[Game] Kings @ Pistons 3/11/14, 1630 Pacific, 1930 Eastern, 0830 Japan

i think he's trying to say that those teams do a lot with not so talented rosters, Rockets and Thunder cannot be included in that
In what sense are Memphis and Chicago "not so talented," relative to us? The Grizzlies have five guys that could, conceivably, start on this team, and the Bulls have six.
 
Why does Cousins try hard when the game is completely over where was this when the game was in the balance? He's been doing that heaps lately playing for stats?

But wait you said we are better than the Grizzlies with a full training camp? But now they have 5 guys who could start for is?

They do it more as a team as apposed to using star power. there is no Harden, Howard, Westbrook, Durant on those teams

damned if you do, damned if you don't; if he appears to be giving a poor effort at any time, people criticize him for not leading by example. if he gives consistent effort, even when he's not playing particularly well, people criticize him for "playing for stats."
 
Ray Mac is one ugly mofo. Going to be a decent player in this league though. Too bad the Kings don't see it.

Play hard when the game is there to be won not during garbage time

This wasn't the most energetic of Boogie's games but he had 14 rbds a 6 blocks. A lot of those came before the last few minutes. I think his game has changed since he got the last tech and I'm not really sure what he is supposed to do. It seems like he has dialed back the effort by dialing back his emotion.

so you're seriously suggesting that demarcus should be taking plays off at the end of a game simply because it's out of reach? if coach doesn't want to risk losing demarcus to an unfortunate injury during garbage time, he should pull him. but if demarcus is on the floor, he should be expected to give 100% effort, regardless of the eventual outcome of the game...

Why would you complain about Cousins playing hard in garbage time?
We used to have issues with Cousins not playing hard ever. Now, he is even playing hard during garbage time. 6 blocks!
I love this new Cousins. Now, the rest of the team needs to follow in his footsteps.
