    Dude literally with the exception of Lou will, in every position our guys seemed to be bigger on the TV screen.. it's HD don't worry but was trippin out on it when I rewatched it.

    Walton knows pretty much EXACTLY what Kerr runs, while Walton has the mystery of lil tricks/plays up his own sleeve.

    Knew black was gonna be great in this system... more confident in his offensive game,with good positioning he gets some good looks down low close to the rim. Happy for him and extend him now. Can always trade if we reach a good deal.

    Agree! And how crazy with our roster (I consider it stacked and Deep after 1st 5 whoever they are) .... that not only are we big and physical when needed but we can flat out run whenever the opportunity presents itself. Won't be no getting swept all 4 games by the Clippers this year. Book it.

    Imagine DeMarcus Cousins getting the Shaq treatment. He would go Ron Artest on somebody and be out of the league in no time.

    I loved how Tarik eventually got between them and was pushing Cousins away

    Those two played before the Olympics as well, so there's probably a bit of a backstory nobody knows

    Cousins did say during the Olympic workouts that he liked our young core...Randle, Russell and Ingram being present then.

    Yeah, I seem also to recall that he liked Randle not only for being a fellow Wildcat, but as well for having that tough, no back down personality like himself. That's why last night I'm not sure he was truly as pissed at Julius as say Chandler seemed to be a couple nights ago.

    Waiting till the game re-airs to watch. Was boogie hosed on some calls or What?

    I have noticed the league is letting us scrap some. Adam silver and broadcast stations loving us right now after some wins.

    Almost something from the Pete Carroll book, they can't call a foul on every effing position haha.

    The Kings started out with the physicality, but the Lakers fought back. Boogie was unhappy with the result, but it was all pretty clean to me.

    Why would he be mad at Randle instead of the refs?

    Anything in particular Randle did that set him off?

    Played really hard? Beat him? I think it was just an instance of the same sort of hotheadedness we've seen from Cousins forever.

    Just feel like if that's the case real then there's something that caused it behind the scenes or Randle said something during the game that Cousins took very personal(though I feel if it was Randles words during the game then Cousins woulda got in his face like that during the game).

    He was pissed apparently because the Lakers made it known they were going to play him physical.



    Lame.

    Matters came to a head after a hard double team by Randle late in the fourth. After the foul call, Randle made a point of hanging on which Cousins did not like.

    If I had to guess I think it's a possibility Cousins was disappointed and heated that Randle didn't have to put the extra mustard when battling. Let it be known he didn't appreciate it,probably said if you really wanna bang next game we can do so homie...Randle started laughing while deep down getting heated but keeping it real too and said boy I didn't do you any dirty, refs didn't call ish.

    Cousins then alright we'll see wassup next time I got you..
    Randle says iight doggie I'll be ready.

    And that's it lol.
