I like the effort. Inconsistent at times although.

I really hope people take a moment or two to appreciate what caliber of talent he is.

Many just don't want to recognize how important DeMarcus is to this team. This notion that the team would be better off without him is so far from reality. Everyone upset about our draft pick situation needs to understand that the entire reason for having a high lottery pick is to GET a player like DeMarcus. And they aren't in every draft. But we have one. A guy that can win games all by himself. If and when the front office figures out the right complimentary talent, this team will be dang good.
Oh, and see what happens when the coach gets Boogie down in the post? Great things.
Back to the topic at hand -- nice to see Cuz impact the game on the defensive end. When he focuses on it, he's a pretty darn good defender.

No one denies his talent. Just his resolve. His market value is sky high and it could put this franchise in the right direction. Culture is what this franchise lacks.

Is there anyway we can add a dislike button for posts we don't like, kinda like ^ above me
The ignore button is your friend. All you'll really miss out on is fawning over Karl and rambling about effort

If he played with this effort every game we would be in the playoffs right now. No one ever denies his talent. The recent 2-8 stretch is tied to lack of effort from out top guys permeating down the roster, and yes the coaching schemes help absolutely no one. Still this team is talented enough to be at or above .500 right now despite the coaching.

Could you imagine if we traded Cuz to a team in the west and had to face him 4x a year??? He'd make Tony Delk's play against us look like Jimmer...

But they aren't lacking a franchise player, which is much harder to find.

Anybody asking any more of DeMarcus Cousins is frankly being ridiculous.
I don't care who you are. You're being ridiculous. Its not about who you are, its not about you being a friend, family member, media member, its about situational ignorance, because even people who should know better sometimes display it.
Numbers are your friends, not to teach you the game, but to keep you honest. To keep you from making spurious arguments.
Here's what the numbers say after tonight:
Cousins is now averaging 30.7ppg on .567TS% in 2016. Those are MVP level numbers in a normal year.
With tonight's game he completed the climb back over .450 shooting, and his TS% returned to within .001 of last's year's .545.
After tonight's game Cousins is now averaging 28.6 pts/per36 minutes. That's the most prolific scoring season out of any center in 40 years. Shaq never scored this prolifically per minute. Neither did Hakeem, Admiral, Ewing, Moses.
When you sit around questioning his conditioning, his committment, his competitiveness, his focus you are being ridiculous, and I'll explain why: because he is putting up all time numbers, some of the greatest numbers we've seen out of a big man, in his current state. When you sit around and complain he could be better! He needs to do more! And worse yet if he doesn't do more we should dump him! You are quite literally demanding he be the ****ing GOAT big man before you'll be satisfied. And that is asinine. You don't trade superstars. You don't trade superstar bigs in particular. And when you have the greatest big man of his generation you don't sit around kvetching about how disappointed you are.
