty one Cuz got
Right at this moment, I'm kinda more interested in when we host Toronto.The home opener this year against the Warriors should be interesting.

Well chippee by Cousins, but avoided disaster. Rudy helped on glass while the big guys were wrestling, but may have lost a tooth.

Valanciunas elbowed Cousins in the ribs on that play where Cousins fouled out. That guy is throwin elbows on every single play

Please no international incident. Cousins and someone got into it a bit - at final handshakes! Coach K jumped in to seperate along with few players and cooler heads prevailed. WOW!

I Don't think it was Cousins. It looked like he was just stepping in to break it up. Thompson was going at it with one of the Lithuanian twins

You may be right but thought I saw very quick glimpse of Cousins moving near Valanciunas (presumably for handshake) and it erupted or started to erupt. Probably have to await locker room comments or usual Twit feedback to find out.

Hard to tell exactly what was going on

I just watched it in super slow mo. Pretty sure it was Curry who shoved the twin as soon as the camera was cutting to it

Can't tell much anything here other than a few minor ruffled feathers. It did look like Curry and Thompson were in the thick of it. Look at Anthony Davis face throughout - as in what this??

except the idiot TV guy said "I don't know if it was DeMarcus Cousins or..." So of course that's all most people heard

We better get an editorial piece apologizing on behalf of Cuz. Knee-jerk assumptions by media that it's Cuz should be called out from now on, because that !@#$ is getting old!

Pretty sure it was Klay, who has some chippee in him.

Good, no DeMarcus involvement at all and no international incident in the little post-game scuffle. Rudy Gay despite taking an inadvertent elbow in mouth during the game looks like mature leader (oldest guy on Team USA) in telling his former Toronto teammate Valanciunas to cool it after "having living daylights scared out of him" by The Boogiemeister.

Whenever I read comments like this, I wonder how many Kings Fans live in such a Kings-centric world that they legitimately can't name any basketball announcers besides Reynolds and Napear?

Although in the case of Grant and Jerry, they'd probably blame Cuz without leaving room for doubt.

I thought we looked really good in this one as well. The recurring theme seems to be that the opposing team/refs are able to slow the game down for about 20 or so minutes, preventing us from getting into a rhythm. Eventually the likes of Curry/Thompson/Harden/Irving start making threes, the opponent starts to fatigue, and we blow the game open in the 3rd. It's not as pretty as previous USA teams but a blowout is a blowout.
Krzyzewski/Thibodeau's halftime adjustments have been outstanding. Makes you wonder how shoddy their pre-game scouting is?

More than just other teams slowing it down, almost every game now has been marked by our guards coming out like a pack of selfish heroballing twits. Before halves we have almost no ball moment, maybe one pass once they pass halfcourt, an then whoever has it quick shots some stupid contested shot. Amazing how much that does not work. Then at halftime the coaching staff passes around what have to be the heavily dogeared See Jane Pass readers again, and everything looks better after halftime.

Personally, I think all of this is great experience, especially for Cousins, no matter who we beat.

Conjecture I saw (on Reddit) was that Cousins came in and pulled multiple people out of the "fray." It does look like he comes in and gets one guy (looks like Drummond), then Klay, and then comes back and gets Faried, kind of dragging them out of the skirmish. If so, awesome.
EDIT: Go to this link and load the first video, and scroll the window to the right. Looks to me like Boogie is pulling people away.
