I said it in the last game.. It's such a shame he doesn't get the "If you go to the floor there MUST be a foul!" treatment guys like AD and Blake Griffin get.
He's a solid guy all around. We just run into troubles when we force him to be anything more than 3&D player.
I have a feeling Temple is probably going to start instead of Lawson. Collison-Temple-Gay-Barnes-Cousins with Lawson/Collison(McLemore)/Afflalo/Tolliver/Koufos off the bench?
I feel like, in order to start to change the refs' opinions of him, Cousins might have to have, like, five or six games in a row where he's basically like Adam Sandler in the Longest Yard remake, where he takes a beating on three or four straight plays after halftime, without complaining about it.
He might literally have to get beat on for five games in a row, without complaining, just so that the refs will finally start to give him the star treatment that other players on his level get.
