Cousins isn't a ticking time bomb....

[Joe Norris]

No really, I swear

Sacramento Kings rookie DeMarcus Cousins got into an altercation with teammate Donte Greene after Cousins didn't get the ball on the final possession of a 99-97 loss to Oklahoma City Saturday night, two league sources said, with one source adding that Cousins was not allowed to join the team for its flight to Phoenix for a game Sunday night.

He'll probably say those reports are N-O-T-H-I-N-G to rely on; and you should trust Slimy Cal when he tells you he was drafted in Kentcuky's biggest day in the history of historic days.

He is a high character kid, and a very emotional kid. Emphasis here on kid.

I'm not saying he isn't immature at times, he certainly is. Plus, while the Kings aren't the worst franchise out there, they're far from the best. Cousins isn't used to losing. That's almost as big of a transition as NBA life in general to a 19-20 year old kid that is used to winning.
