    Yea but the thing is, at some level there should be a basic assumption that you are playing a grown man's game. Physicality is inherit, plus the game has already been watered down from previous decades. Can you imagine if hand checking was still allowed?

    Looks to me in that interview that Cousins really wanted to call his team soft in the 2nd half.

    Some pretty swell plays from Boom Boom tonight. That block and control of the ball and the left handers he put up and scored with in the key. Solid play this year. Dumb a** moron Scott last year burying him on the bench.

    Good thing he developed and worked on all that energy/mean streak/aggressiveness in the offseason so he could get some court time this season and have an awesome game tonight......

    Oh wait...

    Great game by Tarik. 9 rebounds in 13 minutes. Efficient shooting and some hustle plays when we needed them.

    Man, Tarik is so well spoken and insightful. Dude knows basketball and is great at breaking it down for the layfolks out there! Careful, might have a post-NBA career as an analyst, Tarik!

    Having listened to some ex-players out there doing commentary, Black is better than some of them. Most are given the positions because of their name. Garnett being the most recent one.
