Cousins gets back at Elliott

[ElNono]

Boogie

Yeah but the fact is, if that was another teams broadcaster getting after jax or another spurs player in a similar fashion, most of you would be all over it..and the board would be blown up...I do find it ironic that duhmarcus calls someone else immature.

[Spurs da champs]

All that talent just too act like a punk , a damn shame.

[z0sa]

Lol cousins was acting like a baby the whole ing game. Hes a dumbass and waiting for sean after the game is totally classless.

[phxspurfan]

Tim busted his ass but thats ok

I read a while back that the Kings came close to renouncing Cousins's draft rights in 2010 when they drafted him. If that's the case, I'm surprised they kept him on the team with all of these problems he's has had, and the fact that his production hasn't been worth the trouble of keeping him around.

Truth hurts...

Here is a take from the "other side", calling Sean a "hack"
http://www.sactownroyalty.com/2012/1...sion?ref=yahoo

On Friday, Spurs broadcaster Sean Elliott reportedly trashed DeMarcus Cousins during the fourth quarter of the Kings' loss to San Antonio. Elliott criticized Boogie for "trash-talking" Tim Duncan after a couple of scores (both of which probably should have been called as charges on Cousins). On an ensuing possession, Duncan stuffed Cousins. Elliott apparently crowed and said some "humility was in order." Word got back to Cousins that Elliott was trashing him. (How? I have no idea.) Cousins apparently came back out onto the court in full uniform to talk to Elliott.

Here's how the San Antonio Express-News describes it.

"I was wondering why Cousins was out there in his uniform waiting for them to finish his postgame show," said Bill Schoening, who does the play-by-play call on radio broadcasts of Spurs games. "Then I saw them in an animated conversation out on the court.

"I observed Sean walk away from Cousins and Cousins continue to talk to Sean as he left the scene, but I couldn't hear what was being said."

Here's what Cousins told the media back in the Kings locker room, via Cowbell Kingdom.

"I mean me and Tim - we're good," Cousins said, pointing out that he meant nothing malicious with his trash talk. "Like I said, I have the utmost respect (for him). But for the commentator to say the things that he said - that was immature."

The Express-News reports that the league is aware of the incident. Chances are it'll fade into the annals of Boogie History. Cousins has always talked up Duncan -- including an infamous moment last season in which Cousins was caught on a broadcast mouthing "F--k, he's good" after a classic Duncan play.

It should be noted that Elliott (who was a fantastic player and does a lot for charity) is a total hack. Anyone who remembers Spurs-Grizzlies from 2010-11 remembers how much grief Elliott got when his local calls went national. He's ... bad. I like to think Cousins was just doing the viewing public's bidding by talking back to Elliott.

Dude Elliott is great announcer and stop being such a sensitive HOMER....he was a Spurs player and most announcers will always back up the team that is paying them..DUH........ And Cousins is a complete fool who always got what he wanted without working hard to get it, and now he hits the NBA he has to work and he don't like it....

Cousins and Carmelo need to be on the same team at some point - the comedy gods demand it. Backwards fighting pussies and petulant children on the same team. And please oh please oh please let Jerry Sloan be the coach...

[DMC]

I like Sean but he does beleaguer the point. He needs to note it and move on. Sean's role is to point out nuances in the game that the common viewer doesn't otherwise catch, but not to continue harping on it. I personally like the smack talk between players, it makes a game within a game and that's good for the game.

[boutons_deux]

Sean's role is fine, game analyst, COLOR announcer, be entertaining. "Elliott For 3!"

[SenorSpur]

I have absolutely no issues with anything Sean said. As a matter of fact, it was hilarious. Frankly, Cousins is bent because, after talking trash, he got his ass handed back to him twice - once by Duncan on the court and by Elliott during the telecast. It would've been one been on thing if Cousins had been continously wiping up the floor with Duncan and Elliott's objectivity prevented him from giving Cousins his props, but that wasn't the case. Cousins is an immature baby who, like a lot of young athletes, cannot handle adversity or abject criticism - regardless of where it comes from. Instead of trying to get back at Elliott after the game, he should've been more concerned with getting back on defense during the game.

It would be a Reality show comedy gold!

[spurs10]

Well said SenorSpur.

[Spursfan092120]

You don't watch Cousins v Duncan very often, do you? Did you even watch any of the other games? Hear Kings broadcasts? Sean's just being a hater, and he's definitely being an asshole about it.

Especially since there's a history of Cousins talking trash as a manner of respect to Duncan.

Cousins only said he respected Duncan because Duncan made him his . You don't talk trash and shove people because you respect them. That's bull . Sean's not being a "hater" as you call it. Guess you didn't watch the whole game. Sean was talking about how athletic and talented he was before he started with the trash talk. That's garbage...and unnecessary. And you do that with the greatest PF to play the game and he's going to take you over his knee..just like he did to Cousins.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

I have no problem with things getting chippy between players on the court. This is a compe ion after all, and these guys are all hyper compe ive which is part of the reason they are stars.

What bothered me was that Cousins made two plays against Tim (both of which should've been offensive fouls tbh), and suddenly thinks he's hot . Fortunately, in classic Duncan fashion, he let his game do the talking and came back to punk Cousins a few times, and he also got the last word by getting the win.

That being said, I think Elliott made a good point calling it out, but he also we a little overboard on it and harped on it a little too long.

This. It was fun seeing Duncan taking it to that lil punk, and everything Elliott said was true. It was just a little odd how much he kept going on and on about it, for the last few minutes of the game.

[boutons_deux]

Both of Cousins' plays were offensive fouls lowering and plunging his shoulder into Tim's chest, right in front of the baseline ref. no call.

If legit no call, what's the rule?

[SpursRock20]

Even the SAC announcers were perplexed as to why there was no foul calls. Elliott really was not out of line. Kinda glad we did not actively pursue this Cousins guy.

Now the NBA is getting involved, hopefully Elliott doesn't get suspended (he did nothing). http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/ey...d-sean-elliott

NBA isn't getting involved because of Sean's comments. They are investigating if Cousins, who was waiting for Seans to get off the air, should be suspended I'm pretty sure. Sean is too much of a class act to tell them exactly what he said, so he's probably saving Cousins a lot of grief. If someone else heard what Cousins said and tells them, I'd bet he's in deep . Somebody reported Cousins to the NBA for something he said to Sean, is what this is all about.

ITA with this. I think it bugs me more when coaches talk about another player than someone that comments on the game. I can't imagine Manu going up to someone to confront them on their commentary on how much he flopped in a game, lol

Chris Mannix ‏@ChrisMannixSI
Kings center DeMarcus Cousins has been suspended for two games for "confronting Spurs announcer Sean ****** in a hostile manner" on Friday

[Juggity]

Edit: already posted

Also, NBA on ESPN expectedly misspelled Elliott's name, as noted by irishock

Should guarantee a Lakers win tonight tbh

[Kori Ellis]

It's HILARIOUS that they suspended Cousins.

Classic.

[timvp]

Cusins. What a dumb human being.
