— I was told before the game by two different ushers not to say DeMarcus Cousins’ name a single time. There was nothing I could really say to the man who absolutely tore the Pelicans to shreds while barely breaking a sweat. But he is the only player I’ve seen get this treatment. My usher made it sound like his job was on the line. Seems like DeMarcus Cousins has people bending over backwards to cater to him. The guy was rarely reprimanded for any of his temper tantrums and he was the only player Caron Butler wasn’t engaging with. Every time he pouted towards the Sacramento bench the coaches just said “play through.” Play through he did, dumping 40 points on the Pels.
