Nobody gonna talk about DeMarcus back to back 20/20/10?

[Marchesk]

This might not have happened since Wilt. Just saying. Had 10 blocks in those two games as well.

[keep-itreal]

empty stats

[JohnFreeman]

Best center in the game

[J Shuttlesworth]

Definitely impressive. People saying "empty stats" are idiots

[Eric Cartman]

Impressive, damn we're not gonna see him in the playoffs.

Next year I hope both AD and Demarcus make it :cheers:

[warriorfan]

empty stats




I still think DeMarcus is a great player.

I love boogie but come on, this is garbage time

what? It was a close game, and the Pelicans are fighting for their playoff lives

1. Pelicans are in must win mode for the 8th seed
2. Demarcus played 42 of 48 minutes
3. He was a +7 on the court
4. They lost by 6
5. He had majority of the teams assists
6. He had majority of the teams rebounds
7. He had multiple blocks and steals, anchored the defense, Anthony Davis had none of it

8. Best center in the league

YAHTZEE.

Too lazy to type out for the 50th time why empty stats stuff with Cousins is beyond retarded, so here's a post from some dude from another forum that sums it up quite nicely


Yeah, here was the rotation out there around him tonight:

Omri Casspi
Carl Landry
Ben McLemore
Ray McCallum
Derrick Williams
Andre Miller
Jason Thompson
Nik "Sauce" Stauskas

That's quite the team that he's got there. Castoffs, rookies, end of benchers, a 60yr old backup PG.


In the last 3 games Cousins is averaging: 29.0pts 20.7reb 8.3ast 1.7stl 4.3blk

Trying to pin losses on somebody putting up those kinds of numbers is borderline insane. Here's their eternal problem.

First game @ Pelicans Cousins is at a -1 in his 41min. His team goes -13 in the 7min he rests.
Second game @ Rockets Cousins is at a +2 in his 39min. His team goes -6 in the 9min he rests.
Third game vs. Pelicans Cousins is at a +7 in his 42min. His team goes -13 in the 6min he rests.

So yes,obviously it is the fault of the monster carrying a group of scrubs to being up on WC playoffs teams every night, that as soon as he leaves they collapse utterly everytime and lose the game. That's -32pts in 22min for the Kings without Cousins. That's on pace to lose a full 48min game by about 70pts. Its been going on all season. If MVP truly meant "Most Valuable Player" Cousins would have as good an argument as anyone. When he's on the floor, the Kings hang right there with anybody. As soon as he's out, boom, all chance is gone.

[Joel Embiid]

Greatest center in the league.

[hawksdogsbraves]

I mean this whole Kings team/season is in garbage time. Boogie can go 9/22 and put up garbage, (albeit great) stats in a big time loss and not give a ****.

Five TO's, awful shooting, who gives a shit? The season is over anyway.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

KILLEM!

[hawksdogsbraves]

I LOVE boogie and I think he's a top 5-7 player in the league, but come on, this is not a game where you should go crazy over his statline. This is garbage time for the Kings.

[JohnFreeman]

Love how if Boogie tries people say it's "garbage time", but then he doesn't try and people say he has a bad attitude

[Im Still Ballin]

Both teams played hard

Especially pelicans seeming as what position they're in

D-Cuz played 42 minutes

[warriorfan]

great players can still post empty stats

[Milbuck]

What is this even supposed to mean? Garbage time is when the game is completely out of hand and you're stat padding in a game that is basically either unwinnable or a locked in W. They were completely in this game and it was entirely because of Cousins' dominance. Without him they get murked into the ground like they consistently have been for the past 2 years without him. There is nothing garbage time about that game, it was a closely contested game in which Cousins played out of his mind. There is no legitimate reason to knock his performance.

[hawksdogsbraves]

I'm really not trying to shit on Boogie, but how many times has LeBron put up a triple double and not won the game? Even on one of those shitty Cavs teams early in his career...

EVERY game Boogie plays right now is garbage time. The organization probably WANTS the Kings to lose. He can try as hard as he wants and shoot 9/22 every game and lose, nobody cares. It's not generating wins and the Kings want it that way. This season is in the garbage for them.

There's a difference between dropping a triple double, and averaging 29/21/8/4/2 over 3 games.

If Anthony Davis did this, even in 3 losses, people would be losing their minds over it, we'd be seeing the "top 10 GOAT potential" threads being flooded.

Who cares what the owners/management's intentions are? That does not matter. At all. The fact of the matter is it was a closely contested game, both sides played hard, and Cousins DOMINATED. Period.

I mean yeah he DOMINATED in a game they lost at home pretty easily to an average Pelicans team...

I get that he's a great player but at what point do we consider he is putting up these stats at the expense of his team playing winning basketball?

[Marchesk]

Is his team capable of playing winning basketball?

Absolutely not :oldlol:

If we get WCS I'm gonna be so happy

Maybe Silver rewards Sacramento for sticking around and we get the Number 1 pick

Just hope WCS doesn't go too early

[Genaro]

Definitely impressive. People saying "empty stats" are idiots
He got his stats and he got the L as always

[Im Still Ballin]

Collison
McLemore
Gay
WCS
DMC

Good defensive line-up

WCS gives some serious versatility to this team on defense, he can guard pretty much every position

[Black Mamba's B]

Cousins been ballin and has an old school attitude..
The media and casuals don't give him proper respect

And imagine WCS on the break

A 7 foot Faried

He'd thrive under George Karl

Plus Bhullar adding Indian spice if he gets in shape

[NZStreetBaller]

If he keeps this up he might earn himself a spot on the laker squad. steve nash is off the payroll now.

[Im Still Ballin]

Another 50 pounds off and he can atleast offer 10 -15 minutes of Rim protection when Demarcus is resting

Will be interesting, people are saying he's lost 30 pounds since the start of the D-League, but he still looks pretty overweight so It's going to be interesting to see how he moves with 50 less pounds.

[ImKobe]

What's the difference between current DMC and last year's Kevin Love? Putting up big numbers on a lottery team.

Kevin Love is white

[Im Still Ballin]

Demarcus is 10 times the defender and Love had Martin, Rubio, Pekovic,

And they had Adelman one of the great coaches

Kings have talent but they have all been injured for most of the year and the firing of Mike Malone certainly didn't help morale among the team

[JebronLames]

Collison/mclemore/gay/Thompson/cousins have the 4th best +/- in the league

[SwayDizzle]

get this man to the Lakers

[BlakFrankWhite]

just needs a good team.

drove trains on davis

[DirkNowitzki41]

Cousins is far from being a empty stat guy, unlike Kevin Love. Boogie does so much for the Kings on both ends... beast.

Man needs a better team around him.. too bad the kings FO is shit

I recall seeing a topic about Wiggins "shamelessly padding his stats" in blowout losses. So, I guess Wiggins should have done the honorable thing, and just lied down on the floor while he was being asked to play those minutes in blowout losses.
