Mad respect.

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge Cousins throwing a basketball at you.

Haha. That's awesome.

I don't know why some people hate Boogie. I love the guy.

He apparently REALLY dislikes Chris Paul, which makes him alright in my book.

LOL

We need this guy.

Perhaps because of stunts like this:

Thats great. CP3 is one of the great point guards of the last 15 years but man I cannot stand him since he joined the clippers. All the whining and the heliflopter he does all the time.

Wow, when was this? Absolutely hilarious. Did Cousins get whistled for a foul on that?

It happened March 19, 2013. I remember watching this game and I don't believe Cousins was called for a foul, if my memory serves me correctly.

No, he wasn't called, and he shot Boogie a smile like, "I'll get you next time punk."

Can't stand him since he punched Julius Hodge in the nuts in the ACC tournament. And why I was always semi-ok with Martell.

And I fully recognize my Wookee-level scruples in that statement...

 

[Eastoff]

With Kobe retiring, is cp3 taking on the less annoying throne of hated LA presence?

Haha! that's really great!
"We don't shake hands with punks, get over here".

The only thing that will make me respect him more is if he'll spit in Doc Rivers' face.

What a great guy.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Wow. This stuff raised my curiosity level about Cousins now. but Im not sure we need him looking at the long term projection of our current bigs. It would be nice to get him it would could steal him for cheap, but not willing to gut the team for him. Not yet anyhow.

 

[BBert]

The Blazers would flat rock with Cousins in the middle, if we didn't have to give up anything major for him. Unfortunately that big IF is a brick wall.

So is his (and I use the term loosely) "brain."

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I (like everyone else) loves it when Chris Paul gets his just desserts. I can't stand the guy.

My problem with the video though is those trying to say that Cousins was merely trying to save the ball before falling out of bounds. That is not the case. He was not going to fall out of bounds. He did it on purpose. Which is fine, or even cool! But don't try to make it something it isn't. It is chickenshit and trying to not get fined or something.

Lol Thomas look so disappointed that he can't shake CP58's hand

Watch the video again
1) CP undercuts Boogie, in an obvious foul, no foul called.
2) The foul makes Boogie skip to keep balance, no traveling called.
3) Boogie is disgusted, and rightfully so. So, he throws the ball at Chris Paul.
4) Refs don't call tech, just out on CP.

Yes, that is how I see it. That isn't how most on the interwebs are playing it off though. They are trying to defend Cousins' actions on a bogus claim that he was going to fall out of bounds if he didn't do it when he doesn't even need defending in the first place. He didn't do much (if any) wrong.

The little bitch didn't even flop after that!

Last time we played the Kings, Meyers Leonard did the same to Cousins in the same place under the basket. Cousins came up with his fist clenched and arm cocked. But the referee called the foul on Leonard and Cousins immediately regained his poise.

Actions like this continue to show the immaturity of Cousins and help highlight why he has never made the playoffs in Sacramento. This is exactly why I would prefer an al Horford over a Demarcus cousins on this team.

 

[selloutking]

He just needs to NOT be THE leader
luckily for us, we have a great leader
I would love to have a CP3 hater here

In a super-weird coincidence, my brother-in-law is one of the guys behind CP3 there...

That is a completely legal play.

 

[Natebishop3]

That is a completely legal play.

I thought throwing the ball with the intention of hurting someone was a tech.

Example:

Call it what you want he was on his way out of bounds. The ball is still in play. Comparing that to the Barkley play is comparing apples/oranges.
