DMC a block away from a 5x5

While losing by 30.  Why do NBA fans fixate on such worthless stats?

In other news, Sacramento up 16 late in the 4th, Buddy Hield having a nice game and WCS just crushing without DC.

Anyone else watched Sacramento? That team seems to play with much more energy and Cauley Stein suddenly explode.

It's too bad the Celtics could've done a much better job with Cousins in their lineup surrounded by IT4, Smart, Crowder, and Horford.

They'd destroy the Rockets. They'd also crush the Raptors tomorrow. Only in my dreams though  ::) ::) ::)

Well in the two recent games without DM, Sac so far have looked like a better/different team ..

worth pointing out that Cousins was only -13 in the game.  Davis was -31. 

Also, I didn't realize New Orleans had signed Hollis Thompson.  I think that could work out for them long term.  Good to have a quality shooter on the bench.

So supposedly one of the reasons Sacramento did the deal they did, was so they would be a worse team this year and improve their pick. If they play better without Cousins for the rest of the year, that will just be another thing they did wrong.

I don't think you can really judge the pairing until a month or two after Gentry inevitably gets fired
I'm bitter.

Philly owns a pick swap with Sacramento.

Of course not. It's always someone else to blame, never Cousins.

I've disliked Gentry since well before Cousins getting traded there.  He has no idea how to use Anthony Davis, never mind Davis paired with Cousins.  Bring in a coach that knows how to utilize big men properly (and can get a team to defend 3 pointers at a better-than-league-worst level) and that pairing might actually work.
