Show Notes
DeMarcus Cousins' below average season numbers. These include his recent hot streak.
Old post about DeMarcus Cousins' flaws. Worth noting I include a massive defensive bump for him.
Steph Curry and Ray Allen are only two players in NBA history to take over 600 three-pointers in a season at over 40%

Warriors and Spurs are both currently all-time great teams.
Mike wiLQ's excellent post average NBA career length.
We talk the "Brocato Prime", which is the best six seasons in a player's career. It's a number we like using for comparing great player.
Make sure you listen to last week's show with Storm head coach Jenny Boucek, it was incredible.
He now coaches the Cavs...
The TrueHoop podcast on David Blatt's firing.
We reference a rumor about LeBron James trying to fire Spoelstra. Since we spoke, more information has come out indicating this is likely untrue.
Dan Ariely's post on "Surge Pricing."
When you're in Hollywood and you're a comedian, everybody wants you to do things besides comedy. They say, 'OK, you're a stand-up comedian -- can you act? Can you write? Write us a script?'... It's as though if I were a cook and I worked my ass off to become a good cook, they said, 'All right, you're a cook -- can you farm?'-Mitch Hedberg
The Cavs boycotted the game against Portland, which was not good for Blatt.
Patrick's post on what players were snubbed out of being All-Star starters.
My post on why it's fine to be mad about All-Star snubs.
Shout Outs
Brian shouts out Bryan Stork's player interview of the year.
Thanks to the twitch.tv comment section (andrew_sutton and xiano51 this week) for some fun All-Star comments.
Thanks to the BoxscoreGeeks' comment section who got into a thread about Sid Moncrief recently!
I shout out comedian Hari Kondabolu (@harikondabolu). I also talk the super fanboy tweet I made about him recently.
Won't lie @harikondabolu on @midnight is the best episode of the season. Maybe ever. https://t.co/Qx70Jel5uM
