    Nope. There was an actual foul. He was hit in the face (marginally). She didn't put a whistle on it. Then realized he was fouled. It was about 7 seconds to late.

    I agree with you every time you post but this is where we'll part ways.

    Damian Lillard is every bit as good a leader as LeBron and winning cures everything.

    I don't know about Dame's leadership, but I tend to agree with "winning cures everything". With Cousins, though? I'm not sure. I look at his track record and he misses a lot of games. He doesn't get along with coaches or, as far as I can tell, many teammates.

    It's POSSIBLE that if he goes to a good team then he might calm down... or he might keep doing the same stuff when things don't quite go his way. He's 26 years old and very well might be what he is.

    In terms of what he is: he's good, but he's a shoot-first guy who has been drifting to the perimeter and doesn't block shots. I don't know.

    I guess it all comes down to the acquisition price.

    So now 26 year old kids (kids to me) are irredeemable? I disagree.

    Coleangelo spoke highly of his Team USA time. Anyone hear anything good or bad from the other players?

    Like Ron Ron and Angry Rus, you just can't coach crazy...pun intended.

    It's even worse than that. His issues go back to at least college, and losing definitely wasn't to blame then.

    he came up clutch last night with a game winning lay up and 1 opportunity, but for some reason, the ref called the foul on him and it was his 6th. that shit was messed up.

    Where is Dougnsalem? A search shows that he was posting several times per day, right up to his last post above, 1 month ago today. I hope he's not in jail.

    Exactly what I was going to say. Emotion is fine, especially since the team leader, Dame, is cool and calm. But the raging at coaches and quitting - do we want that? I'm not saying no, I'm just saying proceed with caution. High risk needs to be high reward.

    Tag him so the next time he logs in he sees that you were asking about him.

    The rebar and concrete in the overpass could be blocking his nearest WiFi signal.

    Seriously, hope he's OK.

    Joke's probably on us and he's taking his annual winter migration to the Cayman's

    I take it the point is that you can be a good player and still appear in pictures looking like a whiner (or even BE a whiner).
    But another similarity: we have about as much chance of landing Cousins as we do of landing LeBron.

    No. Here's what IS true:
    Is Davis likely to be traded (especially given that they've got him under contract for a while)? Absolutely not.
    Is DMC likely to be traded? Possibly. (I actually think a lot less likely than most of this board seems to. The owner loves him, he hasn't dissed Sacramento (which in itself is amazing), and he's basically their only decent player.)

    But the likelihood of being traded is VERY different from the likelihood of US getting him.

    i dont give a fuck about telling refs what they can go do to themselevs. they deserve it. the only issue i have is as a blazers you get a target on your back. i think he would foul out in 12 minutes every game and probably average .5 techs a game like the great rasheed wallace, simply for speaking his mind.

    Where did you get "likely" from anything in the post to which you were replying? I believe he said "maybe". Nothing you stated contradicts that.
