I understand issues where injury or personal matters prevent a player from attending a game when he’s not playing. It doesn’t really matter much to me that Cousins wasn’t there.

However, I do find it very interesting how some players stay away from their teams when there the injury doesn’t prevent them to do so. They’re employees of the team making insane amounts of money, don’t see why it’s a problem for them to attend the team’s games. I don’t think it matters too much with Boogie, but matters much more in cases like Kawhi Leonard. If you’re paying the guy $20 mil a year and he’s medically cleared to play, he should at the very least be at the arena.

Not gonna lie, after reading the post title, I immediately thought this was one of those fake fans who pretend their fans, but don't know a thing about the team besides the best player's name. I was about to flame the hell out of you if you didnt know Boogie was injured.

Carry on,

All I know is if Cousins walks out on to the court in New Orleans before any playoff game this season, the arena will become electric

Save that moment for a big game

Your concern about exclamation points is about the weirdest thing going on this board.

I'm pretty sure someone has taken over your account somewhat recently. You've gone full SJW about a million times more than I ever did, so that's a real hot take coming from you.



But hey, tell us all more about your thoughts on Boogie maybe not being all in, I'm sure Pels talk is dying to here it.

Cause it’s one of the weirdest, childish, passive aggressive defense mechanisms I see on here. It’s become comical shel, I don’t even think you realize you are doing it most of the time. You think you’re booming people but everyone is laughing at you

Yea, your coach says publicly you can’t travel because of your injury yet you’re flying to a music festival, & you think that’s a good look? Lol.

Dont really care if he legitimately cannot make the game. So be it. That’s fair. But to show up your coach like that and not want to be at the game for your teammates is weak, when clearly you could have been. Has Cousins even sniffed the playoffs before? No. Does he plan to re-sign here next year? Seems like it. Why not show support?

You realize it’s far more likely that the reason he isn’t cleared to fly to Portland is both length of flight and altitude of flight as compared to the puddle jump to Indio? Longer flights and higher altitudes increase probability of blood clots, which is why he has to be cleared to fly in the first place.

As opposed to him lying to Alvin and the team about not being able to fly, and then being brazen enough to showcase being in a plane on social media, when literally a week ago he showed up to our playoff clinching win

Gentry never said that

It was a shite job by Nola.com in misrepresenting

This was the quote from shootaround:

quote:

I don't know yet. I know that he's trying to get here and he's trying to convince the, you know, the medical people that he can travel here. So, it would be great to have him here because as I said the other day, you know, he's been a real big part of this also and to just have him here would be great for the guys and great for him also."


quote:

I hope so. It all depends on if they'll let him travel or not. I talked to him yesterday. Obviously I told him we would like to have him here because he's a big part of this also."


Credit to mythrol on PR

Gentry talked about getting cleared to travel here(i.e. Portland)

Its good to mourn for a while.
Feel the loss.
Maybe get into other more personal abandonment issues.

My own first great sports abandonment: The entire A's team left Philadelphia.

An exclamation point?


Obsessing on punctuation AGAIN, so strange. What is wrong with you? Also funny that an exclamation point is crossing this mythical line you dreamed up but you using emoticons and dropping F bombs to make your points is totally different, right LE? Not the same at all, sweet logic.

You've legit lost any sense of reality around these boards, it's pretty funny to watch. You're literally the only person who has expressed that opinion. Not 1 person has ever posted about this little thing you've completely made up. Yea, I'm sure everyone else is just keeping that opinion to themselves, makes complete sense right?

You look foolish right now.

Boogie needs to get invested like LE!!!! Oh no, exclamation points, here comes an LE meltdown!!!



Like I said before, it feels like someone legitimately stole your account with the about face you've done in recent weeks, it's entirely strange.
