I'm not blaming the refs. Look, you posted about 6 times in 2 pages that Collison sucked and cost us the game. Why keep posting it unless you were waiting for someone to comment? People did. You disagreed. Move on. There's nothing left to argue there.

Dude's 6th in the league for FG% and 3pt% among PGs. He had an off-night. 2 of those missed threes were at the end of the fourth and 2 were in OT. Yes it was a bad time to go cold. No it doesn't suddenly make him a mediocre PG.

At the end of the 4th quarter Cousins was literally swarmed every single possession. Scoring is all well and good but sometimes the smarter decision is to pass. The fact is we hit one three tonight. One. Half of them at least we're wide open. If anyone failed it was Ben, Nik, Ray, and Collison. Our guards besides Ben can't shoot for crap. We hit just 5 threes and you're talking about 12 extra points and you and I aren't having this discussion.
Anyone who suggests Cousins was playing for stats is a damn fool. He plays to win and had it not been for him we wouldn't even be sniffing a win this game. He is the engine of this team and the heart and soul. You know who plays for stats? Blake Griffin. Not our guy.

Ok. After hearing Corbin explain not fouling, I actually feel worse. Which I didn't think was possible.

It's a byproduct of when you force players into roles they aren't comfortable with. Cuz and Rudy are as good as 1-2 punch as there is in the NBA, but we're extremely thin in reliable scoring options who can create for themselves after that. So when one goes down, or one isn't rolling the way we need him too, it forces guys like DC, Landry and Ben to step up and fill that void. Landry stepped up huge tonight, but we basically didn't have a single other guy other than Cuz who hit shots tonight. DC was a part of that contribution, not the sole reason.

wow Corbin............. These last 40+ games are gonna be so frustrating.
Yes, "we." As in, you posted something inflammatory, and "we" responded to it. Just like when HereWeBoogie posted that photoshopped picture of Cousins in a Sonics jersey earlier; you knew what you were going for when you posted that. You might as well have, instead, made a post that just said, "I dare you guys to flame me!"
Also, as sdballer alluded to, whether it was deliberate or not, it most certainly seemed like you didn't get the initial response that you were hoping for, so you kept repeating yourself until you did.

Guessing league is going to look hard at flop by Tyson Chandler that led to Cousins' sixth foul in closing seconds.

@ailene_voisin be shocked if he isn't fined. Though Tyson won't mind paying 5 grand for a win. Neither would Cuban if he was asked

Does it bother anyone else seeing the Mavs not hitting anything from 3 and Cousins still had to play that far out of his mind for this team to even be competitive in this one?
Get this man some more help D'alessandro.

Corbin on waiting to foul: “I thought we were waiting to, thinking about letting them go, then we decided to take the foul."
Aaron Bruski @aaronbruski 8m8 minutes ago
More: “We probably should have just fouled them quicker. We just decided, there was four secs diff, wanted to see if they were going to 1/2

He was swarmed because they knew exactly where the ball was going. I don't disagree that he plays to win the majority of the time, but you gotta be pretty blind or delusional to see that he didn't change the way that he was playing when he got close to getting the triple double. Cmon now.

When most of your teammates stand and watch you get doubled what pass isn't a force? Hopefully one day every player sans McCallum and DWill (tonight) learn that if they move Big Cuz will find them.
That end to this game gave me back flashbacks of Kobe Bryant walking over Bibby in the lane and the foul was on Bibby in the playoffs. I felt the same frustration with D.M.C fouling out at the end of this game. Everyone in the NBA knows the last possession of the game your supposed to let the players play a little bit. That is unless the refs want to control the outcome of the game....... I guess my frustration is far to often the Kings seems to be on the short end of this stick.
I'd be astonished if he even knew he was close to a triple double. He probably didn't find out until after he was disqualified.
Talk about a game where we could have used Casspi. If nothing else, he moves without the ball.

Sounds about right...
DMC looks shell-shocked in the locker room. He's being very careful not to say what he thinks about that call, instead going with the glassy-eyed soft-spoken "It happens."
He asks how many turnovers the Kings had, shakes his head and says that's not good.
"I can't even really put my mind together on plays that happened..." He really looks totally and completely exhausted, mentally and physically. He's not answering some questions... He's truly at a loss for words (at least those that won't get him fined).

The good news is that the Kings are finally playing hard under Ty Corbin. The problem is that the Kings are playing under Ty Corbin.

Zach Zarba. Well, maybe not that first part. I don't know, ladies, you tell me?

Well, I'd be doubly astonished it he didn't.
I've got precedent on my side; most NBA players not named Kevin Love don't spend the game looking at the box score.
Sorry but this falls into the "I couldn't possibly care less what they look like, I just want them to get the freaking calls right" category for me.
Even if he knew he was close and even if on a few plays he was distracted by the potential of getting it, there's no way we are even in that position to win without his performance.
So, I've got one vote for "not dreamy." What say the rest of you ladies?

If we had Casspi, he would've gotten the triple double in the 3rd quarter and we win this game.
