That’s dumb. Did you even watch the entire game? A team loss against a very hot team in their gym.

Watched the entire game. Both teams were red hot. Moore and Holiday didn’t have a chance to finish that game off because Cousins refused to pass out of the double teams.

He was mailed on those shots and should have gotten a call, but the refs just can't call an even game anymore. It's like the NBA wants to be a 3 on 3 league with the way the refs allow legit bigs to get abused.

No, no. The team loss because cousins pouted 83.2% of the game and that in turn resulted in him not getting back on defense because his frowny muscles deterred his legy muscles from moving in an upwards manner to the other side of the court.

Cousins passed a lot out of the doubles. Some of the passes to him we're bad passes that resulted in a TO that weren't even his fault. Man you're dumb.

Thanks Dayman. I know I’m not talking out of my a-hole.

I am still very frustrated with this loss but that doesn’t excuse what I said. That’s the fricking truth and anybody who doesn’t want to admit that it’s ok.

Cousins is monster but he’s not going to take any time to the next level.

Jester, Cousins should know this by now. That’s his fault. He complains to the officials as if he gets or is supposed to get every call when in reality is is the biggest target to get calls.

That’s on Cousins. He’s a smart player but he’s he’s frustrated his IQ reaches into the negatives.

Cousins had 4 assists in the 4th quarter.

More than any player on either team.

Cousins is 3rd in the league in free throw attempts. 10 attempts behind Harden, a guy our fans think gets every call

Cousins is officiated differently.. until you realize he isn’t

He also refused to box out Capella, which he didn’t the entire game anyways.

You have to be on the same end of the court to box a guy out.

I'll continue to say it. This team needs to trade cousins at the deadline for whatever value they can get. Won't take a major dip this year, and will get some assets for when he walks in free agency.

I'm not defending his defense on Capella.

You said he wasn't passing out if double teams, which is just false.

You're just going scorched earth right now, though. Its gonna be SOMETHING with Cousins.

He's too emotional and his game reflects that. He is a dominate player who loses focus and opposing teams will use that against him to get into his head. He may very well get past this Hump one day but in his current state, I don't think he'll ever lead a team very far.

I'm not afraid of him walking in free agency. I'm afraid of him re-signing

He frustrates me now. At five years, 180 million, it will feel much worse

We had guys hot hitting from the outside, and DeMarcus is playing hero ball tossing up bad shots inside with 2-3 guys all over him.


He passed out a lot during the game.

He did earlier in the game, but not late when the game was on the line. He tried to take over. He did have a good thing going for a little while passing to E’Twuan under the basket for layups. E’Twuan has been great on the inside - I think that kind of gets lost with his quick ascent up the 3pt. % leaderboard, but he is playing a very well rounded game right now.

Cousins shot selection was questionable last night. There are times when he is completely out of control and you can see the turnover happening before it happens. There are other times when he posts up and makes his move before the double arrives, which is perfect and exactly what he should be doing. He needs to get better position, deeper in the paint, and he could get easier baskets. He relies on ISO ball too much from the outside, and although he is pretty good against other bigs outside of the paint, he really needs to limit those type of possessions. Let Holiday and Rondo break down guys, that what they get paid to do. Not Boogie. If he plays in control, he is very very good. When he plays out of control, and completely ignores the players around him that are hot, he is almost a liability. If Boogie simply plays in control, he is a load to handle. He is so talented that he plays beyond himself. He needs to simply own the paint, and be opportunistic beyond the arc. Meaning, he can take a couple 3's per game, I am OK with that. He can shoot the deep ball, just needs to limit them.
