These are the two things we know right now.

At some point, the Che Guevara thing needs to make way for practicality. We love Boogie because he is like no other, and I don't want to see that squelched. But the Kings really can't afford losing him for two games like this. He needs to be able to perform on the court more than he needs to be vindicated.

2. How on Earth did the Kings let this happen?

First of all, who told Cousins what Elliott said? Who was watching the Spurs' broadcast or sitting next to Elliott on press row and shared that info with Boogie? I'm legitimately curious. Was it a Kings employee? If so, UMMMMM. PLEASE DON'T DO THAT. Maybe it was one of Cousins' friends or managers who was around.

This is not the first team culture issue, and it won't be the last. But it's just gross to see the team act so … inept in all facets. Cousins can't escape blame for putting himself in a dangerous position: he did that, and he's suffering the consequences. But we need to be asking where the Hades this club's management is in all of this, too.
