    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    That's the beauty of it.

    And besides, If it was done by someone like Andrew Bogut (who is a bigger arsehole than Cousins) then no one would say it's wrong\immature of him, people just don't like Boogie's thug face.

    Obviously Marc Gasol just did the same thing to Biebs.

    I like to watch winning basketball, but at the same time I want to also know the players are good teammates and people.


    I love Cousins' talent, but I'd find it hard to welcome him to this team with the problems he's had.

    This team used to have an edge, and maybe people forget but that was the last time that we were actually any good.

    Yeah I'll be interesting what Cousins does on a better team if he ever ends up on one but I don't think I want that experiment here.

    I certainly wouldn't give up CJ or Dame for him. I don't see Sacramento trading him unless they get a bounty which I wouldn't want us to give up so doubt that happens. I guess I'd sign him as a free agent in two summers because that would have virtually no cost and he'd always be tradeable if it didn't work but otherwise I don't see any way we could or should bring him here.

    They were good because they had talent; Webber, Divac, Peja, Bibby, Turkoglu, Bobby Jackson, Doug Christie, Gerald Wallace, Scott Pollard. That team was loaded.

    Now they have a bunch of ball hogs like Gay, stat whores like Rondo and draft busts like McLemore all starting. Their run by the worst management in sports.
