DeMarcus Cousins Calls Ref "Female," Gets Ejected Again

It's a tough time to be involved in any way with the Sacramento Kings. The team is a laughable 17-33, Keith Smart finds himself on the hot seat, and the franchise is more than likely relocating to Seattle following this season. Now's a good time to start tanking for next year's Shabazz campaign, if you ask me. Somehow, though, beyond all this, the team seems like they could achieve a bright future if their franchise player DeMarcus Cousins could ever get his head on straight. But, as we've seen countless times since he gained the spotlight, that's a 6'11", 270 lb "if."

DMC put his hotheadedness on display again Monday night, claiming two techs in the final three minutes of the second quarter, resulting in his league leading third ejection of the season. You'd have to imagine a dude with the league's most technical fouls (12 already, only four away from an automatic suspension) gets pretty creative with his gripes and groans, and this most recent T is a testament to just that. He had already picked up his first technical foul toward the end of the second quarter, and as the first half came to a close, Cousins saw a perfect opportunity to discuss a few calls with lead official Tre Maddox. In the words of Ron Burgundy, things escalated quickly, and Cousins was sent to the locker room after claiming Maddox was acting like an "effing female." Not sure why DMC thought he'd get away with that one, but, then again, it's pretty obvious his head isn't screwed on just right. Although his future in Sacramento is a mystery, we all know one thing for sure: When DeMarcus finally figures things out, watch out. Dude's good.
