I guess Cousins never got over his at ude problems like he said in the draft...

lol @ mavfan coming in to protect dirk's honor
when durant gains a reputation for missing key FTs like dirk has...then talk. one pair of missed FTs does not give u that reputation, especially against a bottom-dweller during the reg season.
The same Kevin Durant who's never even led his team to the 2nd round?
You're right, there should be no comparison to the two
Tbh, another what if no one remembers is at the very end of game 6 of the 2006 finals the Heat were up by 3 and all D-Wade needed to do was make 1 outa 2 free throws to ice the game. He misses both and Terry has a wide open 3 to send it to overtime that he bricks. If Terry makes that 3 and Miami ends up imploding, Wade goes down as the "choker" in that series.
yea because their cir stances are similar
this is his 3rd yr in the league, he came into basically an expansion team...and made them a 50 win team his second yr. im sure dirk can makee such claims![]()
This is Durant's 4th season and he made OKC a 50 win team in his 3rd season.
When Dallas drafted Dirk, they were considered one of the NBA's tiest franchises and had been a lottery team for 8 straight years. Dirk, in his 3rd season, made them a 53 win team and took them to the 2nd round. So yeah, he kinda can make such claims.
Touche. Although Im not sure that that team was clearly his, the way OKC was Durant's right away...considering Finley and Nash were there. Still unfair to Durant to criticize him for not leading his teams to what Dirk has though, considering that this is barely his 4th yr in the league.
This is an example of what happens when you put a 20 year old on a team without any veteran leadership. This recipe has repeated itself many times in the past as it will many times in the future.
As the meme goes, this will not end well. It has Dallas' Three J's or Starbury/Garnett written all over it.
tbh name all the other times when dirk missed key FTs in a big game. he did miss that one in the finals, and then the one against the nuggets. im just curious where he got this reputation for missing key FTs, aside from these two games?
+1 i was about to post the same thing
This might actually hurt the Kings if he complains like this. He seems to be overly y and gets mad if things don't go his way. Of course he's immature, but I hope he learns sooner or later that this is not the best way to go about it and the media is always watching him.
Tbh, thats one of the downsides to one and done players, lack of maturity. Balls in Cousin's court if he wants to be a star or not.
You can't have too many headcases on one team, and it looks like the Kings might. Cousins has the potential to be a great player, but he never will be if his emotions get the better of him all the time.
He won't be playing tonight against the Suns, which is good for us.
Exactly and he has lost as many games as he won. Dude has talent but he may need Phil Jackson, Doc type coach to reel him ... (Doc is not PJ but has managed a diverse group of potential divas: Baby, Perk, and even KG ...to make them a cohesive team)
It may just be maturity but to me, his bball IQ seems low ...
Meanwhile, the Kings just beat a hot Suns team on the road without Cousins. I'm sure that made him feel even better![]()
LOL suns were on a roll ...
right now all these games are trap games ...teams running on fumes waiting for ASB ...
nahh
LA just sucks bro
brah it isnt just about missed FTs
his balls shriveled that game not just att the line...he took one FGA down that stretch, got fouled, and choked. he was deferring to stack, terry, and harris?you think pierce, kobe, or manu wouldve done thatt??not to mention terry took the last heave in that game 6 too.
Did you even watch the game?
Two possessions before he hit a tough contested jumper with Haslem draped all over him and then the next possession he found a wide open Dampier under the rim for a dunk.
And then of course in game 5 he hit a ridiculously tough jumper in OT which would've won the game and most likely the series if not for the Harris 'foul' on Wade.
Do you enjoy getting your pushed in or something?
game 3 ??
nah go back and watch the last two-thre mins of that game bro
