    Napier's hero shot not withstanding, the game feels closer than it should.

    Cousins seems to be the only player that Meyers is able to play physically with--every other player Meyer barely touches them and it's a foul. But with Cousins Meyers is allowed to be extremely physical. Don't think the refs really like Cousins.

    I think we all know that one good night Meyers had against him was just Meyers being Meyers. 1 in 10 games he shows flashes of what he could be, but I don't think even he knows how he is able to pull it off on those nights and thus can never reliably replicate it.

    Which is another reason not to touch Cousins. Refs would fuck him over hard if he played for us and with his temper, he'd be ejected at Sheed-like rates.

    Weird. Napier is so small but he seems to do this weird thing called try on defense and doesnt look half bad

    Harkless has ideal size and athleticism to be a lock down defender, but I question his instincts.

    Eh--he still gets his numbers. He'd do really well with CJ and Dame.

    Damn, a boot? Thanks for the update, and please pardon my laziness for not looking it up myself if it was already posted.

    That would be my #1 strategy against him until he proves he's more than a very talented, but spoiled child.

    FWIW, and it's not a lot, but I'll never get the Cousins love. I don't watch Kings games unless they're playing us, and based on that (and some Olympic stuff), I really don't like his game, and I think he's very weak minded. I'm pretty sure I saw a thread here (that I didn't read) about trading dame for Cousins.....whoever the OP was....are you out of your fucking mind?
