Apparently Demarcus Cousins decided to pick a fight with Donte Greene after their loss (probably mad that he didn't get the ball on the last possesion). Guess he isn't making their road trip now. Kid has too much talent, but he must be driving that coaching staff CRAZY.

Sheed came to my mind too, but he was just very, VERY [mike]immotional[/mike].

Sheed wasn't nearly as childish with his outbursts. DMC goes around throwing temper tantrums all day long.

Not surprised, I alluded to it in the game thread. You could tell he was mad, he STORMED off the court on some "kid who didn't get what he wanted at Toys R Us" tip after that last possession. I thought Reke should have tried to drive the ball on that last possession, considering he isn't a shooter, they were 1 for 11 at that point, he could've drawn a foul or made a dish, and they were at home and you generally go for ot at home, for the win on the road. But Cousins had Ibaka on him, he wasn't about to do anything either.

Is this even a surprise? EVERYONE knew the risks with DMC when he was drafted. You get the bad...with the good. He's a damn talented player, but immature. He's only 20 and has a long way to go. He'll get his emotions in check. If there is a silver-lining, it's actually good to see that he cares. Dude wants to win.

*I wonder if Reke or Cousins will be traded at the deadline.

Sheed and Cousins don't even compare. Sheed in his prime was one of the most talented players in the league, so he could get away with it.

This. I'm still waiting to see this amazing talent that is worth the trouble.  He is at least better than greg oden.  It could be that I don't see him play enough, but every time I do he is always pouting, running up on refs, and giving the
grin.gif
face. Kid always seems salty.

He's very much worth the trouble. He can post up, hit the mid range jump shot, rebound and pass. He commits silly fouls and takes bad shots to go along with the immaturity, but the potential is there .

IMO Cousins can be more dominant than Sheed when it comes to post play. No doubt in my mind he will average at least 20/10. He's an immature guy on a very young team which doesnt help lol but I hope he gets through.
