Behold Everything Beautiful And Ugly About DeMarcus Cousins
The Knicks and the Kings played last night at Madison Square Garden, and at least for those of us who live in New York, it was a far more entertaining spectacle than the shit-ass game between the Giants and Steelers that it overlapped with for most of the early evening. The Knicks were victorious a...

Sixers-Kings Game Cancelled After Philadelphia Stadium Sweats All Over Everything
The Sixers were supposed to tip off against the Kings at 7:07 tonight, but instead of some incompetent basketball, fans in Philly were treated to a bunch of dudes mopping a floor for 20 minutes. Officials decided to postpone the game shortly after, but didn’t make an announcement for an hour. The mo...
DeMarcus Cousins Wishes Professional Ruin Upon John Wall
The Kings and Wizards are playing tonight in front of about 17 people in Washington D.C. It’s a fairly unimportant meeting between two sad sack teams, but it allowed Kentucky teammates DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall to reminisce about their friendship and look toward the future, a future in which Co...

Julius Randle Is Getting In People's Heads
Have you been watching any Lakers games this year? Perhaps you haven’t given them much thought ever since Kobe Bryant finally fucked off and took all the schadenfreude-driven reasons to watch the Lakers with him. Well guess what, the Lakers are kind of fun now!...
Rudy Gay's Game-Winning Attempt Missed Everything But His Teammate's Head
Rudy Gay had 30 points and 12 boards in a valiant loss for the Sacramento Kings down in Miami tonight. The team can take heart in their near-win against an Eastern Conference playoff team on the road. They can not, however, find much to like about the last play of regulation. Gay got the rock, fired...
DeMarcus Cousins Shows Off A Range Of Emotions After His Fouls
Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins led the NBA with 17 technical fouls last season, so he’s well acquainted with the art of getting T’d up. But with his first one of this season, in the second quarter of Saturday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Cousins debuted a new reaction: the ch...
Rudy Gay To George Karl: "Welcome To Basketball Hell"
The Sacramento Kings, a failed state of an NBA team run by a clueless owner, will be bad this year, despite internal expectations that they’ll make the playoffs. One of the reasons why they could actually improve this season is because their new coach Dave Joerger seems to have a clue, unlike George...
Geoff Petrie Lambastes Vivek Ranadivé's "Sophomoric Attempt At Revisionist History"
Over the weekend, USA Today published a two-part interview with Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé, a look back on his three-and-a-half years in charge of the struggling team. I thought it was interesting—and weak—how much Ranadivé deflected the blame for just about every poor decision the team h...
DeMarcus Cousins Knows His Music History
DeMarcus Cousins recently joked that he doesn’t know who Paul McCartney (the guy who did a song with Kanye West a few years ago) is. Undoubtedly, this comment caused a few pearls to be clutched and few fainting chairs to be fainted into....
Vivek Ranadivé Deflects Almost All Blame For The Kings' Problems In Surreal Interview
The Sacramento Kings have been hilariously incompetent for a long while now, but especially since Vivek Ranadivé and a group of investors bought them three and a half years ago. They have shuffled through front office decision-makers (Pete D’Alessandro, Chris Mullin, Dean Oliver) and coaches (Keith ...
DeMarcus Cousins Doesn't Understand The Kings Draft, Either
How many centers should an NBA team have? One is clearly not enough, although the Cleveland Cavaliers just won the Finals without really playing any of the players technically classified as centers on their roster. You probably should have at least two, because big, tall basketball men are good at g...
Kings Draftee's Father Is A Fiery, Irrepressible Twitter Troll
Last night, the Sacramento Kings selected Georgios Papagiannis with the 13th pick in the NBA Draft. The Kings, who have two guards under contract, passed on the only prospect to work out for them (Wade Baldwin) to draft a player who ESPN had going in the second round and Draft Express ranked as the ...
DeMarcus Cousins Expresses His Feelings At Kings Reaching To Select Anonymous Greek Center
The Sacramento Kings have been very active this evening, trading Marco Belinelli for the 22nd pick, then selecting Marquese Chriss at eight, only to send him to Phoenix for the 13th pick and Bogdan Bogdanovic (who, we should note, is NOT Bojan Bogdanovic). They then reached for Greek center Georgios...
Sports Drafts Are Immoral And Bad
The Sacramento Kings came in for even more derisive laughter than the baseline occasioned by any mention of their existence yesterday when ESPN’s Chad Ford posted the following in the little quasi-Twitter scroll thing on the right side of the Worldwide Leader’s busted website:...
