DeMarcus Cousins did not start yesterday’s quarterfinal game against Argentina, but it didn’t stop the All-Star big man from making an impact.
As Team USA was trailing Argentina 19-9 in the first quarter, the team called Cousins for helped and as a result, Boogie finished the night with 15 points while shooting 6-10 from the court.
Many basketball fans noticed the impact Cousins made for his team, which lead some of them to express their opinions on the issue to social media.
With that being said, listed down below are some responses pertaining to Boogie’s outing yesterday against Argentina that the A Royal Pain team was able to gather up.

Love Luis Scola. But he's guarding DeMarcus Cousins. As good as USA is, nearly every possession should go through him.

must read: Bogdan Bogdanovic Explodes in Quarterfinal
Cousins was able to have himself a good outing last night, and his team will need him to do it again when Team USA plays against Spain tomorrow.
Will Cousins and his team continue to get their boogie on, or will Team USA be victims of a major upset?
