    With 3:25 left in the second quarter of the Mavericks’ 119-96 victory over Sacramento, Kings center DeMarcus Cousins delivered what replays showed to be a back-hand, closed-fist punch to O.J. Mayo’s groin.
    The incident occured while the two were fighting for position. Cousins and Mayo were whistled for a double-technical foul for jawing at one another following the blow.

    “I told him, ‘Man, play basketball,’ ” Mayo said. “ ’You’ve got a chance to be a good player, but when you do stuff like that, you’re like a garbage player. It’s not a sign of being great.’”

    Cousins, who was suspended for two games by the NBA earlier this season for starting an altercation with Spurs broadcaster Sean Elliott, described the blow to Mayo’s midsection as “an accident.”

    “Man, that guy has mental issues,” Mayo said. “He’s a talented player. He has an opportunity to be the face of the organization, but I don’t think he wants it.”

    I wouldn't call it a punch, more of a love tap.

    hmm Mayo kept trying to hump his arm during that whole play. I can't say i blame him, it must get pretty annoying.

    He aspires to be Batum.
    But at least its nice to see that not only Mayo has improved skill wise, but he also seems mature.

    Oh Mayo, if only you knew that a center with a TS% that low is already garbage.

    Sorry to be that guy, but why doesn't Harden get his teeth fixed? Scola had it done, and little things like that do wonders for a players confidence. You honestly don't notice them with the beard, and he doesn't show much teeth when he talks... It would just make the beard look a little cleaner if he had a good-looking set of teeth under there... Sorry, back to the topic at hand...

    Are you a chick or a wuss?

    I don't think Harden has confidence issues as a result of his teeth. I am pretty sure his crooked teeth are the last thought on his mind when he is on the court.

    Weak sauce.

    Reggie Evans would have grabbed it.
