30Q: Will DeMarcus Cousins Have Attitude Problems?
We're asking 30 questions about the Kings' 2010-11 season.
The world -- well, the basketball world -- will be watching DeMarcus Cousins to see if he will at some point blow up and make the Kings look like idiots for "rolling the dice" with him. Some may actually be rooting for a DeMarcus detonation, particularly those GMs who passed on DMC and the fans of those GMs' teams. And yes, I am talking about Minnesota.
Boogie is not a criminal -- he's never had so much as a slap on the wrist, something not all of his heralded University of Kentucky teammates could say. Boogie is not a diva -- no one has been more glowing in their review of Cousins than high school coach Otis Hughley and college coach John Calipari. Boogie is feisty, an attribute that lives on the Soft-Tough Scale, somewhere toward "spicy" but higher than "tame." He's not tame. If that's a bad sign, call me Susie.
But still, the conventional wisdom remains: Cousins is a ticking timebomb. Is that all complete bullsh-t? Is it all made up? Or are we blinded by our love for team and hope for tomorrow that we ignore the signs supposedly staring us in the face?

I want to see how he responds to his first few technicals
and how he responds when he is getting abused by someone. Thats why I think having a Dalembert will help, because it won’t be like Hawes where he is the only center on the roster and minutes are essentially given to him
Phil Jackson, after treatment for a kidney stone "When the anesthesiologist leaned over me, he said "We named your kidney stone Kobe because it's not passing."
Those frames may not get him suspended, but an ejection is fair.

Right after the draft, former Nets president Rod Thorn said he wasn’t concerned about Cousins’ attitude. He also said they passed on him because they had Lopez and thought they couldn’t play together, but Thorn admitted that if he had needed a center, he wouldn’t have hesitated to take Cousins.
That's cool, though forgive me if Rod Thorn's assurances don't mean much to me.

Yo Susie!
I’m not calling you Susie because I disagree with you. I’m calling you Susie because for some reason you believe that Bullsh-t is somehow less offensive than Bullshit.
I’m sorry, but if you know what Bullshit means, you know that Bullsh-t means the same thing and if you don’t know what Bullshit means, you don’t know what Bullsh-t means either.
Man up and go for Bullshit. It means the same thing, and it’s spelled correctly.
As for Boogie. I predict that he’ll get 3 Ts called on him this season. All after the All-Star break. Zero suspensions.

Cousins will make the usual rookie/young man errors
And they will get blown up and out a bit by those that are waiting in the weeds for such behavior. Think Brandon Jennings plus 110 pounds.

DMC Steal of draft
Of course DMC will have growing pains. I think in his first year he is going to be hard pressed to get many minutes. I mean come on he is 19 and it just cracks me up when people say he has this and that, is a head case, is going to blow up. HELLO he is 19, how many 19 year olds have issues and things to figure out. Bottom line he has more skills and talent than anyone in the draft.., He would have gone 1 without all the BS, A big with great footwork, can shoot outside, pass and likes to bang. 3 years from now he will be one of the best centers in the NBA if not the best. With him and Evans the Kings will be great for a long time…………..
I disagree with
I think in his first year he is going to be hard pressed to get many minutes.
He’s our high 1st round pick. I’d be shocked if he didn’t gety at least 15 minutes a game. You don’t strand that kind of talent on the bench.

If you think between 24 and 28 is enough

I voted no.
Boogie has something to prove to his sceptics, and a few nba GMs. Although I think he might have a rough first year with the refs.
I dont think he will get suspended but he may struggle at times
Rookie big men usually struggle in the beginning and he will probably have a few flare ups but nothing drastic. As the season wears on I hope it becomes a non issue.
It will be interesting to see how the refs treat him since he comes into the league with a reputation for some reason. The Jennings reference from above is probably the best idea of things.
Who the hell is Scott Howard Cooper ?
I just read on NBA.com the kings summer report card. We got a C-. WTF? He also said we finished with the worst record in the league. AND is one of those tools talking up DMCs “maturity issues and questions about his work ethic”. Ignorant assholes like this guy are who DMC is out to prove wrong. Just my opinion.
Are we there yet ?
He could have given us an A or a F and it wouldn't change how many games we won this year
I don’t understand why people get so up in arms over stuff like that.

I have a hard time seeing how screwing up on the Kings having "the third worst record" shows he lacks professional integrity.
True made a mistake but it doesn’t really change much in his analysis. So is he lying? Being malicious? Unfair? Should he publicly apologize for the offense of mistaking the third worse record for the worst record? Am I missing something?

personally, I like the nickname "Boogie"
It is warm and friendly. It describes someone who can shake and bake and is light on his feet. And it sounds “big”.
Once thing about this kid is he is charismatic. He draws attention. He has a great scowl and an equally effective smile. I also like the reference to Brandon Jennings in that if he was on another team I would be more eager to demean him. As he is a King, I bias towards elevating his picadillos.
He is a kid and his emotions run hot and cold. He has a lot of learning to do and increased scrutiny is going to make it that much tougher for him as his smallest twitch will magnified and courtesy of the internet rolled in thorns. He will lead the Kings in Technicals as well as this rookie class. I will gladly take that as it will advance the new image of the Kings as tougher, scrappier and crankier. I see one suspension – when he haymakers Daniel Orton (just kidding).

But I think that Boogie is it.

Disturbing association
Boogie at least fits his style, but as for a nickname I agree its a little weak. Beats the living hell out of “Big Baby”, though. And here’s a quick question- if DMC ends up amounting to Glen Davis 2.0, does Minny get the last laugh or is that worth a high draft pick (especially considering the current depth at his position…)

Ok.. since we have more or less read everything about Cousins temper
why not reading one more thing?
“With the Sun in a square aspect to Mars in your chart, your basic sense of self-identity and purpose conflicts with your more aggressive and self-assertive drives. You have a great deal of energy and drive and can work hard for long periods, but when things do not go your way you can over-react and vent your frustration on friends, family and co-workers. You are impatient with any kind of restriction.
You need to learn to compromise, and recognise that others have needs just as strong as your own. You have a strong desire nature, but may find that you are continually frustrated in your attempts to satisfy your desires, probably as a result of your refusal to compromise. You will tend to react angrily to any challenge to your integrity.
Having said all this, if you can overcome the negative manifestations, this aspect gives you a tremendous drive to succeed in whatever it is you have set your heart on, and a tireless energy that will eventually get you to your goal."
Yeap, that’s astrology about “Sun-Mars Square”. DMC has it, LOL.

Do I think DeMarcus Cousins will be suspended?
No.
Do I think DeMarcus Cousins will lead the team in Technical Fouls? Yes.
I also think he’ll lead the team in Points and Rebounds per 36 minutes but that’s just me.
Author of the Pick and Scroll. Follow me on Twitter here.
I think the second half of the season he should be great for his per 36
It make take him a little bit to adjust to the games but with his amount of talent he will figure it out.
I agree
I think that he will lead in T’s, but most of them will be based off of reputation. Many of Rasheed’s T’s were just because he was Rasheed, and most other players would have gotten away with what he was doing, but his reputation made the refs whistles quick. I expect the same for DMC.
He is who he is.
DMC is a 19 year old big man with special gifts with some immaturity and conditing issues. About the only thing uncommon in that last sentence is the “special gifts” part. I hope for the best but prepared for the worse (although ticking time bomb isn’t exactly how I woudl describe it). I do know though that, being a Kings fan, I don’t plan on writing him off the first time there are some bumps on the road.

Cousins
He’ll get techs, he might even see a suspension. I don’t think he will, but who knows. What I’ll be watching more is how he reacts to refs. He can get mad at other players all he wants, I’m fine with that. I just don’t want him complaining to the refs, a la JT.
When discussing two opposing point of views, the truth often lies somewhere in the middle.
Test, Test, Test . . .
It would have seemed that Bill Lambeer already tested Cous in Vegas. (Such a class act, lil’ Billy.) That is not likely to stop this coming season if and when Mr. Cousins is doing well and teams will try anything to throw him off his game. And Refs are going to make themselves known based on what they’ve already heard whether right or wrong. And the Kings coaches are preparing DeMarcus to expect the worst and not take it as personal as it may seem to be. And yet he is passionate about the game which causes his nasty looking frown which will come off as temperamental. So yea, he’s going to get all sorts of calls. But I don’t believe he’ll desire all of them. He is young, inexperienced and already has a target on his back.
I never watched Artest for "attitude issues" before he came to the Kings but I found him very classy with all the quick calls he would get. Bibby and Miller could have learned from him and yet they never got called for their sour puss protests. If the Kings organization was responsible for Artest’s "just play" response to bad calls, hopefully they will do the same for our young passionate Big Guy!
I expect
No suspensions. But a significant amount of frustration for him and us, while his mental game catches up to his physical skills. Which is fine; he’s 19.
Hawes never had any major blowups, but I’d argue that his attitude was what got him a one-way ticket to Philly. He’s still a young, talented seven footer who could also be described as feisty. But he didn’t show signs of improving attitude as he aged. He didn’t improve his strength, he didn’t see the need to play tougher, he never committed to anchoring the interior D. He wanted consistent minutes, but didn’t do the hard work necessary to earn them.
I think DMC will have to walk a similar path, hopefully with better results. His leash is longer, because his talent is greater. He’ll have to check his ego – we all have them, particularly at his age – and focus on improving conditioning, learning from coaches/vets, accepting a role, and defense, rather than trying to prove his star quality from the word go. If he can do those things, he’ll have the opportunity to be great even if his fiery disposition does earn him a T or suspension here and there.
by furious.d on Sep 7, 2010 12:47 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
DMC will likely...
follow the lead and on-court demeanor of Tyreke, who is one cool cat. I don’t see real temper issues. I also don’t expect any blow-ups with refs because DMC plays the right way in the paint. He does not try to dislodge defenders. He uses power, finesse, and footwork. He is not an uncoordinated player prone to run over a player, then beg for a whistle, a la JT, as example. So I expect DMC and refs will get along relatively well.
If DMC does get into skirmish, it will be with an opposing player who gets under his skin, like a Chris Kaman, a Louis Scola, or NeNe type. Andrew Bynum and DMC will not be BFFs either. These guys are going to wage some battles down low.
I do envision double technicals being called on DMC vs. aforementioned counterparts multiple times through the year. When you are 280+ pounds and not timid about throwing your weight around, and you are a heralded rookie looking to make a name for yourself, attention will follow.
I predict JT puts up 7/5 next year.
kind of nit picky of me but whatever
DMC will likely… follow the lead and on-court demeanor of Tyreke, who is one cool cat
If there is one thing I have noticed about DMC is that he doesn’t really follow anyone’s lead. Call him a loner or a leader or whatever but the guy really is one of those guys who seems to want to stand out and do things his own way, for better or for worse.

shotout to DMC
just met DMC this past friday at this campus party at the university of maryland. It just so happens that im a kings fan @ umd, but he wasnt too hard to miss either. Dude is huge but he looked slimmer than i expected… For everyone who talks about how DMC dances, those claims are all fact dude likes to dance forreal. It makes since that this vid comes out and hes ballin at GTOW, meaning he is still spending time in the DC area.
I don't think Cousins will get suspended
(even if the refs may single him out with bad foul calls because of his rep), but I do have a list of people I want him to destroy… and I’m not too particular if he does it on court or off it. Ok, I would prefer if he did it on court. At least I’ll get to watch it on SportsCenter.
This.
No, I don't think he'll get suspended
…But I believe he’ll allow some vets to get under his skin while he’s playing, this season. It might effect his game in the form of frustration fouls, ala the Thompson syndrome. Other than that, I don’t believe he’ll get suspended for anything like that.

DMC's suspension
Will come after he has a public tiff with Westphal in the media. The suspension won’t come from that but from when Boogie sends Westie into the 4th row with the make up pregame chest bump.

Suspension? Maybe.
I’d guess it’s 50-50 as to whether he gets suspended. But I’m sure we’ll see quite a bit of annoying/disruptive behavior. It was pretty evident in Summer League play that it’s not difficult to get under Boogie’s skin. And I think we’ll see Brad Miller-type whining and antics (headband throws and frustration fouls) plus 20 percent. That’s my guess. I really disliked Brad for that crap, I hope it’s not quite as frustrating to watch Boogie.
The difference
DMC likes, IMO, the back and forth. When he gets riled up it feeds his game. He gets more focused and more into making the other team lose.
If you look at that Summer League game where get went back and forth, jawing and talking smack, he took over the game and, again IMO, it was because of how they tried to get under his skin. He wanted to make them pay and he did.
If teams figure out that he gets more intense and better when they try to dish him crap they should back off. Probably take a few games, but you don’t want to help one of the other teams best players.
I didn't major in Common F-cking Sense, but ...
Good points
But I don’t know that it’s good for him to try to take over games to make personal statements at this point. Also, it’s not going to be as easy to ‘make them pay’ when the other player and the other team are much better than the player(s) who Big Cuz made pay (had you ever heard of, or can you recall the name of now, the player with whom Cuz was tussling?). And that could get pretty frustrating – he’s not really faced that before, I’d imagine.
But I see you point that the back and forth gets DMC goin’; whereas Brad was totally taken out of the game and gave up.
Cool, I do see this as a much different scenario
I actually think that DMC getting more intense can be a good thing if it is channeled right.
When I think of players who can get super intense it seems like the last thing teams want to do is set them off. Not comparing here, but does anybody really want to get KG more intense and motivated? I don’t think so. If DMC can channel his intensity into his game like he did during the Summer League that is awesome.
I want a player who puts there stamp on the game. DMC can be that type of player. He is that talented. If a coach tries to intentionally provoke him, which is what happened against the Timberwolves, then I want to see him use that in a positive way. I want to see him go out, kick their butts, and win us some games.
I didn't major in Common F-cking Sense, but ...
It was more than just a player tussling
Theus and Lambeer had Greg Stiemsma bumping and pushsing DMC around at the end of the first half. Only to have him go off for 22 points, 12 rebounds, and five assists.
Cousins had a message for Minnesota’s summer league coach Reggie Theus at halftime.
“He was like ‘We got into his head,’” Cousins said. “I was like thank you coach, I’m going to kill you this half. And after the game I was like told you I was going to kill you this half. That’s all that was.”
Cousins did by hitting the game winning shot on a jump hook with 2.8 seconds left in the game for a 79-78 win.
As Theus exited the gym, Cousins told him “good game” showing he knows how to leave the emotions of a game on the floor.

as emotional as he seems to be ...
I think he’s going to rub some officials the wrong way and I think there’s a pretty decent chance he’s going to get Teed up … maybe even enough to incur a mandatory suspension.
Boogie
will be just fine. You will all come to love him if you dont already. He is absolutely amazing on and off the court. He is a beast on the floor that does not take shit off anyone and in my opinion that is a good thing.
Will he get suspended? I doubt it, but if it does happen, I’d hate to be “the other guy.”
