I love how Rudy is losing it as Cousins runs back on the court.

[Bosnian Diehard]

Awesome win. Cousins played an amzing game, our bench actually produced and we made an exciting comeback. Race for eighth is wide open now.

So...just curious, how does Cousins not get ejected for what any other player gets T'd up/automatic ejection for? Is this normal hometown ref cooking for Sac town?

Tread carefully now. Going to the opposing team's board and asking if the refs gave the good ol' home cooking in Sacramento isn't the right approach here.

[Pattycakes]

It's a completely legitimate question. Do the refs at home in Sacramento give Cousins the benefit of the doubt in regards to his attitude or not? His game is sick, I'm not questioning that. I've literally watched no Kings games since Jason Thompson days, that's why I'm asking.

No, they do NOT give Cousins the benefit of the doubt -- no matter where he plays at.

Perhaps this shines a new light on the Mason Plumlee to SAC rumors of a couple years ago.

I just finished watching the game. With that video angle there is no way of saying what actually happened, but to me I think he spit the mouthpiece on purpose. When Cousins is yapping you see a lot of jaw movement, and I didn't see that there.... but, who knows

There's a fan video in the GB from behind Portland's bench and it's pretty clearly intentional.

[KF10]

Yeah, after a good night's rest and re-watching the vid (and that fan vid), Cousins probably spit out his mouthpiece out intentionally. But I kind of find it strange that the Portland's bench didn't react and the Portland announcer thought it was more of Cousins barking out at Leonard that his mouthpiece flew out. It is what it is. All I know that Cousins had a GREAT game last night to propel Kings to a W!

[SacKingZZZ]

Sure looks like it wasn't an accident. Some people can only take so many beatings I guess.

Go back and watch it again. I think Cousins might have broken Leonard's soul with the spitting of the mouthpiece. I swear he was making that face an 8 yr old makes when he wants to tell his mommy the neighbor won't stop hitting him.

Yeah, Leonard tried to get under Cousins' skin by playing like a goon all night long but I think Cousins' finally figured out how to take that "gameplan" and got said goon triggered lol In Leonard's post game interview, the guy was clearly shaken and felt the need to be self-rightousness just because some curse words were directed at him by Boogie lol. I find it funny that Leonard was full denunciation mode but all night long he was a straight up goon. I can't take Leonard seriously anymore.

[City of Trees]

"He's disrespectful" -Leonard

Damn right Boogie is! He dropped 55 on you! Coming from a Center it doesn't really get more disrespectful.

And for the record I'm ok with the mouthpiece spit. I'd rather have my guy doing that versus hiding in his locker calling Leonard a mean guy

In that postgame interview, it sounded like Leonard was ready to cry a couple times lol.
