    DeMarcus Cousins May Sit Out Rest of Kings Road Games but Play at Home

    Apparently George Karl wants to experiment with different lineups on the road but go with a normal lineup in front of the home folks.

    "I said, 'Instead of thinking about shutting it down, let's try to find some days that you can get your body rested.' We might schedule a piece of our games and [rest Cousins] again," coach George Karl said. "It gives me an opportunity to experiment a little bit. At home, I'd like to go in and [let Cousins play] every game. But on the road, I might experiment a little bit more." He's likely out on Wednesday, but the Kings do have three home games from Apr. 3-7. After that, four of their final five games will be on the road.

    i don't get why this guy would say a word about resting...your team is a joke you dont get to "rest".

    Just report an injury and sit out.

    So much for that!

    DeMarcus Cousins will play against the Rockets in Houston on Wednesday.

    Coach George Karl said on Monday he would think about resting Cousins on the road, so this is a mild surprise. Cousins' fantasy owners can start him tonight in what should be a productive game with Rudy Gay (concussion) out. The other Kings' players aren't going to have as high of a ceiling.

    Yep, monstrous 24 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists. And the Kings covered the spread despite Harden scoring 51.

    a good job?

    man you must have low expectations...

    set the bar a little higher bro

    in what way are the Hornets a success????

    Winning record? nope

    playoffs ? doubtful

    star player? get the fawk outta here

    who gonna pay money to see that garbage product?

    when teams come to play the Hornets they view it as a chance to rest their starters.

    Why everybody think cousins is really that big of a factor? That fool olays in garbage times to rack up stats all the time. Dont give a shit about him.. His attitude sucks and his basketiq is very low. Guy use muscles to intimidate other players but it dont usually work. Hes just a bit better than that garbage JT.

    I think he'll eventually ask for a trade within the next 3 years. His best team mate in his career has been Rudy Gay ffs, he needs some help.

    LOL that is so true.

    He is one lazy mother fukker. Guy needs a coach that will make him work hard and play some defense.

    George Karl cannot motivate these players he is an old fat balding white man and these men are young and black... they need someone they can relate to. Someone they can look to for guidance. Somebody like the coach for UCONN would be a perfect fit.

    Cousins can be his worst enemy, but I disagree with argument that he has a low basketball IQ. No, he'll never be a Sabonis or Gasol, but he's proving himself to be an adept passer and the offense works when it runs through him.

    The problem is that the Kings' starting pg, McCallum, is still learning the role. His tendency is to want to push the pace (other Kings want to run too), which effectively makes the big guy the last to cross half court. What's more, outside of Gay, who can be streaky and take wild shots, the Kings don't have many guys that can create their own offense. There's a lot of running back and forth without positive results and Cousins is never going to fair well in that kind of game.

    If the Kings had a seasoned PG starting at the helm, they'd know to slow the pace, run plays through Cousins and let him generate quality opportunities or to wait and let Cousins set a semi truck screen for them. 95% of the teams in the NBA do not have a one on one solution to stopping Cousins.

    Cousins is used to being the man on any team he has ever played. I saw him play in high school a few times in the state championship. He just needs to be the second best player on the team to be a winner, he can't be the best player on a team and win it all
