Cousin's drops 55, ejected for spitting mouthpiece at the Bench

[KG Living Legend]

 Holy crap. Can this guy be more controversial if he tried. He gets and and one, runs over and literally spits his mouth piece at the trailblazer's bench.

 He was staring down the bench as he did it.  I'm 100% certain it was on purpose. He runs off the court like a mad man and into the locker room.

 Inexplicably they look at the tape decide to bring cousins back into the game and he proceeded to score 55 points and grabbed 13 rebounds as the Kings beat the Trailblazers in overtime.

  Horrible decision by the NBA but once again cousins is the most enamoring player in the league.

That's not a very accurate description of what happened.  He had already gone for 54 and 13 before he was ejected.  Then he made his final free throw after the ejection was rescinded (with 30 seconds left in the game).  It's not like he was kicked out and let back in during the first quarter.

Also, the game ended in regulation, not OT.

I was just reading the comments on Sactown Royalty and about half the fans commenting are sick of his behavior and want him gone despite him just having the game of his life.  I wonder if Vivek is close to reaching his breaking point.  They just fined him and he responds by committing two techs, one of which was inexplicably reversed, and then he acted like a maniac in the post game interview and had his mic cut.

Sign me up too.  Lol

I'm with you.  And if he punches out Dan Shaughnessy, I might cheer.

I don't care about controversy. He scored 55! Bring him over! He can spit at any time and anywhere.

It's way more than half. It's probably closer to 80%. It's hilarious reading their comments.

For those wondering what the OP is talking about, here's the play, along with his crazy postgame interview where he pretty much claims the world is against him (it's pretty funny):

And evidently the ref thought he threw his mouthpiece, which is why he gave him the technical foul. When the other refs said he didn't throw it and it came out of his mouth, then they rescinded the technical foul. So that's understandable. However, they'll look at the video afterwards and realize the technical foul was warranted all along, because Cousins undoubtedly spit it out towards them.

I genuinely believe that within the past week he has killed any possibility of the Celtics gambling on him.

Asking price just came down considerably is all

As Delboy Trotter would say: Au contraire, my darling, au contraire.

I think now we can start talking.

Asking price for a trade goes down day by day....
