    Cousins ripped by George Karl and others

    I live in Sac and went to 4 Kings games this year (Rockets, Cavs, Thunder and Spurs). Cousins body language is terrible, complains all the time about calls and just generally is insubordinate with a crappy attitude. Personally I would not want to coach him.

    Kobe...Am I alone?

    Lebron has a higher career ppg average at a higher FG% than Kobe AND is a better facilitator and rebounder. Kobe is a great scorer but I don't think he is as complete a player as Lebron who can do pretty much everything. That said in the 4th quarter with the game on the line I prefer Kobe...

    Golden State Warriors going for record tying 72 wins today

    I know it's a big call but GSW are the best, most complete NBA team I have ever seen. Excellent at defending the 3, exceptional shooters who space the floor, great ball handling and off the ball movement and great in transition too. Spurs 3/17 from downtown and the best looks they got in...
