I have no problem with him waiting until the clock is stopped and asking the official for clarification. But Ronnie Garretson is one of those guys like Joey Crawford. Players have to be very careful - and DMC's biggest problem is he's not always able to contain his emotions when he thinks he's been wronged.
I personally fully understand where DMC is coming from, even if it ends up biting him in the posterior. I'm a very strong Libra and fairness (or balance) is very important to me. I've gotten myself into trouble more than once because I couldn't shut up about something that I felt wasn't fair.

I'm not sure why Malone hasn't given Casspi more minutes. I know he's Rudy's sub, but he can play multiple positions. They can play together.

An offensive foul should never be called if the contact is with a secondary defensive player who has established a defensive position within a designated "restricted area" near the basket for the purpose of drawing an offensive foul.
The "restricted area" for this purpose is the area bounded by an arc with a 4-foot radius measured from the middle of the basket.
EXCEPTION: Any player may be legally positioned within the "restricted area" if the offensive player receives the ball within the Lower Defensive Box.

There is an exception, but Cousins did not receive the ball within the lower defensive box, he drove in from the 3 point line. In other words, it was not an offensive foul.
That's the second time Thompson has found Landry on that high/low.
Cousins bucked the heck out of the player.. if he had flop, it would've been much more clearer. It was an offensive foul plain and simple.

He tried it one time if I recall, against the Clippers. Looked good

if we could get this kind of passing out of JT, then he'd as good as the spurs' tiago splitter.

It's tough to tell anymore. Who can keep track

Doesn't matter, his foot was in the restricted area. If the offensive foul was called at the top of the key, I would have agreed because that's where he bumped him the worst. By definition of the rule, it should have been a foul on Baynes.

I think JT has been the Kings best/ most valuable King tonight. Keeping the bench from playing undersized, hasn't sat yet, and basically defending Tim Duncan as well as you possibly can.
No. Cuz gets those calls all the time.. where he flops onto the ground after his man keeps bumping and bumping him.

He's effective against the power/post up/hustle type players, it's the skilled shooters than he struggles with at the 4. He's done the job on TD, Blake, Faried x2.

We're down by one and DMC hasn't even broken a sweat this quarter. Relax.
According to Grant, one of the officials came over to he and Jerry and explained why that was a foul on Cousins. Grant said that he agreed after hearing the explanation that it was the right call...

Is he in the restricted area when it happens? I am not trying to be a hard***, I am just reading the rules and based on what's written, it shouldn't have been a foul on Cousins. Did I think it was? Yes, I do, but if you are really keeping on top of the rules, then it was the wrong call. Unless there is more to it that isn't written on NBA.com

Keith Van Horn was the second pick in '97

Like I said, I also think it was an offensive foul, but by definition provided on NBA.com it seems like the wrong call. All in all, glad I am not a ref. There is a lot of interpretation that can be made.
Au contraire. It's looking pretty darn good considering all that is happening and the Kings have the lead.
Now that's what I'm talkin' about!
