[Game] Game 38: Sacramento Kings vs. Dallas Mavericks, 1/13/15. 7PM PST 10PM EST

[VF21]

Well, I'd be doubly astonished it he didn't.

I cannot speak for all NBA players, but I can speak for one former King who didn't make a point of watching his statistics. The only one he really kept track of was fouls, because he wanted to stay on the court.

General idea of how he was doing? Yep. Full knowledge of the exact numbers? Not while he was on the court.

"we"? Funny to see a lot blame the refs on 1 call out of 40? Why not blame the overall performance of a player throughout the entire game?

I think it is Cousins' fault because of his 9 TOs. Of course it's also possible we were beaten because of many factors but that's too complex to consider.

 

[jaysutton2003]

DMC can't take much more losing. You can see it in his post game,

 

[spok22s]

I've got precedent on my side; most NBA players not named Kevin Love don't spend the game looking at the box score.

I'm sure it's not too difficult for one of his teammates or the someone in the crowd to notify him.

Ben McLemore has open wounds above and below his left eye. Looks like he got in a fight. No stitches.

Cousins asked what Mavs did different vs him in 2nd Half gave no verbal answer just slapped each hand over others forearm loudly like a foul

 

[206Fan]

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.

Nope. It was all in rage. And I have no clue what picture you are talking about.... If expressing your angry opinion is invalid, then that itself, speaks volume. Telling someone they're consistently wrong, doesn't help the situation either.
I'll remember to keep my rage out of game threads. It's like telling everyone to stfu about the whole "pace" thing. I get it, you don't like it, why keep talking about it? Except, this situation is in a game thread, and not posted in 20 other threads all over the site.

I'm not saying there's 'no chance' that he knew, but I'd bet you lunch that I'm right, and you're wrong.

Please read my comment above. Teammates don't want to jinx someone who is doing real good, so unless he asks, they don't tell. DMC was not playing for the triple-double. If I didn't believe that during that game, I certainly did after looking at him in the post-game. It wasn't about personal accomplishment for him. It was about the WIN. You can believe that or not, but I am absolutely sure I'm right on this.

You know what? You have a point there. Which is why, if you'd been more proficient at refreshing the page, you might have noticed that I deleted it almost immediately after I posted it, and several mintues before you responded to it.

Now, how can I argue with that.. :b

“I had 9 turnovers. That could have changed the game a whole lot more if I cut that down in half.” -Cousins

The damn coach needs to take some of the blame, as do the other teammembers. I'm sick and tired of the one bright bulb in the lamp always pointing the finger of blame at himself.

 

[hrdboild]

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.

Come on VladeFan, that can't be true. Surely you've just forgotten about this stunning piece of eye candy...

Roooondooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[KingMilz]

Good effort in a pretty exciting game, we just had a few little things (which turned out to be monsterous) when Cuz got fouled out followed up by one of the worst shooters in the NBA drilling a game changing 3 in OT. We are just a bit to careless with the ball.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Rondo can go ahead and come play with the best young player in the game if he likes. i'd be fine with that

Well, if a Rondo/DC/Ben rotation couldn't fit PDA's pace criteria, no one could.

 

[PHXSUNSFAN]

i kno trade him rite

Take IT back for him.

 

[Iced Espresso]

So took a mini hiatus from the madness, went to the game last night after a break. Get hosed by the refs. Typical Kings fan experience of the last 30 years.

 

[Letsgokings13]

I feel so bad for Cuz. Consistently getting ****ed.

 

[Iced Espresso]

One of the reasons I think he will play his whole career here. We've got it too as a fanbase. Like he is gonna take us to the next level or we will both die trying.

 

[Merdiesel]

But he didn't. If I were Cousins, I'd have been ****ed, too. Lauren Holtkamp's definitely not getting a Valentine from me, I'll tell you that much. But he kept his composure, even though he may have wanted to melt down, and that counts more than what he almost did.

Also, on that subject, having watched the NOP/BOS game last night, **** YOU, Cedric Maxwell!

No, that is the absolutely best part of this game/season.
We all knew that this kid had it in him. Unlike the rest of the sports world, we knew his anger stemmed from his hatred for losing. For a fan base that seems to get burned every other night, we struck gold in DeMarcus Cousins. Through all of the doom and gloom chaos the past few years, when everyone expected Cousins to bail on this sinking ship, he never did. He stuck it out and supported the city through it all. I have never been more proud of one guy to wear a Kings uniform.

 

[lawlman91]

Actually I and pretty much the rest of the board can and will tell you otherwise. You just won't accept it. And that's fine.
