Cousins Injury - West is Wide Open

Cousins had upped his play of late and was getting exponentially more integrated into their system. We shall see. But, if he's gone..that's a big deal.

I believed we'd beat them either way, but it's a much easier path w/o Boogie. (contrary to what some might think)

 

Looney/Bogut definitely play within in the offense better than Cousins, but him being out gives them less versatility. Cousin can score over Capela and dominate a half or game. Cousins can also shoot from 3 point line if "forced". Bogut and Looney can do neither.

How healthy Iguodala is and plays will probably be a bigger key to the series this year.

 

Might be true for other teams but it seems like Boogie kills us every time.

 

Yep. As soon as I saw he was hurt I was like **** now they don’t have to play him.

 

This.

Rockets are on a mission this year. Lockdown defense 48 minutes!

 

they gonna use this injury to try and not give credit to the rockets when we beat them

I dont even think he hurt, they probably told him to fake and get out because he sucks so much defensively

 

Doc rivers tanks the clippers for his own job security.

Guess this explains why cp3 left and Austin rivers.

 

In his defense no one was offering him a long term deal coming off the injury. He signed on for an easy ring on a prove it deal.

 

They play better without him

 

N u dont think we could do that to bogut....trust me we will. I actually think looney is who I kind of dont want. I think he plays the switch as good as Clint. But the flip side he would kill u on offense so I think I like it without cuzz

 

Looney gives us fits but it does hurt their depth

 

Spoiler

 

Took that gamble, if this is a torn quad....I bet it cost him 50+ million had he signed a max last year.

 

Damn now the Warriors are looking real weak with only four all-stars and two MVP's

 

This knocks them back to where they were last year, defending champion. It's better for us. You get rid of MVP talent and that's gonna help us. However, they still have more firepower than we do. So I still look at it as an upset if we win. They have 2 MVP and 2 All Star. We have 1 MVP and one almost MVP. It's just not enough mathematically unless Harden goes balls. That is our only hope.

 

Man, that sucks for Boogie. Just terrible for any player to go out that way. I feel so bad for him that I wish it had been any of their other starters.

 

If they beat us with old man bogut I'll be pissed.

 

Why. Rockets aren’t even beating Utah @Reeko LOL we were told

 

We could do that to Bogut. But Kerr won't be pressured into playing Bogut. Doubt Bogut even plays vs us tbh. Green / Looney will take the C minutes vs us.
