Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins may think that his protests may prevent him from the suspension the NBA is ready to send his way on Wednesday, but he’s wrong about that. He was wrong to elbow Milwaukee Bucks wing Mike Dunleavy Jr. in a game on Sunday , he was wrong in every suspension he’s received in his three-year career ( save for the weird one concerning Sean Elliott ), and he’s wrong to try to get out of his latest misstep by claiming “bad timing”* for what more or less looked like DMC intentionally clocking the back of Dunleavy’s head with a retaliatory elbow. (Got my finger-pointing game on point today, friends.) In practice on Tuesday, one in which Cousins sat out as a result of the dangerous-but-that’s-how-it-is-sometimes box out that Dunleavy gave DeMarcus before the altercation, Cousins attempted to call it all a terribly-timed misunderstanding. From Jason Jones at the Sacramento Bee (via PBT and SBN ): Cousins said the elbow wasn't "really" intentional. "If you see the replay, it's really not as hard as he acted it out to be," Cousins said. "It really wasn't."
