Honestly, I'm not sure what he's saying most of the time.
Later: and lot's or too many of the shots missed were poor/challenged shots.

Cousins' play and demeanor was horrible today.
But...if it is true that Corbin announced at the start of the game for the very first time that he was going to be the coach for the remainder of the season after having inked said deal over a week ago...my guess is that Cousins saw that the FO had no reason and no plan to fire Malone.
And he is probably thinking: If the FO doesn't care, then why should I?
Again, I'd rather he fight through it, but it would be understandable. And with him missing open shots and getting mugged...it was a perfect storm to see him spiral out of control.
Anyway, sure I can blame Cousins for this one loss.
But you know what?
I'm blaming the FO for all the losses for the rest of the season...as well as the absolute garbage product that is being put on the floor.

For those that watched that game, has Corbin loss the team?
He never had it

I know what you mean. But what I'm saying is, did the team show up today completely tuning Corbin out?
When I posted that 20 minutes ago my computer showed not one fll page of posts had been. Maybe the computer is even slower than I am. While I was reading your several responses to my post I noticed there were 14+ pages of posts.
I watched the beginning quarter and only intermittently after that. Celts had 32 assists and 11 turnovers, we had12 assists and 16 turnovers. No way in hell for us to be competitive. We weren't.

What are they kids?!
If that's really the case...
So to take a team that started to look stable and solid, as well as a unit, after years of inconsistency , it's almost a crime.

I don't make the list
and I don't know your point of view.
I just stated a fact regarding one of the major problems(my point of view). And yes, to take out of a solid team unit, a 6th player that play well and shoot great, during all the games, just to lose him for the team. So yes, it does reflect the whole problem. To take something solid that has been built, just to damage it. After years of failures, this year the feeling was different regarding the unit that played coach/players. So to destroy what has been built, it's absolutely sad... And now, after you broke it, go figure how to fix it.

One has to wonder about Vivek's influence on GS during his tenure as a partial owner there.
It wasnt until after he left that they started playing well.
Granted, there are a lot of other factors, mainly the development of Curry into one of the league's premier players.... But still... Was Vivek being an "irritant" over in the bay holding them back?
We see what he's doing when given the reins.

Did He ever have the team?

Never had it.
Malone and Cuz...cut from the same cloth. They wear their emotions on their sleeve and losing doesnt settle well at all. Make no excuses.

The players didn't even know he was their coach until last night. Today's result was inevitable as the players now realize the front office is intentionally sabotaging this season.
They've never tuned him in. Why should they?

Malone was the only one who could control Cousins temper and attitude.
Cousins is gonna revert back to his old self imo.

Not home at the moment and had to go to a Caliente bar (gambling establishment) to watch the game. Giant waste of time and money. Today's game may be the worse Kings game I've ever seen, but take note of my age, and my bad memory. This game stunk to high heaven. If I didn't know better, and to be honest, I don't know better, I'd say the team was losing the game on purpose. I've never seen Gay miss that many open shots before. He didn't just miss them, he totally bricked them. In the second half I started to think that Cuz is just looking for an excuse to explode, and get the second T. He has a lot of players he respects on the Celts, so why not body slam the rookie that he doesn't know.
I'm not sure we could have won this game if we had brought back an old Royal, Oscar Robertson. We played ZERO defense. They weren't just strolling down the lane to the basket, they were allowed to get position right under the basket, receive the pass, and lay it in. Not once, not twice, but countless times. This team is coming apart at the seams, and if something isn't done quickly, any hope for this season will have evaporated. I feel sorry for Corbin. He's in a lose/lose situation. That said, when they sent over the contract for the rest of the year, he didn't have to sign it. I'am so angry right now, that I'm going to stop before I say something that gets me banned. If the Kings had been playing Cousins old team, the Kentucky Wildcats today, they would have gotten their heads handed to them. That's how badly they played.

Woah now buddy. No need to lump in jazz bands with this nonsense we see on the court

How is that fair to Marcus Smart?
How is it Smart's fault that the Kings fired Malone and hired Corbin?
Cousins should pick on people his own size if he wants to let steam off imo not rookie guards.

I'm with you on this one.
I'm not suggesting anything along those lines. Only trying to explain the tweet.

I don't think you get it. Smart was a relatively innocent victim of Boogie's pent up anger. This is the first time he has lost it in a long time and there is only one coach who could keep him relatively calm and that was Malone.

Let me start by saying Im a Celtics Fan. Cousins is a great talent but his attitude is a coach killer and team killer. I don't think you can win championships with guys like that. Everyone knew at some point he was going to explode. I believe Cousins can carry a team to the playoffs but he's going to need a total attitude change if he wants to win championships. I get it he's only 24 but at what point do you hold him responsible. Cousins needs to be slapped around a little the problem is he's always the toughest guy in the room.
Just giving an outsiders opinion not trying to pee people off
The most diplomatic way of describing your "outsider's opinion" would be uninformed, self-serving, and opportunistic.
