DeMarcus Cousins Went Supernova On The Hornets In One Of The Best Games Of The Season
While the entire NBA world was watching the Warriors bring a holy whooping down on the Tim Duncan-less Spurs last night, the Sacramento Kings and the Charlotte Hornets played one of the very best games of the season, a 129-128 Hornets win in double overtime. It sort of made perfect sense that they’d...
DeMarcus Cousins Cooked And Ate The Pacers Last Night
Oh hey, look at that, the Kings have won five in a row over pretty decent competition. Willie Cauley-Stein has been a perfect fit at center, and since he’s moved into the starting lineup, Sacramento is 9-3. But really, it all starts and ends with Boogie. He’s leading the NBA in scoring and reboundin...
DeMarcus Cousins Had A Good Time With A Heckler
While wrapping up a 33-point, 19-rebound destruction of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Kings center DeMarcus Cousins had a little chat with a heckler in the OKC crowd. ...
God Damn It, Kings
Two nights ago, all that stood between the Sacramento Kings and a virtual spot in the playoffs was a home game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It was as much a gimme as you’ll see this side of Philadelphia. Portland was missing Damian Lillard and playing on the second night of a back-to-back; th...
DeMarcus Cousins's Manager Ejected For Swiping At Jason Terry
Rockets guard Jason Terry got into an altercation with a fan during the third quarter of tonight’s game against the Sacramento Kings. Terry’s momentum carried him into the crowd after attempting to defend a Ben McLemore dunk, and he put his hands out to brace himself. The fan he touched in doing so,...
Supremely Fed Up DeMarcus Cousins Is Now Taking It Out On His Opponents
In a now annual tradition, the relationship between DeMarcus Cousins and his coach is deteriorating. There were reports earlier in the week that George Karl was on the chopping block, but it now appears that the two are committed to trying to patch things up. That being said, these are the Kings and...
Hey, Cool, DeMarcus Cousins Shoots Threes Now
One of the fun things about the beginning of the NBA season is taking stock of the various new wrinkles that players have added to their games. Sometimes this means marveling at Kevin Durant’s new one-legged turnaround jumper, and sometimes it means being delighted by Boogie Cousins launching threes...
Report: George Karl Could Lose His Job By The End Of The Week
The Sacramento Kings started getting close to the edge of a bottomless pit this past offseason, but the last few days have seen them take a few more crucial steps towards oblivion. Yesterday brought us a morose DeMarcus Cousins talking about “issues in house,” and today brings word that George Karl ...
The Sacramento Kings Are Starting To Show Some Cracks
It’s actually surprising that it took all of eight games for the Sacramento Kings, a team that spent the offseason doing whatever it could to claim the Most Dysfunctional Franchise award, to start experiencing some internal drama. But we’re finally starting to get down into the shit, with DeMarcus C...
George Karl Met DeMarcus Cousins And It Was Suuuuuuper Awkward
Sometimes the universe is good to us, like when it brings us video of George Karl and DeMarcus Cousins meeting at a Summer League game—for what is likely the first time since Karl began doing everything in his power to alienate his team’s only star player—and allowing us to bask in the incredible aw...
Report: Increasingly Desperate Kings Are Trying To Lure John Calipari
We didn’t think it was possible for the Sacramento Kings to become a bigger mess than they already are, and yet here’s a new report from Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski, which pulls back the curtain on a spectacularly broken franchise....
The Kings Are Such A Mess Right Now
Big question for tonight’s draft telecast: will ESPN cut away if news breaks that Sacramento’s owner, coach, and best player are all brawling in an alley?...
The Kings Are Screwed No Matter What Happens To DeMarcus Cousins
Things are happening quickly. On Monday, Yahoo reported that new Kings coach George Karl is looking to ship DeMarcus Cousins out of town. (Crazy!) On Tuesday, ESPN reported that Kings owner Vivek Ranadive will not allow Karl to trade Sacramento’s stunningly talented young center. (Rational!) With th...
George Karl Apparently Wants DeMarcus Cousins Gone, Is Crazy
Last night, Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski dropped a bomb, reporting that Sacramento Kings head coach George Karl, who’s had his job for about 45 minutes, is doing everything he can to convince the rest of the organization that All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins needs to be traded away as soon as po...
Boogie Cousins And John Wall Put On A Show; Some Team Also Won I Guess
A point guard and a center generally can't duel in the way we usually think of players dueling—directly, one-on-one, attacking each other at both ends. Apart from the occasional defensive switch or confrontation at the rim, they'll mostly compete from a distance, and indirectly, via their teams an...
Do Not Try And Take A Charge From DeMarcus Cousins
If you look closely, you can see Jae Crowder regret his decision to try and take a charge from a DeMarcus Cousins with 94 feet of built-up momentum, and begin to lean away to the side. Unfortunately, that doesn't prevent him from getting a knee to his chest, or the ball viciously dunked on his head....
Charles Barkley Doesn't Give A Shit About Propriety On Live TV
Charles Barkley is always going to say whatever he wants to say, live TV and censors be damned. For some reason he objects to the idea that the Kings would discuss their head coaching position with DeMarcus Cousins—I'm not sure why the Kings wouldn't want to talk with their maximum contract star a...
After Making Game-Winner, DeMarcus Cousins Goes Off
The Sacramento Kings have been a prominent subject of the NBA rumor mill lately because of reports that they are considering firing head coach Ty Corbin and hiring George Karl to replace him. DeMarcus Cousins has gotten roped into these stories, with multiple reports that he is against the Karl hiri...
What In The World Was DeMarcus Cousins Thinking On This Inbounds?
Did he think he was on offense? Did he think the Warriors were shooting on the other basket? Did he think the ball was being inbounded from behind him? Did he think he was guarding somebody who hadn't yet walked onto the court? Sometimes players make the wrong decision on defense, or react too slo...
