Kings vs Rockets

[City of Trees]

With Denver and Detroit tanking away recently, we needed this loss, but I would have at least preferred it to be...at least close.

cant call for tanking but then complain about the way they lose.

Releasing Jimmer to play McCallum and trading Thornton to play McLemore are moves to develop your future but, currently, those are tanking moves. We got worse. Tanking doesnt happen at the player level, it happens at the FO level. PDA has mailed in this season and is developing players for next. Honestly an outburst like this from Cousins isnt that surprising knowing how much he hates to lose. I fully expect for Cuz to pick up another tech here in the near future and receive a one game suspension.

You can't put all the blame at the fo with the way cuz acts... cuz has to take responsibilities and control his emotions. .. jordan kobe shaq and etc hate to lose as well..but they didn't go ape s*** and used loosing as an excuse to have the right to go nuts ...

To people thinking that winning at this time helps..well in a way it does for the morale of the players.. but it also doesn't help the team in the long run since I think this team is still not built as a balanced team "still too many flaws" from the previous regime and the new regime that wanted to win right away pieces that don't really fit the team or hindered the flexibility of the team moving forward. ..

establishing a winning culture >>>>>>>>> tanking

Normally I would agree and even before the All-Star break I was 100% behind that statement, but this team needs talent so badly that we can't miss on this draft. We have literally thrown away our picks from the last 3 drafts. Just think about how good this team would have been if we hit on ONE of those picks.

The draft is a gamble. This one won't be any different. This team has talent, the one common thread with this team for the last 3 drafts is that this team doesn't make any sense on paper or off. A singular draft will not change that.

How long are we going to have to wait for Ben to look like an NBA player?

Rap fan. But he looks absolutely turrible. I thought he'd be much better. I thought he was an underrated pick for you guys.

Doesn't have to look good, just like some semblance of an nba player

He's raw, this is what raw rookies look like who have had very little chance to even do some of the things they are capable of. Just not a team that can find a ton of chances for an offensively minded SG to grow. You have 3 of the highest usage players in the league, you can waive everyone at McLemores position, it won't change the fact that on a good night he'll get 10 looks at most.

“Let me just be honest,” Cousins said. “A lot of technicals I receive aren’t (deserved). So I really can’t say what I can do different. Maybe just not show up for the game. I really can’t answer that question.”

Should we be worried?

Nah it is better to have a big man with fire, than a pushover.

Besides he will chill more with age and success.

Be worried if he does not care or feel passionate any more.

I like Cousins' passion but dude really needs to know how to channel that into positive when he about to go berserk. Instead of imploding, he should use that to motivate himself into even more better play against his opponents imo.

I'll be harder on him next season. As bad as we are I think he has been an angel compared to how he could be.

Now he's starting to turn his aggression towards other players. One good lump on the side of his head and he'll learn. He's lucky Pekovic didn't turn him inside out that one time. hahaha.

There has been plenty of players like him in the NBA, some of whom have won a ring or two. Problem is, with this "new" NBA, can he survive? For crying out loud Sheed use to get like 50 techs in a good year, haha.
