Cousins Wins, Kings Still Lose!

The Sacramento Kings decided to part ways with veteran head coach Paul Westphal after he publicly called out immature young center DeMarcus Cousins after constantly clashing with the petulant big man, but it say right here Eye On Sports hoops fans, that the Sacramento Kings are the real losers for empowering Cousins – and all of their other players – with the ability to now tell any of the franchise’s future head coaches where to go and exactly how to get there!

The Kings were hoping that player-friendly head coach keith Smart would have an easier time relating to Cousins and while the Kentucky star is undeniably talented, it’s also crystal clear at this points that Westphal wasn’t the Kings’ most pressing problem. Sacramento has lost two straight and five of its last seven games overall under Smart and generally look like the same team they did under Westphal, even if DeMarcus Cousins doesn’t personally.
