A Recap:
After the first quarter, the Kings outscored the Clippers by 15 points for the rest of the game. Unfortunately for the team from Sacramento, they were outscored by 16 in the first quarter and the Clippers ended up winning by one, 103-102.
Just based on the fact that the Kings couldn't overcome that first quarter margin despite how well they generally played the rest of the game, you could understand the angst that one Demarcus Cousins might feel after yet another loss. Also, starting out the season 4 and 9 despite the additions of key playmakers in Greivis Vasquez and Carl Landry, is probably not what Cousins had anticipated after choosing to resign with the Kings this past offseason.
Demarcus had a beast of game with his 23-19-7 line (pts, reb, ast), but his technical at around the 2 minute mark was costly and you could argue his big night was all but wasted since the Kings couldn't pull out what would have been their biggest win of the season had they beaten the Pacific-leading Clippers at home.
With that in mind, you can kind of see why Cousins was a bit salty and wouldn't let his buddy, Isaiah Thomas shake handsies.

Some Defense:
Killer chasedown blocks last night featuring
Shumpert gettin' Wall-ed (too easy?)
Kent "no wayz, mo williams" Bazemore

Dang:
In terms of basketball things, it must be really scary finding yourself on an island trying to guard Lebron one on one at the end of the game.
In terms of basketball injuries, an egg on the forehead like Jeremy Lin got from one of Kevin Love's elbows is pretty bad, but I find it most hilarious cause it resembles the head bumps in the cartoons we grew up watching.
Another Recap: Spurs beat up on the Cavs and had a lot of fun in the process.
First, Matt Bonner playin the point on a possession (via poundingtherock)
and then the big three being silly on the bench (thanks, Dime)

Good Stats:
Kenneth Faried was puhfect shooting from the field (8-8) for 18 points along with 14 rebounds as the Nugs are now at .500.
Andrew Bogut tried to fight again, but he probabbly should have focused on helping stop Lamarcus Aldridge who was doing everything on way to a career night of 30 points, 21 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3 steals.
Best for Last:
So much to like here, from Al Horford's shotput pass to Vitor Favrani obviously not closing out properly to Jared Sullinger barely gettin' off the ground on that honorable block attempt.
Other: Steph Curry with kind of a mask on...my fave nba team colors will be back next season as Charlotte will be wearing the purple and teal once again...whether or not you care for Woody Allen, doesn't James Dolan sound kind of like a spoiled bum?
This was a good update LOL spurs
