The Lakers are really old, slow, and terrible defensively. At least as long as Dwight keeps playing like this. They need to fire Mike Brown tonight.

I don't think he'll make the season out. I really believe that if they spend November and December treading water and playing mediocre ball, there will be a full scale mutiny by January.

Did anybody else notice the inexplicable patch of hair Hasheem Thabeet is sporting a la Rasheed Wallace?

Asik had 0 points and 19 rebounds.

That's hard to do. I wonder if it is a record.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

I watched a full quarter of Minnesota-Toronto before realizing it was a replay.

I was still entertained.

JJ Barea & Donald Sloan are first 2 floppers. RT @NBAOfficial: http://www.nba.com/official

Videos of both are included at the link. The Sloan one is especially fun as it happened against the Bulls.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

well, there goes my avatar challenge with FF.

Or maybe not. The Bulls can't score.

What was your avatar challenge?

Even with the Bulls' offensive problems, they should coast to a division win. Indiana looks dreadful right now, and without Granger for 3 months, they have alot of scoring problems as well. The Bucks will fade once the team gets pissed off at Skiles. And Cleveland & Detroit?

This guy could end up being one of the best players in this league, but I just have the feeling he will never figure it out, and ultimately it will cost him millions of dollars throughout his career. All he does is piss, moan, pout, and do stupid shit like the message above.

Is there any more info on it? I'd be curious to hear what Elliot said to provoke it, and what Cousins threatened.

DeMarcus Cousins Suspended For Confronting Sean Elliot, Spurs Broadcaster


Sacramento's DeMarcus Cousins has been suspended two games by the NBA for getting in a heated exchange with San Antonio Spurs broadcaster Sean Elliot after a recent game.

According to Mike Monroe of Spurs Nation, the incident stemmed from Cousins "talking trash" to Tim Duncan during the fourth quarter. After Duncan responded by blocking Cousins' shot and dropping in a few buckets of his own, Elliot responded by laying into the young Kings star during his broadcast.

"That’s why some humility is in order. You think you’re dominating Tim Duncan, you get it stuffed right back in your face. Timmy doesn’t like to talk trash," Elliot said on the air, via Spurs Nation. "But if guys start talking mess to him, he’s going to respond. All that trash talking was premature. I’m not about to let these guys off the hook. Young ballclub should learn from this. Don’t start talking and flapping your gums against one of the greatest players ever. He’s going to make you pay. Tell me who got the best of this exchange.”

Cousins confronted Elliot following the Spurs' 97-86 win. According to CBS Sports, he learned about Elliot's comments. But it didn't end there. Cousins took his anger into the locker room and fired back at Elliot when talking to reporters.

"I got the utmost respect for Tim Duncan. Me trash talking Tim Duncan is not being disrespectful," Cousins said, explaining that he understands that Duncan is a future Hall of Famer. "But for him to go on TV and say the comments that he said. That's immature."

Even funnier is the fact that he's harrassing SEAN ELLIOT, one of the all-time NBA good guys. I mean, really?

have you heard Sean Elliot broadcast a game? he's pretty awful, homer to the bone.

He's a local broadcaster. He doesn't need to be objective.

COF is correct in saying that Elliott is a serious homer. Top 3 color commentator homers.

Now the Bucks radio play by play guy - Ted Davis - might be #1 overall in his bracket.

I haven't. You?

And Sparky just needs to shut the fuck half the time.
