The thing about Westphal

Is it seemed like he coddled Tyreke from the get-go while taking a totally different approach with Cousins. It seemed like he planned out his way to deal with Cousins from day 1 & it was going to be different than everyone else.

Coach Smart from day 1 has given everyone a clean slate & seems to have treated everyone equal. This strategy has proven so far to be the smarter choice(no pun intended of course)

Five weeks ago, Westphal made Cousins look like a monster. Now Cousins is doing that job himself, on the court.

Great read. Also, I like your choice of title.

Asked if the Kings had any intention of trading Cousins, basketball president Geoff Petrie said, "No."

Thanks, but credit to TZ

DMC’s turnaround makes this Kings fan very happy. :-)

Right, the comment for the title selection was for TZ.

Appreciate your posting his piece; otherwise, I might have missed it.

It was so timely, TZ seems to have an uncanny sense of what issue is the most relevant at any point in time. Cousins’ performance as of late is highly relevant throughout the league, as well as here in Sacramento.

Yep. We Kings fans couldn’t be happier, especially in light of how this season began.

Thanks for this

And still no mention of him (or the team) anywhere on the interwebs.He makes one mistake and he gets more press than a Karda$hian. Back to back 20/20 (OK almost) games? Not a word in sight.

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.
