An aside from the video, the bit where he talks about being more comfortable off ball (in context here with Nelson running the offense as the PG), I just feel like it's showing more and more he's a SG who can pass but I don't see him as a real PG.
A clean, hard-nosed, fundamentally sound boxout by Smart, a foolish foul by Cousins, and a good example of the NBA's asinine technical-foul policy. Smart literally did nothing except stand up and have words with Cousins. The NBA needs to be more reasonable.
I hate the double technicals. It allows instigators to have really a lesser penalty as a result of how they call it.
Smart is a player that is going to p--- others off because he is relentless and physical. Even with bigger guys. Cousins gets really physical himself with other bigs but seems like he took offense to Smart doing it. On a clean box out.
I really like Cousins as a talent but the game today was embarrassing for him.
It seems like every time I watch Cousins he is embarrassing. He is a talented star and pretty much plays the game the right way (plays defense, passes the ball, isn't usually a ball hog). But I think Cousins is the best player in the league who I absolutely would not want on the Celtics. It makes me sick just seeing the expression on his face every time he thinks he should have gotten a foul call. And usually if he makes that expression he keeps flinging up shots and making that expression until he gets some calls. Hate it.
You should def watch more Cousins if you're a fan of the NBA in general, nothing embarrassing about dropping 30-15-5 and looking like you could be dominating even more if the team needed it. He's come a long way attitude wise since his early days as well, was a rock for USA basketball.
The Kings, and Cousins especially, are going through a really rough stretch right now - they had the rug pulled out from under them by management and are regressing, he's still playing through the lingering effects of viral meningitis, we caught them at a bad time. Guys like Duncan also think they deserve every call, but Cousins gets a lot more flack for his on court demeanor. I'd want him as the cornerstone for Boston no question, can only hope things get so bad over there that moving him starts to look like a valid option.
