Boogie!!!

Well, Cousins continues to play great basketball, and the Sacramento Kings continue to suck.

Sorry, Kings fans, but the Kings still suck. Remember that glimmer of hope Kings fans had when Sacramento came out the gate strong and looking like a possibly contender this season?

Yeah… Those were the days, huh?

The Kings are on a six-game losing streak and have also lost seven of their last nine games. It’s come to the point where I have a really hard time watching the Kings, even for the enjoyment of watching terrible basketball. It’s just sad, and it doesn’t make me feel very good.

Cousins has been great all season, though. In his last two games combined, Cousins has scored 50 points and grabbed 33 rebounds.

BOOGIE!!!

Those are best-center-in-the-league-type numbers, which Cousins is in the conversation for. Even if the Kings are terrible, I still hope Cousins gets a spot in the All-Star game. He was snubbed last year after posting great numbers, and he could be snubbed again depending on which players in the West are healthy.

Cousins is having a great season. It’s just a shame Cousins is wasting his glory days on a terrible team in Sacramento. Sorry, Boogie, we’re pulling for you!
