demarcus cousins highlight mix vs the lakers?

Demarcus, this is the only video I could find on youtube that's similar to what you're asking about. It has Cousins scoring 27 points against the Lakers. Maybe there's another video on youtube that's a better match.

Fun to watch. I think Cousins also showed he has potential on the defensive end of the court. If he can come in a little lighter, a little stronger, and work hard, the sky's the limit..

Yeah, Cousins looks like he can possibly be a force on both ends of the court. I just hope that he works on his conditioning. And I hope he tries out some anger management techniques just so he can learn to stay focused and calm during games (especially when things are not going right for him).

My gut tells me, along with following twitter, that Cousins conditioning will be just fine. But we'll see! As far as anger management goes. Its a combination of maturing, and also working on it. The anger comes from the frustration of wanting to win, and having the perception that the officials are being unfair in their calls. And to some extent, the latter is true. But its how you deal with it that matters. I always find it amusing that we'll sit at home and scream at our TV's over a bad call, but we'll expect the very player that was the victim of that call, to remain calm.

I wonder how well the the people who are the harshest critics would fare, if they were the player on the court? Make no mistake. These players are being paid big bucks, and with that money comes a lot of responsibility, and a higher standard. But I think, that sometimes we need to remind ourselves that they are also human beings with the same emotions that we have. They feel pain the same way we do. They catch colds and have toothaches just like we do. They have fights with their wives or girlfriends just like we do, and it affects them the same way. They worry about their sick children just like we do. You go to work and have have a bad day, and mostly no one takes notice. They go to work and have a bad day, and its in the Bee the next day, and its talked about and criticized on Kingsfan.com.

I'm not making excuses for them. Its just the reality of their world. Expectations!
