    This thread is based on no sources or facts whatsoever. The whole Cousins vs Karl thing arose from his agents, not the athlete. Cousins is frustrated at the FO flip-flopping on which direction they are taking.

    that he indeed needs to fix but the problem has been coaches who don't know how to use him

    Zach Randolph was once the same way (maybe even worse)

    Brilliant move by Gay's camp refusing the invitation. He's already Coach Karl's favorite player, and a step up in every NBA coach's book.

    The news appears to be completely false.

    Wish cebrex could ask his source to explain the 2 to 3 Cousins' interviews where he states that he is fine with this.

    I don't believe he is fine with it, but that he wants the media to believe that he has no input on coaching hires/what management does. That way, if things go wrong, he isn't blamed for it.

    I'm with i3oogie on this one. Karl is unbelievably overrated.

    Dude has made the playoffs a ton, and yet he has more one and dones than Peyton Manning does.

    Karl has lost in the first round with home court as a 1 seed, a 2 seed, a 3 seed and a 4 seed. Meaning he really spreads his suck around.

    He’s made 3 “runs” in like 20+ years. The 96 Sonics, one of his Bucks squads (01???) and the 09 Nuggets.

    He’s coached like 25+ years and somehow has a losing record in the playoffs, when you really only need to win one single series every once in a while to pad your stats, he can’t even do that.

    Damn near every other damn team he’s had is out in round 1 like clockwork. With a whimper no less.

    He lost two games in the 09 Conference Finals when he couldn’t get his team to inbound the ball properly. TWO!!

    He was down 3-0 before he decided to put his best defensive player on the other team’s best offensive player. Then they suddenly won two games [​IMG][​IMG]

    He’s great from November thru mid April. Once it says “playoffs” before every game, he’s done. Not sure if he’s planning his vacations, or what.

    Now he’s running the Sacramento Kings. What could go wrong there?

    The actual totals now that I have a minute.

    He has a .600 winning percentage in the regular season, but he's TWENTY FIVE games below .500 in the playoffs [​IMG]

    The year he won coach of the year, he lost in round 1. Year before that, round 1. Year before that, round 1, year before that, are you gettin the picture?



    How do you have a 600 winning percentage over the course of 1,900 regular season games, but in 200 playoff games you have a .432????? And that's WITH homecourt most years, against lesser teams.


    He's great in 82 games. He's horrible in 7 game sets when all he has to do is study and focus on his team for 2 weeks. He can't adjust and attack your weaknesses, and he damn sure can't stop you from attacking his. When you have 24 hours to fly from New York to Boston to then wherever Karl coaches, yeah, he can beat you cuz you haven't had time to look at his team. When you do, it's a wrap. Every year.


    Karl is the hot chick, like an 8, girl looks right in all the right places, fills out that bra nicely, got them yoga pants lookin TASTY.

    Then you slip all them clothes off and climb aboard, and the ***** don't move right. [​IMG] She don't move her legs in the right places, can't get no rythym goin, got your stroke all choked up, it's all bumpy and rough waters, just a plain mess. So you try somethin else, maybe she'll tongue ya down or somethin, make it right that way, only her teeth all in the way, scratchin you and ****. Squeezin your pair like she's tryin to break them outta jail or somethin, got you gaspin for breath and what not, just tryin to get her clothes back on so she look good again. She's an 8 in clothes, but a -2 in bed.

    Don't nobody got time for that. We don't want that ****. We want a 7.5 in clothes, and a 38 when the lights go out. Someone that leaves you out of breath. Beggin for more. Girl that can straighten you out with a single touch.

    Quite the conspiracy theory based pretty much solely on cebrex' source.

    Cousins isn't going to lie to the press multiple times in a scenario where he's completely telling another story to the new coach, team and teammates. That would only make it worse.
