    In his endless quest to prevent various calamities from befalling the N.B.A.’s most glamorous collection of stars, Housen left the locker room on Monday to find that Cousins was storming down the hallway in search of Durant, who was making his way off the court after his ejection and toward the locker room. Security officers, aware that trouble was brewing, quickly diverted Durant to a small corridor as several others slowed Cousins’s progress.

    “Shut the door! Shut the door!” the officers shouted at one another up and down the hallway.


    Housen, meanwhile, ran ahead of Cousins and stood in his path. Cousins, who is 6 feet 11 and 270 pounds but somehow seems even more enormous when angry, was eventually persuaded by security to return to his own locker room, and Housen (5-10, 185) resumed the far more pedestrian chore of packing equipment.

    He reflected on his act of valor/lunacy.

    “I figure if they see little old me out there, maybe they won’t do something,” he said.

    KD was probably hiding in a closet whispering "It's a good thing they holding me back!"

    Adding Cousins to this team would be great just for the potential match up with GS in the playoffs. He would essentially be our Draymond. I would love to see those two go at it for 7 games. (Probably more like 5 with the probable suspensions)

    Now I want the Pelicans and Warriors in the first round -- a brutal series with brawls and suspensions enough to rough up the Warriors and show how soft they really are.

    KD will get his chance to respond by starting a Twitter beef with Cousins but using an alternate account.

    Cousins is too slow, he'd get embarrassed.

    At the end of the day Durant is 10 times the basketball player Boogie is.
