Sacramento Kings versus Toronto Raptors
Bad clown! Bad clown!
Demarcus is back! The Kings won but that's probably the secondary story to the fact Demarcus Cousins made his return to the hardwood. Even though he, in his own words, "shouldn't have been out there," Boogie returned in exclamatory fashion to the tune of 25 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, and an entire frustrated roster of Chicago Bulls.
I'd say it's surprising how much better the Kings are with Demarcus on the floor but that would be stating the incredibly obvious. If the 6 game losing streak wasn't proof, the fact the Kings absolutely pulverized an above-average Chicago frontcourt and made Joakim Noah take an early shower was.
And so we curbstomped the ghost of the Chicago Bulls, just a few years removed from being the media darlings of the NBA, setting a Sacramento-era record for lowest opponent field goal percentage.
Has the train gotten back on track? Can anyone slow down the Boogie Monster? Stay tuned to find out.
Great Moments in Mike Dunleavy History.
“He called me a clown? I’d like to respond, but clowns can’t talk. So I [can] mime or make him some animal balloons or something,” Dunleavy quipped. “That’s the epitome of the pot calling the kettle black. But honestly, I’ve never been called that before. I guess there’s a first time for everything. I don’t have much to say about that.
“I think his reputation speaks for itself. He’s got a short fuse and easily irritated, so you can’t really breathe on the guy without him flipping out. So that kind of stuff happens. He’s susceptible to that, probably will be for the rest of his career,” he went on to say. “I haven’t had any issues with anybody in this league, so I’m just going to leave it at that. There’s not much more for me to say.”

The View From the Other Side: Chicago Bulls
All comments taken from BlogaBull.com
- 7;32 why basketball gods? all I ask for is a fun game, and I get this crap
- 7:30 DMC finna have a double double in the first
- 7:31 Hey Bulls Let’s not have another blowout in sac town please
- 7:36 lol great quarter Bulls!
- 7:44 Sacto has a lot of big guys.
- 8:24 Like chewing sand, this is. Why, why watch this crap. Like a bad college game.
- 8:40 It's funny listening on the radio They just said Noah’s ejection could inspire the rest of his teammates and the Bulls could make a run with a second wind. What a joke.
- 8:43 cousins is a flopping *****
- 9:12 SAC could be so much better if their coach let them run, like PHO. They have a bunh of athletes and shooters
- 9:23 i think i found worst commentators than Neil and Stacey i can’t listen to these guys the Kings have…
- 9:34 The Kings have a lot of talented players. Our pick from them next year looks promising now.
- 7:55 AM Cousins calling someone else a clown?
That would be ironic even if the person was actually employed as a clown. - 10:20 I’ve never really cared for nor had any issues with DeMarcus Cousin or the Kings. After the game last night, his antic… his behavior and just the most absurd, childish pouting I have ever seen from a grown ass dude — **** made me sick every time his face was shown on my TV. The guy is beyond a prima donna. He’s a great player, but man, that dude’s attitude and all that ****ing whining man. I can understand how Noah just lost his cool. There’s people on the basketball court you love to play against and there’s people on the basketball court that you ****ing hate to play against cause they ***** and cry about everything. It makes the game so ****ty to watch. DeMarcus Cousin is a ****ing cry baby.
Tonight's Game
Hmm. These guys look familiar.
The surprise team of the eastern conference, the Toronto Raptors continue their long march towards the playoffs, bolstered by a bench rotation that is pretty much just the four guys we traded for Rudy, Acy, and Gray.
Predictions and Closure
Facing a frontcourt led by the mighty defensive four headed monster of Amir Johnson, Jonas Valanciunas, Patrick Patterson, and Chuck Hayes, Demarcus goes full monster mode on the Raptors, eating Jonas for breakfast and finishing the night off with a hearty Chuckwagon special. Kings win, 108-100. Demarcus continues to show why he's an all-star with 34 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 assists. Rudy is his usual efficient self right to the point when he hits a clutch dagger late in the game and promptly flips off the entire Raptors front office. Meanwhile, the Stinky Fish remains stinky and Greivis and IT challenge each other for the title of worst PG defender on the court.
