He's given Lee quite a few open jumpers tonight because he doesn't get out and contest.

The biggest problem i have with Love's defense is his terrible hedging. He does it well sometimes, but definitely not all the time. No idea why you cant do it all the time since its not hard...
He'll get benched ASAP if he takes forced shots though. I actually think that WIlliams has played a pretty good game so far

There's a heat check and then a terrible drive. Derrick Williams!

He decided to prove it further
Millsap looks like he's going to break out of his slump and Kanter looked like he had a pulse for the first time in a while. Bad games from Favors and Hayward.

Love still isnt gelling
And we cant shoot worth shit. I think the only player who has made an outside shot is Derick Williams...
Excellent
you're not serious are you?
No wonder you think Moris' jokes are funny.
I've been on the bandwagon since day one. Feels good man
Found that one too:
Softest ejection ever:

KG would be ejected every single game if he got the same treatment DMC does..
lol that doesn't show the tech to get him ejected
They were both on the same play iirc, first for the soft ball slap, then for arguing the tech.
If DMC got ejected for that, the Referee should be fined.
And i'm quite serious.
Thats terrible, just ridiculous.
slapping the ball away from someone after a whistle is blown will get you a tech.
yelling in the face of a ref will get you a tech.
It was weak but dude should have known better.
If the offense gets continuation calls, why shouldn't the defense play through it as well?
He should have known better than to say anything given the way refs treat him, if I were him I'd only communicate with refs through a third party
Might even show up to games with one of those hannibal lector masks on..
he's the only 'big name' that isn't a bitch, well him and Z-Bo.
doesn't fit the whole "Be a soft ass bitch" the league is trying to push. they've been lucky with Z-Bo for the past few years. 1. He's been injured a lot and 2. He plays in Memphis..they get so little media coverage i don't even think people in Tennessee get to see them

Cousins is pretty soft, he's just overly emotional so he looks "tough" (or "insane") sometimes.
I understand what DMC did may have necessitated a tech, but fuck it, the league needs more of him. He's got a fired up energy that clashes with the league's attempted image, and I love it. It occasionally gets in the way of his game, but I admire his tenacity. Plus, it's not like gets in trouble off the court (not sure here, can anyone clarify?).
So he got the tech for yelling at the ref? I really don't know what the tech was for there

But this is a lot of the problem with how people view Cousins. He's a throwback in style so the major issues he has are ignored. His inability to control emotion? Toughness! His terrible decision making and inability to get to easy shots? Skill! His inability to protect the rim at all? Who cares, he's big and has post moves (even though they don't work)! I think there's too much 90s worship going on with how Cousins is viewed. Cousins' style isn't effective in today's NBA.
But yeah, shouldn't have been an ejection.
Also, he's pretty lazy on the court most of the time so I'm not sure tenacity is the word to use.
The first tech was for the play you see there. The second tech was for complaining about the first tech.
It's because people enjoy a more physical game. It doesn't have to be violent, but in a league that coddles stars and effectively admits that they officiate the game differently based on who you are, it's refreshing to see a young player buck that trend. Yeah, it may not be effective, but if that means learning how to flop, kissing refs asses, and playing emotionless basketball, then fuck that.

I don't mind if people prefer it, but I think people have really started to overrate Cousins because he plays a style they want to see more of instead of judging his actual ability.
Also, he's a flopper.
