Game 32: Sacramento Kings @ Boston Celtics - 12/31/14 - 10 am pst 1 pm est
- Thread starter VF21
- Start date
Did Cousins get ejected for that play, or did he get ejected for it being his second technical?
By blown out of proportion I meant more that folks will (and already have) use this to paint him out as a bad guy, everything he's done to improve his image was for nothing, you can't win with him, etc. Bringing all that garbage back is absurd.
I know it's Tommy Heinsohn, but on the local broadcast here Mike Gorman asked him what you would do with a player like Cousins (after he tossed Smart) and Tommy said 'trade him'. Tommy is insane. But that is the sort of 'out of proportion' stuff I'm talking about.
If he's suspended for tomorrows game, I won't have a huge problem with it. I don't think he should be, but I would understand it.
And that's the issue. Cousins has lost trust. He doesn't function at all without trust. That's what we're seeing. FO has kept him in the dark and not explained there actions. That, he can't deal with and the frustration shows on the basketball court. That body slam was not related to the game per se.

BOS broadcast now 8th straight to mock SAC for 4-on-5. Doesn't matter if it was real thing just the talk makes SAC look like joke franchise

Hmmm... oddly enough this is the area of this new ownerships business that is the most flawed. They didn't even have a real press release on Malones firing until hours and hours later. Then their "press conference" was a chair on the floor at the practice facility. Totally unprofessional organization these days.
He was ejected for a second technical. The call with Smart was called a double-tech. But I think it was a way for the officials to pussyfoot around the situation since he already had a tech. Smart's tech will be rescinded after the game, and that prevents the officials from having to worry about flagrant-1 or flagrant-2 or whatever. He's already out of the game.
Got it.
Got it.

Cousins ejection today was not about tangling w/ Marcus Smart. DMC clearly beyond frustrated since Michael Malone was fired. And not alone.

I know it’s true. I just did a crowdsource to confirm.

I know this won't happen, but our defense is worse, while our offense is pretty much the same. The only difference is that we dribbling the ball faster up the court but lose the time we gain by doing so, cause DMC is trailing this play all the time.
If this was really about playstyle, it's concerning that we don't see much of a difference in offense right now.

OMFG - The post-game crew just made the comment that Ty Corbin announced RIGHT BEFORE THE GAME that the interim tag has been taken off and he will be the coach for the remainder of the year.
Wow. Just freaking wow. The wheels on the bus have quit going round. They've fallen off, the axle has broken and the bus is sliding towards a very nasty-looking cliff.

The Kings haven't held an opponent to under 100 points in eight straight games
Since Malones been gone.
