When people have no intelligent response, they start calling other people names. It shows a lack of class, and a lack of intelligent argument. I happen to be a loyal fan, and I'm done with Cousins. Doesn't mean I won't root for him to be successful, because if he is, the the Kings might be. But I'm done circling the wagons in his defense. When players throw lazy passes as they come across the halfcourt line that get intercepted, that has nothing to do with the pace of the game, or Karl's system. That has to do with lack of focus and stupidity. When your in the post and you get tripled teamed and you decide to bully your way through three defenders, throw up a desperate shot, and not get the foul called, and then stand and argue with the ref while your man is running the floor for an easy basket, that has nothing to do with Karl or his system. That has to do with selfishness and caring only about yourself.
Is that who you want as your leader? Really! Is that the example you want from you leader? Vlade was a leader. Vlade was the guy that put out fires, not start them. I'm no longer talking about points on the board. Cousins talent isn't in question, his character is. The question that needs answering is, is Cousins creating a climate for winning, or is he creating a climate of tension and unrest. If you've ever played with someone like him, the first thing that comes to mind, is what the hell are you doing. Were trying to win a game here. After a while, it wears on you. Look, nothing would make me happier than for Cousins to grow up and see the light. But I've been saying that for the last five years. If he wants to remain stupid, fine. But I'm no longer going to join him. I won't root against him because that would be rooting against the team. I'm a team guy, not a Cousins guy. I'll decide to become more of a Cousins guy when he decides he wants to be part of the team. Until then, I wish him all the luck in the world. But don't say I'm not a fan. That's petty and beneath you.
