On the other hand, Cousins or any other player shouldn't lower their game just because it is a well-established player like Duncan. These players are uber-competitive, show much emotion like Cousins and let's face it, trash talking is part of the game.

A pretty sweet gig indeed, but that doesn’t mean it comes completely free of drawbacks. For example, in Friday’s game against the Kings, Green found himself the last line of defense between a charging DeMarcus...
