[Game] Kings @ Warriors 28 DEC 2015, 22:30 ET/19:30 PT

[Tetsujin]

If we're going to acknowledge that Boogie has an attitude problem at this point in this season, can we also acknowledge that George Karl is a potentially senile, completely ineffective coach at this point in his career?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Reality disagrees with you.

Who was the leader on Larry Brown's Pistons? The '06 Heat? Jerry Sloan's Jazz? Franchise player =/= leader.

 

[fansinceday1]

You people blaming this on cousins are ridiculous. The Warriors went into halftime on fire. They've just merely continued. This would have happened with or without cuz.

 

[k_dubb90]

Give me a perimeter superstar, and a decent big. And I'm on board for trading cuz

 

[Showtime]

We've been living with it knowing that a Cousins with his head on straight can lead us to victories. Yes, he costs us something but I want to see trade that gives what Cousins gives.

Let me ask you this: what do you think it will take from the franchise's perspective to make that happen? IMO, it will take an entire coaching change, philosophy change, and getting a roster to match perfectly with his play style and attitude. Even then, without having another alpha dog to put him in line, it will be tough. Do you think this franchise has the ability to make the necessary changes? Or, do you think it would be easier to move on and win another way?

Omri and Kosta. Done.

 

[lwc]

Thankfully, Klay is out

 

[Glenn]

Part of the value is "addition by subtraction". The subtraction is a losing attitude on a regular basis

I don't agree at all but it's not worth discussing.

Lived the addition by subtraction, we still haven't recovered

Yeah, but his 1-3 and then getting ejected to start Q3 took all the wind out of our sails and the team was unable to keep up, something they were doing in Q2.

 

[Henkel]

Imagine that - the coach adjusting to the game flow. Must be nice

Having a guy like Iguodala helps too.

 

[jcwkings]

If thats how he acts in the game, imagine him in closed practices. It justs kills the chemistry of the team. Basically every star has to be aligned for Cousins to give you a great effort. The dude wilts at the first sign of adversity. First time I have said this, but trade him.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

No worries; I'm sure that there are loads of those on the trading block...

 

[New Era]

For .......... We can't win without him. That's been proven.

You realize that when you trade a player of his caliber you would get some decent pieces in return, right? It's not like we trade him for a bag of potato chips and play with the same guys we have now.

 

[Bricklayer]

All the normal trade Cousins nonsense huh?

Jesus what a bunch of wimps.


As a salient point I might like to note his bit of stupidity there might have cost us 5-8 minutes of him, tops, given he already had 5 fouls. In fact its quite likely him not being careful enough to avoid those fouls was more damaging to the amount of Cousins we had this game than the technicals.

You seriously want to go on with this act? It's time to move on. Nothing is changing with the guy. This is it, this is him

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah, but his 1-3 and then getting ejected to start Q3 took all the wind out of our sails and the team was unable to keep up, something they were doing in Q2.

If you think that Boogie going 1-of-3 to start the half was the reason the Kings started to lose more so than the fact the entire team both forgot to play defense/offense and the fact that the Warriors are really good, I don't know what to tell you.

 

[dude12]

People who haven't postd here all game coming out of the woodwork to pile on....haha.

 

[SLAB]

In the midst of the Cuz drama, I'll add this.

NO MORE DARREN FREAKIN COLLISON PLEASE.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Durant and Ibaka sign and trade - surely would have to throw in more pieces if remotely possible.

 

[Im Still Ballin]

Build around Casspi.

 

[New Era]

Draymond acted 5x as worse after his first tech and the refs pretended like nothing happened. Cuz didn't even deserve that first tech plus he had five fouls anyways.

Save it....you are clueless if you think he didn't deserve to be thrown out.

 

[Shaqfuey]

For .......... We can't win without him. That's been proven.

You realize we would receive players in return, right? Your comment sounds like they'd play a man down.

 

[Showtime]

There are some that have been saying that all year long. His decisions just don't make any sense with the roster we have.

He's probably way more relaxed in practice because there's not as much on the line.

What do you think Cuz is worth?

 

[fansinceday1]

Yeah, but his 1-3 and then getting ejected to start Q3 took all the wind out of our sails and the team was unable to keep up, something they were doing in Q2.

We're obviously watching different games. This had nothing to do with cousins.
Cousins has been a hindrance the whole game because of the pace. You anti cousins people should be rejoicing that he got ejected. We could go back to trying to outrun the Warriors.

Kings franchise history has not supported this thesis.

Right on cue

 

[jcwkings]

I'm [probably in the minority, but I am just as pissed as Cousins. 3 fouls on him and 3 on Rondo in the first quarter? We were already backed against the wall, you want to cut our legs out from under us too? The Warriors are damn fine team, they don't need help.

They were all fouls with the Draymond block being the only toss up. You pick up your 4th and you hack the MVP 20 seconds later? Thats Cousins for you.
