DeMarcus Cousins was suspended for two games by the NBA for confronting Spurs broadcaster Sean Elliott two nights ago in Sacramento, postponing the first meeting between the two best centers in the Western Conference.
Jason Thompson started at center for the Kings as they faced the Lakers, who continued to woo Phil Jackson but were covering their bases by interviewing other candidates, including Mike D’Antoni and Mike Dunleavy, to replace the fired Mike Brown.
So what exactly happened between Cousins and Elliott?
From Mike Monroe of the San Antonio Express-News: “After overpowering Duncan for two baskets and drawing a shooting foul on the Spurs star with about five minutes left, Cousins bellowed to his teammates on the Kings’ bench after drawing a shooting foul on the future Hall of Famer. Elliott paraphrased Cousins as saying, “I’m going to bust his (expletive).” Elliott responded after Duncan blocked a Cousins shot at the rim and scored three baskets. “That’s why some humility is in order,” Elliott said on the air. “You think you’re dominating Tim Duncan, you get it stuffed right back in your face. Timmy doesn’t like to talk trash. But if guys start talking mess to him, he’s going to respond. All that trash talking was premature. I’m not about to let these guys off the hook. Young ballclub should learn from this. Don’t start talking and flapping your gums against one of the greatest players ever. He’s going to make you pay. Tell me who got the best of this exchange.” Apparently informed postgame of Elliott’s remarks, Cousins appeared on the court in his uniform and confronted Elliott after he and broadcaster Bill Land completed their postgame show. “I was wondering why Cousins was out there in his uniform waiting for them to finish his postgame show,” said Bill Schoening, who does the play-by-play call on radio broadcasts of Spurs games. “Then I saw them in an animated conversation out on the court. “I observed Sean walk away from Cousins and Cousins continue to talk to Sean as he left the scene, but I couldn’t hear what was being said.”

An interesting discussion is worth comment. I do believe
that you ought to publish more on this issue, it might not
be a taboo subject but typically people do not discuss such subjects.
To the next! Cheers!!

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter
to be really something which I think I would never understand.
It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am
looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the
hang of it!

If there’s ever been anybody in NBA circles that’s deserved to be punched in the face, it’s Sean Elliott and Bill Land. The most nauseatingly atrocious over-the-top hollering homer shill combo in the NBA, followed close behind by Craig Bolerjack and Matt Harpring, and Fred McLeod and Austin Carr. Cousins should coldcock all six of them.

Well, I admit Sean and Bill are a bias pair but D. cous need to calm down. He’s such a nice young player and I want to see him suceed. He’s letting other gets under his skin too often. Control your temper and sky is the limit for you, young man!
