I know he puts up good numbers. I know he helps our team. But god damn watching that dude play basketball is excruciating to me.

He's either taking errant threes or barreling into a defender looking for a foul. And when he doesn't get a call he is the last player down the floor every freaking time.

Is it really too much to ask these guys to play hard more than once every 3 games?

He’s played 6 out of the last 7 games. Way to upvote yourself too.

I kind of hate his playing style as well, in the same way that I hate Harden's. But for the most part, his "drive and throw up a bad shot" usually ends one of two ways - either he makes the bad shot or he gets fouled and makes the free throws. I much rather watch AD's style of play, but in the end I enjoy having Boogie right there with AD. And when Boogie is on, he's on - and he's on 90% of the time. The whole flopping/complaining to the refs, and looking like he isn't having fun out there does irk me though. But in his defense he practically gets assaulted damn near every play.

This is the only part that frustrates me about his game. There are times where the team is playing 4 on 5 because he's taking his sweet arse time giving the refs nasty arse looks rather than getting back on defense because he didn't get a call.

What ticks me off is big like cousins don't get the whistle like they should. Mo was all over him and nothing on two drives

Lester will be here shortly and you two can take turns patting each other on the back while your gripe about one of the only 2 or 3 bright spots about our team.

Don't forget the offensive fouls where Augustin literally just ran into him and flopped off him without him moving or the one where Speights had his arm hooked. Those took Boogie out of the game. Not an excuse, but shortly after he gave up a frustration foul on defense.

Hes immature.

No space on life.

A different coach might make a difference but he will follow a shiny object to a big city. Will not be a pel long. Contract expires end of season.
Wasted buddy and #1 pick.
Even if make playoff his fouls, tantrums and attitude will torpedo team when it counts the most.
Ps i love his passing.
Who is going to tame him?

I am not a Cousins fan either, but... wasted Buddy??

Buddy sucks. Zach Collins (the 10th pick we gave up) has a better chance at making a difference than Buddy

Your golden boy is having a pretty rough sophomore year as well. His shooting splits are actually worse than Buddy's despite having back to back 20 point games. I actually really like both players, just pointing it out.

All I want is an efficient boogie night in and night out.

I'm not going to get blinded by triple doubles when he's leading the team in TOs or if he's going 2/10 from 3 in the process

Dude shot 38% last night with 7 TO a few days after that monster game in Sac. Speights was open all night and his 3pt shooting cost us the game. How do you as a fan accept that? It doesn't always have to be that good but The pels need more consistency or they will be stuck in this rut all season.

Sitting a few rows up on that side of the court, noticed Davis disappeared late and left Speights open long enough to get open,once he got on a roll,ballgame.

The team in general seem to be frustrated from the ticky tac fouls Orlando was getting, although the Magic were the aggressive ones late.

The gaping hole at the 3 is killing the rotation.

The offense dies when the team is gassed. Rondo will help with that and control Boogie.

I hope this is the case as well. You could see towards the end of a timeout 4 of the 5 guys on the court were huddled around Rondo listening to him in a suit. He definitely has the attention and respect of this team.

Because one of the most talented bigs in the game thinks he's a point guard.

I'm not denying his talent. Just hate how he uses it.

Yeah, not like he just became the third player ever to have go 40/20 & triple-double back-to-back.

fricking slacker.

He had a terrible, lazy game for sure. His post game comments are what needed to be said, though. Gives me some optimism

I really hope this board doesn’t turn into the Boogie Bash Board every time we lose. It’s getting old already. Some people just have a hard on for their dislike of the guy. It’s really dumb.
