Hey, does everyone remember when Plumlee was getting burn over Cousins?

[niko]

That Coach K, he knows talent...

[Im Still Ballin]

Remember when people thought Marc Gasol was an MVP candidate and that he was better than Demarcus?

****ing morons

[Basketbolero]

That was mostly to do with Cousins' attitude though. He didn't trust he would be able to accept being just a role player on a talented roster.

You 100% just pulled that out of your ass.

Stop making bullshit claims.

Dude,

Just quit. You're making a fool of yourself. Clearly another sheep that barely watches Demarcus and knows jack-shit about him.

Actually no i dont remember that happening.Cousins was coming first off the bench in place of Davis while Plumlee was only playin during garbage time.I'm talkin about when the real tournament started not about those meaningless exhibition games.

[It's A VC3!!!]

The reason was because Coach K needed a center that would just focus on running the floor, setting screens and defending. He didn't want a center that wanted the ball in his hands. It's obvious that Cousins is the superior player but it had nothing to do with which player is better. Cousins off the court antics didn't help his case too much either. Anyway, what is the point of this thread?

Bingo. Someone who actually knows basketball.

[Im Still Ballin]

Demarcus can run the floor, set screens and play defense better than Plumlee.

[ThickassGlasses]

Demarcus can run the floor, set screens and play defense better than Plumlee.

But he's too good to not want the ball to score. Just like any talented player, it's hard to only do role player duties for an entire game.

And when did Plumlee get more burn than Cousins ? He had the least amount of playing time in the tournament for Team USA.

Lame bait.

[Im Still Ballin]

He's untrustworthy because punched a wall in the heat on play?

That's called passion you ****ing idiot

Pure speculation, trying to make leaps to conclusions where there's nothing there.

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Cousins is a fake tough guy anyway, just a temperamental child. Z-Bo took his lunch money without any resistance, one run-in with a real tough guy and Cousins was hiding behind his teammates.

He's happy to react v smaller players but would never try that crap against anyone that could kick his ass.

[Fudge]

Remember when fat Zach styled on little Cous so hard earlier in the year? Got him shook.

Fat Zach eating his way to the second round. :dancin

[Im Still Ballin]

No I don't

But I do remember Demarcus STEEZING fat zach. Straight up ooh killem'd him. Shit was brutal to watch

I didnt make the speculation, dummy. It was the coaches.

And why does it matter now ? He never got cut over Plumlee and he played a lot of minutes.

[KG215]

Plumlee is one of those players 15, 20, 25 years from now we're going to look back and have to think for a few minutes who he is and why/how the hell did he make a Team USA roster.

Difference between Coach K and Popovich. Popovich runs his offense and defense around his players strengths. Coach K runs his offense and defense the same way and doesnt adjust any year. Look at Karl Towns an aboslute lethal shooter but he wasnt used that way with Kentucky.

lazy troll attempt

0.5/10

[FreezingTsmoove]

Im not ****ing trolling. Karl towns is a great shooter but Coach K doesnt want him to play that way. How is it a troll attempt everyone knows coach K makes players fit his system rather than make a new system around his players strengths

****ing morons

He is better than Cousins doe.
