DeMarcus Cousins doesn't respect Clips, calls them cheaters

The guy is talented as hell, but I hate how whiny he is. He's Rasheed Wallace reincarnated.

Cousins maintains a rivalry with the Clippers, and Paul in particular. “It’s just, some players I don’t respect,” Cousins said. “Just their playing style of basketball. I don’t respect it. I feel like it’s basically cheating and I don’t respect a cheater. If that’s your tactic to winning, I don’t respect you.”

Seems like a personal thing with Paul. Hopefully the All-star game starting snub and this gets Paul coming back with a MVP type run.

^^^
Charles Barkley didn't have Paul in his ASG...hopefully he doesnt get exxed out for a combo of like Harden and Parker.

who cares what Cousins thinks?
anybody co-signing this talking about our "flopping" hasn't watched us play since 2012.
there's nothing to talk about on that end.

if you get upset that Paul works the refs and manages the entire game?...get over it.
it's better than always watching you put ur hands on ur head, fume at mouth, complain, whine, beetch, moan after a call doesnt go your way EVEEN WHEN IT'S OBVIOUS IT'S THE RIGHT CALL!

Cousins is a talented dude, but still a knucklehead. Cousins has been amongst the leaders in drawn charges, so you know that he flops. He's also had some pretty egregious ones, so it's like the pot calling the kettle black.

I don't care if he doesn't like somebody, that's his prerogative. That's not an excuse to be a butthole though. The incident where he didn't allow Isaiah Thomas to shake hands was silly, but that's not really what pissed me off. He was pretty much responsible for JJ getting injured and missing 5-6 weeks by shoving him while he was airborne. JJ goes up to him afterward to basically say all is well, no hard feelings. Cousins shuns him off like a jackass. I can't respect that. Anybody co-signing his behavior in that specific incident is pretty pathetic themselves.

Cousins needs to talk less. dude can flat out ball, and i think he would benefit from having a solid veteran big to teach him how to act.

I understand what you are saying about Cousins, but the Sheed comparison is off base, as Sheed was always known as a good teammate and was never dirty player like Cousins (Sheed's main quarrels were with the refs, not other players)

Cousins' teammates like him and I wouldn't call him a dirty player at all...

If he hates flopping should stop himself.

I guess Cousins doesn't like us, and he still needs to grow up. I was hoping that he would mature and stop being a bonehead.

That Paul flop was pretty overboard lol compared to most.

He's an absolute stud talent wise but he really needs to mature.
He is still young so I won't hate too much for now
