Now, unfortunately for Houston, boogie Cousins only got to see the floor from Kentucky buddies, right?

Yeah, cousins picking Paul brief entanglement.

You had friends between the lines fall.

If you went to Kansas and I went to Kansas or mutual respect because we went to the same school, were along with E.

Come on, come on, guys in the NBA.

I mean, they were all they were all at Kentucky for 8.5 minutes e rep.

So it's like, Are you really where you're getting the second technical saying Cousins gave quote a no overt gesture.

Directed that an official in resentment of a non call Richard, You think boogies ejection was warranted based on his actions?

Is this like Tim Duncan smiling or whatever that is?

And look, I think everyone will understand that you get a little leeway when your boogie cousins and you're a multi time all star and you're averaging 25 points a game.

Antics are allowed.

We've seen it with other players.

We don't need to go and say names like Draymond or need to say, you know, other names where, like you've seen, like, antics allowed to a certain degree.

Because you've earned that, right?

Yeah, sometimes.

But when you have an individual that is now hasn't played in two years and is now coming off the bench the same antics that were allowed two years ago when you and our star are not allowed right now, I don't think that he would have been thrown out of the game if it was two years ago when he was 25 points a game.

Yeah, I'm telling you, it means you get 25 a game, so okay, but lookie, lookie being thrown out of games for a while now, I think two years old, he's in the same stratosphere.

Is Rasheed Wallace?

Yeah.

I mean, you think Oh, dogs are gonna learn new tricks, but they're not.

But you have to give him a longer rope because you already know he's gonna be demonstrative.

You know, he's gonna play with a lot of emotion.

So he needs a little a little bit more rope than some of these other guys like Germany needs a little more rope.

You know he's gonna do it.

But is it worth throwing a guy out the game if it's really not that necessary?

Yeah, You put a hand on somebody.

Okay, That's one tech but a look or stare down or a couple of when you averaging 25.

Paul, you get you get a who averages a lot of text, right?

You made the comparison to shed, right?

So if you are someone who has a history of technical fouls like, let's say you are the officials a little bit tricker tell you this If I'm the coach and you out here getting double technicals in the game and you're only giving me, like, seven points a game, I'm hot.

Oh, my God.

You just took away two point like E.

Now you're giving me man.

That's five points that you ain't got me.

E could take it from somebody her to whistle on.

Someone who has a history.

No.

Yes, they are.

But they're also mawr.

They are allow mawr with a person.

If you are an all star and you are running off and saying these stuff they give because they don't want to throw the all Star of the game.

They don't want.

They understand there's different rules, Richard for different players.

And no, I'm not saying that the NBA that Richard wouldn't know about these things.

The calls you get, you know, the lead way.

We're not getting text he wouldn't know about.

Yeah, look, every foul that he got, he earned it.

Everyone, everyone but no look, Boogie cousins again.

This is like what we talked about players that have had to adjust over the course of their career understanding.

You know, let's say like a Carmelo, let's say guys that as they careers have, you know, changed and adjusted, it takes that moment.

Boogie Cousins, You're not going to get away with the same stuff you did when you were averaging 25 points a game and you're an all star.

You're not.

Even if you've always done it, you're not going to get away with it because I couldn't get a call.

No, no.

Get a call.

Your difference with, like Celtics, Wizards versus Clippers, Clippers.

I couldn't get you.

That's what I'm saying.

It happens.

Adjustment on that may be the end of that discussion.

E.
