$2500 fine for the tech, plus $180K in lost salary for the one game suspension, despite being up big with less than 10 seconds left. All that money down the drain...for mocking the referee. Idiot.

And before anyone jumps in and says the ref shouldn't have called the violation or technical foul - just remember, Cousins' rep with the refs is something he's meticulously built over the years. This is his own doing.

George Karl is the worst for that team. Idc what anyone says or how anyone feels about Sac. I tune in more than most here cause I'm a Rondo fan. GEORGE KARL IS THE PROBLEM IN SAC.

Vlade being extended is good for them.

Now -- That being said lol, that isn't Karls fault at all. Them getting T'd up & getting kicked out is them being ****. Which really, at this point, what matter does it make? Wasted season anyways. That is just those 2 idiots being asses. They were gonna sit out on the upcoming back to back anyways, so now they dont have a choice of which one with Boogie being suspended.

Re-up Rondo, fire Karl bring in some kind of coach that wants to be there & not just collect checks, get a 3&D wing & they should be much better next season. Cousins is immature yes. Rondo is a **** yes, but they have had a lot of good moments together this season & with a solid bench & WCS being better in year 2, they should be able to take a big jump.

Hire Patrick Ewing as HC. Have him bring in Charles Oakley as assistant coach. Will be funny seeing Cousins get smacked around after games.

Ewing should get a chance. Man anyone who wants to be there would be good there. Watch a Kings game lol. Karl doesn't give 1 eff. Idk maybe because being 3rd or whatever they in pace & ppg isn't good enough? Maybe because a half court set that has Boogie in the paint & not chucking 3's isn't his cup of tea? Even he talks lol. WCS get 26 the other night & he's talking about all cause ppl set him up good. Or Seth Curry talking about him not being in the league after a career high lol. Just so weird man. Even McLemore. Took steps forward last year, & this year he's starting, bench, cd dnp's, just all over. I'm telling you. Karl is such a mess. He WAS a good coach.

Yeah, those quotes about WCS basically indicate the fact that Karl is doing everything he can to get fired. Can't say that I blame him, after all of the crap he's probably put up with from Cousins.

Maybe, potentially, but maybe not.

I think this all really overblown. Golden State went home after last nights game. They're gonna be home until April 8th. That's a week over sleeping in your bed, being around your family. With no back to backs. Kerr (shoulddd) give them a day or two off during this week at home.

& Realistically, they'll win all 4, making them 72-7. (SAS will be tough, but payback for in SAS). Then they go away. Beat memphis (play everyone). Then there's a 98% chance that Pop don't play the Spurs IN san antonio, & I would rest GSW too. Who cares if it's an L. Give them the 10 (sas) & 11th off.

Last game of the season is Wed the 13th. Rest them, play them 20mpg, whatever.

My point is -- Regardless, they will get the record. & being home 31st - 8th (giving a couple prac off), resting players 1 game in San Ant. (rest 10th, 11th), pract 12th, half game 13th, film Thurs, pract Fri, Game sat or Sun -- Isn't wearing players out.

Yeah, I am guessing that stuff was put up recently rather than ongoing, but I could be wrong. However, I guess at least they have actually Stanley Cup banners up as well.

GOLDEN STATE IS GOOD ... AND LUCKY
Warriors opponents are now a combined 0-11 on potential go-ahead shots in the final 10 seconds of the 4th quarter or overtime this season.

Well...you need luck to have a season like this 8-)

Synergy Sports Tech ‏@SynergySST 42m42 minutes ago

NBA players averaging over 1.05 PTS/POS and 18 POS/G in the half court: Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, & (since 2/1) Karl-Anthony Towns.

Can we just sign Durant already? Lol.

Lue isn't even considered a person anymore:

GROW SOME BALLS. Look at what happened to Blatt when he didn't stand up for himself. Christ. On top of the blatant disrespect, I'm even more disgusted as someone who wears a suit everyday. You cannot let that **** fly.

Becky Hammon has 10000x the balls Lue and Blatt have AND she's a better coach as well.

GJ Griffin, remember when you said this?

“I’m not leaving an unprecedented team payroll and the hard work of everyone in this organization to chance.”

AU KAY.

And people say culture is overrated. What a pathetic organization. This happened in the same god damn game:

Man, if you are Cleveland management you should be sitting down with Shumpert and telling him that his action could be considered to be conduct detrimental. That is a major insult in my book because he looked right at him and threw the towel on his shoulder. The Cavs are such an easy team to root against. If Lebron ever goes into coaching it is going to be a huge wake up call for him. He has been getting by on superior athleticism and strength his whole career. If I am Lue, I am getting out of town the first chance I can in the offseason because he is going to get treated like crap if he stays.

Really disrespectful of Shump, and Lebron went too far hanging out on the sidelines after the timeout. I'm not going to lie, though, I do wish players who sat out due to injury or what have you were more involved like Lebron was in the huddle. Always made me angry when KG used to sit in the locker room. There is no reason certain leaders shouldn't be out there motivating their guys in huddles just like they would in a typical game.

That is **** up. LeBron is a great player, but without a real alpha to set the tone in the locker room his passive aggressive nature and his culture of me is a **** storm.

He has as much physical talent as any one that ever played the game, but he is, at heart, a selfish child. Unless he joins another true stars team, he will never win another championship.
