    so last night all the hoopla on twitter was about the spit heard round the NBA. But its odd that from choking women in nightclubs, to getting coaches fired, to leading the league in techs. Cousins gets a pass and is seen as a guy who is playing for a trash organization. I would argue no team including houston wants Cousins baggage.

    Then their is Westbrook who does all crazy things on the court, he kiced the ball away from lillard, he constantly pushes the boundaries from trash talking fans in dallas in the playoffs to screaming at his teammates and coach

    Cousins in particular scares me, he seems more ron artest like and could go off and start some kind of brawl that would shame the league and the good that adam silver has done


    But these guys are seen as competitors. But I guarenetee you if Harden or LeBron did half the stuff these guys did, they would be crucified by the media

    total media conspiracy. you should sue them.

    Also . . . what's your point? you're posing a hypothetical "if Harden or LeBron did half the stuff these guys did, they would be crucified by the media" that simply isn't the case. So what's the problem?

    I don't get what you're complaining about. Harden and Lebron both enjoy much better reputations than Westbrook and especially Cousins. Cousins really does play for a trash organization though. Doesn't mean he's getting a pass.

    Cousins can be a Rodman or Rasheed Wallace on a championship team

    Cousins could be the rich man's Beverley if he were to come to Houston.

    I admittedly haven't been all over the nba this year but I hadn't seen any of these things so thanks for bringing it to my attention in video format! I don't care for Cousins or Westbrook's attitudes and don't see either winning rings anytime as a main contributor. Partly because of attitude.

    +1. This entire thread doesn't make a lick of sense.
