Little Joe Loudmouth: Who's On Speights?
Last night the Warriors did what the Warriors do, they beat the Kings by 25. All Star DeMarcus Cousins played good in defeat, as usual, with his 29th double double of the season, going for 26 & 11. But, DeMarcus did forget 1 thing, Marreese Speights.
On this inbound play by the Warriors, Cousins is bent over, hands on his knees, almost as if he thought the Kings were on offense. Steph Curry lobs the inbound pass towards the rim, and the unguarded Speights throws down the dunk. Maybe Cousins thought he was going to have help. Maybe someone didn't pick up on a switch. Who knows? But it wasn't the first time that this has happened.
Remember in Minnesota? Rudy Gay has the ball, drives baseline, gets triple teamed, meanwhile Cousins is bent over, hands on his knees.
I'm not saying Cousins has checked out, far from it. I think it's pretty obvious that he's the best thing we got. There have been a number of times this season, he's been the only one out there doing anything. The debate never should of been, is Cousins an All Star, it should be is Cousins an MVP. I'm just wondering what happened, on these plays.
The sad thing is, Cousins continues to put up monster numbers while this team continues to lose, and that has to be frustrating.
