By reilo Go To PostYea, weird:I blame the SacBee
I'm sure it wasn't their fault though, pushing assistants and such.
By blackace Go To PostI blame the SacBeeI can't believe the SacBee would attack assistant coaches like that.
By reilo Go To PostThe only 10 that matters is the years it's been since Sacramento made the playoffs.
More like another 10 years till they get winning season again.
Remember it took them over 20 years to even get a winning season with the Vlade/Webber/Williams era? You all took that for granted. Cursed.
Yah Wade grabbed him but Cousins has to be nun and he's gotta know that.
Also, everyone knew the ball was going to him and you need some better action on that inbounds play.
Still came back from 27 down. Such a weird team.

No, he has to be a nun. There's a double standard for him and he just has to accept it.
Let's consider the calls Wade gets and the final call of that previous Bulls game versus Wade committing an obvious grab here.
Look, the league isn't legit and has not been 100% legit for a long time. We all, on some level, know this. Cousins is stuck in the irreconcilable position of wanting it to be legit and realizing it's not. He came in with a rep, that started in High School, and there's better press moola in sticking to that then anything. He's a hot head in a period of robots. He'd be unexceptional 25 years ago but is a whipping boy now. It is what it is.
He is both treated unfairly and over-emotional. In any other context and line of work, the league would be guilty of victim-blaming. However, it's sports and that's how we roll here.

So you're telling us, if Wade shoved an assistant coach he would've gotten away with it? K.
Also rofl at "victim blaming" 😂😂😂😂😂

So the NBA is to blame that he is a whiner and a dirty player?
Not really following the legit thing... DMC acts like only he deserves to have a reaction...
If he is in a corner he painted himself into it.
Wade flops and grabs all off that is part of the game... if the refs called everything exactly as it's written then he'd get more techs.
He is so talented it's a damn shame to see him waste it by playing the heel

He is both treated unfairly and over-emotional. I can admit to that and have so many times. You can't come around on the unfairly part because ..?

In any other line of work, if you go after a guy in a suit and shove him you're fired on the spot with no recommendation.
That doesn't apply. This isn't an office job. Coach is backing out other players. I'm not arguing the tech.
edit: maybe you're smart enough to get this; the money is in Cousins exploding and not in him succeeding.

AI was was too fast they let players handcheck him... Shaq too...
it's how players handle it and he painted that target on himself by his actions...
By etiolation Go To Postedit: maybe you're smart enough to get this; the money is in Cousins exploding and not in him succeeding.so this doesn't mean he is a problem?
I saw Chuck, Shaq, Kobe, KG, etc be assholes with refs. I see Wade act like the refs are his Broadway chorus. I see Westbrook and Draymond be assholes with refs.
I see the Kings come back from 27 down and everything is about a coach backing into Barnes and Cousins, and everything is about Cousins.
Like I know Cousins shouldn't have done that but I also know the reaction is because you're all schmucks, too.

I ain't going to be too many more schmucks in here. If you can't deal with how most people view the situation just logout for a bit

YOU'RE the guy who made the "in any other line of work" remark!
edit: maybe you're smart enough to get this; the money is in Cousins exploding and not in him succeeding.
Dude. I don't know how many ways this can be broken down for you. It's not the league. It's not the Templars. It''s not even the shadowy cabal behind the Sacramento Bee. You're rooting for a jerk who just happens to be good at basketball. It happens.
Ok lets talk about Kings and not just Cousins.
They just lost at home to a Butler-less Bulls and are competing for a bottom 3 record in the West.

And they beat the Warriors on a back to back. The Kings issues, other than talent and injuries, is that I don't think their optimizing what they have. The other is that some of the team only shows up for good teams.
The question is whether not putting Boogie on the block right away is a Cousins thing or a coaching thing. The other is that Barnes plays way too many minutes. Even when Temple was healthy, this was an issue. That last inbound was as easy to read as Dick and Jane.

By pilonv1 Go To PostCept Ty is going home to get drunk.
Ty Lawson the voice of reason
BTW, the better question isn't why did DMC push the assistant coach.
The correct question is, why is the opposite teams assistant coach touching cousins?
Dude should be getting fined / demoted for that shit. No legitimate reason for him to be touching the opposition teams player at all there.

By blackace Go To Posthe stepped inbetween players and got bumped then pushed…He went to make contact with cousins and impede his path when cousins made no threatening gesture at all towards his players.
Dude should be lucky he wasn't shoved into the first row of seats. And fined for the luxury of it.
Cousins has built his rep around the league. Aint no two ways about that. And he shouldn't have shoved the guy. He'll get fined for that.
But that coach should face serious reprimand for the bull shit too. He had no justification for being there and looking to impede / make contact what so ever.
By giririsss Go To PostHe went to make contact with cousins and impede his path when cousins made no threatening gesture at all towards his players.his back was turned to DMC but ok..

By blackace Go To Posthis back was turned to DMC but ok..
Ahuh.
By giririsss Go To PostAhuh.It was getting heated before DMC got there with Rondo and Barnes.. When play is stopped he can impede players.. he didn't lay hands on him.. he got bumped into him. Now it is possible that DMC felt different but at some point he has to realize that he is a 300 lbs peak athlete and can't just shove people because they are in his way. If the league punished the ast coach, I wouldn't have an issue but they don't really have a rule in place for that yet.. so maybe this will make it happen
Coaches intervene and act as mediators all the time. The assistant did nothing that deserves a shove.
By giririsss Go To PostAhuh.
He wasn't even looking at DMC and was clearly trying to block players from having a chance at going at each other, but sure lol.
Why was DMC going towards the situation anyway? He's a fucking moron that's why.
How many times are people gonna give DMC a pass when it's really clear that he's a giant asshole? He can't go a month without incident and it's really wild that it's always the other parties fault.
