The Sacramento Kings (2-3) go as their sometimes moody All-Star center goes.In the span of a week, DeMarcus Cousins has picked up the first of what will surely be many technical fouls, has gotten fined for throwing his mouthpiece halfway into the stands at Sacramentos Golden 1 Center and walking into the bleachers to retrieve it and, probably most damaging to his team, picked up six fouls in the fourth quarter of Sacramentos overtime loss to the Miami Heat on Tuesday, sitting out the final five minutes of the 108-96 loss.Cousins can produce. Even in defeat and without the overtime, Cousins scored 30 points, putting shot blocker Hassan Whiteside on his heels and in foul trouble on his way to 18 free throw attempts. He is averaging 26.8 points per game and 9.6 rebounds per game.For all of Cousins gaudy statistics, his emotions still get the best of him at times. And the Sacramento Kings suffer for their star players still inconsistent demeanor.For the Kings to take the next step after their first 30-win season since 2008 last year, Cousins is going to have to carry the load on his broad shoulders.It is why incidents like the Saturdays mouthpiece toss and Tuesdays fouling out in all of 12 minutes seem to hurt his team even more these days.Cousins is too important to be on the sideline.The Kings are 4.6 points per 100 possessions better with Cousins on the floor than their opponents, according to NBA.coms stats database. They score a team-best 109.9 points per 100 possessions with Cousins on the floor. Their season average is 100.9.His over aggression and physicality can sometimes cost him -- he committed three offensive fouls in the fourth quarter including the dubious push off with 30 seconds that left him out for the overtime.But Cousins is the offensive player everyone has to prepare for and focus on.Hes a very good player, Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic said Wednesday. Probably the best big man we have in the NBA right now. Hes very dominant. Playing really great for the past few seasons. Obviously a big load down there. Well have to do our best to limit him as best we can.Vucevic will draw the primary responsibility on Cousins when the Magic (1-3) take on the Kings at the Amway Center in Orlando on Thursday. Serge Ibaka and Bismack Biyombo will surely get their turns too.The Magics front court combination has not quite delivered results for them. The teams summer transformation was supposed to bring with it a stronger interior defense. So far, the Magic are giving up 106.6 points per 100 possessions, sixth worst in the NBA.Orlando scraped out its first win of the season Tuesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers, leading for less than 25 seconds in a 103-101 win after Ibaka hit a pair of free throws with one second left.The Magic now face a tougher task dealing with Cousins.The question as always when the Kings roll into town is which Cousins will they and their opponents get? Is it the one that is a focused, dominant low post scorer that sucks up energy and frees up shooters? Or is it the one that loses his cool and costs his team in important moments?The Kings go as their All Star DeMarcus Cousins goes so far this season. Gary Harris Nuggets Jersey .

Philadelphia was handed a 6-3 loss by the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday afternoon before dropping a 4-1 decision to the Rangers the following night in New York City. Jonny Gray believes Argentina have become one of the most dangerous sides in the world after sharpening their claws on their southern hemisphere rivals.The Scotland lock has been impressed by the South Americans since they were admitted to the Rugby Championship back in 2014.They have already recorded wins over both Australia and South Africa and this year had the All Blacks worried when they lead for half an hour in Hamilton before eventually succumbing to a late onslaught.But Gray is concerned the Pumas could now pounce on his side when the Scots welcome Argentina to Murrayfield for Saturdays autumn Test clash.He said: Are they up there with the best sides in the world now? Id say so. Argentina are a great team. They can attack from anywhere. Look at the players they have got - guys like Agustin Creevy, some of their backs and their huge wingers, so they have some dangerous strike runners.They are always keeping the ball alive so you can never switch off. When it comes to facing them up front, in the scrum and in the line-out its going to be a huge challenge. Across the board we have to be switched on.You just have to look at some of their recent results in the Rugby Championship to realise they are a world-class side. They beat South Africa and then pushed New Zealand all the way.We have to be on it from minute one to the final whistle. We need to be clever, we cant be coughing up ball to them.But while the Glasgow forwardd is preparing to face a side who have made significant strides forward in recent years, he believe he still has some way to go before he himself can claim to be among the worlds top performers.ddddddddddddGray has been tipped for a call-up to the British and Irish Lions squad set to tour New Zealand next summer. His performance in Saturdays loss to Australia where he made all of his 24 tackles stick will have only improved his chances of making Warren Gatlands travel party.But Gray is not putting too much emphasis on the statistics.The 22-year-old said: I dont look at numbers. As a defence we all work for each other. Whoever is there makes the tackle and whoever misses the tackle is there to help clean up. We play for each other, we play with a lot of heart, so its a team effort, always.Im just lucky Ive got the coaches at Glasgow and Scotland who will sit down with me and show me where I can improve my game. Its really special getting to play for your country and to come up against some of the best second-rows in the world like we did at the weekend against Australia.Its a great opportunity to test yourself against these guys. I think Ive got a lot to improve on and a long way to go before Im at that level.But Im lucky Ive got players around me pushing me on. Were always pushing each other here. ' ' '
