Exactly. The trick is to not think like some sort of battered girlfriend, like yours is the team "that can change him." No sweetie. He will always be this way.
He just got tossed in the OT game against the Mavs. Threw a forearm to Carter's face after being swarmed and stripped of the ball. He was fouled out with 6 fouls anyway but called for a flagrant 2 so he had to leave the floor. What a child. [youtube]F6pERQcPnhU[/youtube]
Yeah he did that because he instantly realized what he did and acted like it was an accident to try and hide it from the officials.
Classic Cousins, dominate then make an incredibly stupid play to erase the good night you had. 29, 9, and 4 assists on 9-14 shooting then makes the dumbest play imaginable to piss the game away.
No comparison. Cousins is awesome but plays dumb and acts dumb. Beasley is just plain bad. His entire game is bad. If he was a saint, I still would not touch him with a 10 foot pole.

If Cousins gives me 29-9 on 14 shots, I can live with him doing some dumb stuff... Why was Dallas in the game anyway? How come Dirk, OJ Mayo and Shawn Marion combined for 29 rebounds while their counterparts Jason Thompson, John Salmons and Garcia combined for 8?
Definitely, those post suspension stats are through the roof. I'm actually hoping he keeps being suspended and does more dumb stuff, so the rockets can get him for cheap. Once he gets here, we'l mature him, most likely he'l probably mature by him self as he gets older. 22 is not always man, is some cases 13 is a man, but this is not cousins case. He may not mature for a couple more years, he isn't crazy, just still really young...playing for a team like the kings.
Surreal seeing DeMarcus Cousins sit in his locker watching the TNT analysts talk about him and the incident with Vince Carter. #NBAKings
