DeMarcus Cousins Finally Returns

DeMarcus Cousins has finally returned, which means the NBA season is over. The Warriors officially have 5 all-stars, first time since the 1975-76 Boston Celtics. That Boston Celtics team went on to go 54-28 and won the finals in 6 games. The Warriors have won 3 of the last 4 NBA championships with the 5 one on its way. If the Warriors win this year, they will become the 6th team ever to win 3 championships in a row.

Cousins made his return against the Clippers on Friday, the arena was mainly Warriors fan to help welcome Cousin's return. DeMarcus Cousins started his first game back, he played 15 minutes and got 14 points, 6 rebounds, and made 3 3-pointers. This is huge because Green has become a huge liability from 3point, shooting at 25.6%, this has caused some problems for the Warriors. Without Green being a factor from 3point land, teams have sagged off Green and made the Warriors easier to guard. With Cousins back the floor will spread even more, and gives the Warriors more spacing and more options from long-range. The Warriors also set a lot of screens for Curry, Durant, and Klay, with Cousins being 6'11", tall he will help set more picks for these guys and get them even more open than before. Cousins will help bring the Warriors to the next step and become one of the most dominate teams we will ever see in our lifetime.

On the court Cousins had a tremendous effect, he was tied for 2nd highest +/- on the team, with 21. This means with Cousins on the floor, the Warriors outscored the Clippers by 21 points, he only played 15 minutes. Cousins also fouled out during the game, and he got a standing ovation from his team and the crowd.

After the game, Cousins had a postgame interview where he said that "Felt like a kid on Christmas. It's been a long journey. This is probably one of the best days of my life." DeMarcus is happy and that should terrify the league. Throughout his career, he has had attitude problems which have prevented him from reaching his full potential as a teammate. His team even loves him, with Curry and Thompson dumping Gatorade all over Cousins, after the game. With Cousins excited, and his teammates loving him, it will be easy for the Warriors to integrate Cousins into their system and become the most dominate team in the league.

Like it or not the Warriors are going to win again, even though you might try to talk yourself into another team. The Warriors have been the most dominate team we've seen since 2015, and one of the most dominating teams we will ever see in our life. They have 5 Allstars, who are all eager to play together and are ready to take over the league. This Warriors team has potential to become the greatest team of all time. Cousins is still not even at mid-season form and when he reaches it, it's impossible to know how dominating the Warriors are going to be. So grab a seat and enjoy watching one of the best teams of all time, love them or hate them they don't care they are going to win a championship.
