DeMarcus Cousins historic night goes unnoticed

[slightly biased bias fan]

Like most I didn't watch Sacramento vs New Orleans, but after watching the highlights...WOW!

In yet another losing effort Boogie went off for 24 points, 20 rebounds and a career-high 13 assists, he also blocked four shots (his second triple double in a row).

But browsing through most sports sites, he performance gets barely a mention. Matter of fact this stupid India player got more coverage than Boogie.

And what makes this massive triple double performance even greater is the last person to go back to back 20-20-10 games was Wilt Chamberlain in 1968!

This guy deserves so much better then the current Sacramento owner and the team around him, I hope he finds himself in a better situation sooner because his career might get lost too.

Hmm...carousel of coaches - Check.

All-Star Big Man with enormous talent? - Check.

Very good numbers but gets little notice because of team? Check.

Shrewd, intelligent GM in BOS with a ton of picks and options? Check.

[Roy H.]

The first guy since Wilt to have 20 / 20 / 10 back-to-back.

According to basketball-reference, the only guy since at least the 80s to have a 20/20/10 game with 6+ blocks (last game).  (Update:  Duncan did this once in a playoff game.)

He's had three straight 20 / 20 games, two of them against Anthony Davis.

Dude is on such an awful team 

[Clench123]

Yet some Celtcs fans don't want this guy on our team.  smh #palmface

Yep...just like KG and 2007-08............

cousins is one of the very few players in the nba that the celtics should give virtually anything to get. the problem is the celtics may not have enough to get him in a trade.

unless he forces his way off that team (can you say "KG") he wont be here until 2018-19 since he is signed through 2017-18.  his contract is incredibly reasonable given the talent and age. i hope the celtics can get him and still have enough talent to make a good team.

Yeah I think he has put himself in the untradeable category with Davis and Lebron.

Have to say one thing .  Boogie way more loyal than most stars would have been at this point.

I think even I would have bolted that city by now, if not for just a change of scenery .

He is in a bad marriage and needs to leave.

I think the thing that amazes me about bougie is that he put up superstar numbers without elite or above average vertical leap. All his point are under the rim except from the fast break. Shaq for example was taller than Cousins and had exceptional standing vert.

Agreed, Boogie needs to force himself out, and join BOS.

Yeah, he's had these for several years now and his team has invariably been awful. Go figure.

His starting lineup last night was Ray MacCallum, Ben McLemore, Omri Casspi, and Carl Landry.

McLemore is the only one who should be in an NBA rotation right now.
