Now he's lighting it up in the 4th. 10 pts in 6 minutes on 4-5 shooting. ::shrug:: it's a compelling game though.

Watching the way Blatche is playing makes me nauseated.
Playing like the player he should have been.

Re: NBA Games Discussion Thread
One game after defeating the red-hot Wizards, the Sacramento Kings went on the road and lost to (EDITED--thanks, nuposse) MEMPHIS 69-85. Demarcus Cousins was 9-19 FG and finished with 22 points, 12 rebounds.
The rest of the Kings were 20-66 FG and all combined to score just 47 points.
--Has anyone considered that Demarcus Cousins doesn't have the best teammates?
--How good would Cousins be as a Wizard?
With Washington, DeMarcus Cousins would collectively have better teammates than he has in Sacramento.

Bye bye Beal.

I think it was Memphis they lost to. Which is kinda funny, because Memphis is a team we ought to model ourselves around IMO. Superior Bigs down low, with good low post passing and smothering wing defense. If we got Cousins I think we could easily become the grizzlies of the east.

Re: NBA Games Discussion Thread
I'm with you on Cousins, CCJ. Their point guard rotation isn't strong and I feel that's a big factor in a young big's development.
Having a point guard in Wall who (A) Cousins already knows, (B) has a great relationship/chemistry with and (C) has incredible court vision and passing ability would instantly turn Big Cuz into a 20/12/3 big with higher efficiency.

Can we really fault him for being a raptors fan growing up being that we're wizards fans?

Touche...
We are STILL Wizards fans. I am sure KD has moved on from his Raptors infatuation...

Looks as if the Seattle Supersonics may be coming (back) to an arena near you...

What a mess.
The Sonics now own the Kings history while the Thunder own the Sonics history?
Stern/Silver better step in and remedy that right away. That is redonkulous.

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

Anyway the Wiz can get dibs on the "Kings" name? Hate to see such a good name go to waste.

That'd be a little odd...we represent the "shining example of democracy" yet we embrace the idea of rooting for a bunch of Monarchs.
Washington Lobbyists seems more apt. I personally like Washington Warbirds.
