Asked about the Clippers playing him physically and perhaps baiting him, Cousins asked, "Who's being physical?"
When told that Marcin Gortat and Montrezl Harrell were, Cousins tried his best to bite his tongue.
"Man, y'all lucky this is my first day back," Cousins said. "I will tell you how I really feel about buddy, but I'm gonna be cool and stay on this straight line right now. Wait until I get in midseason form."
No matter what happened on this night, Cousins said a text message he received before the game put everything in perspective for him.
"My girl sent me this picture," Cousins said. "It was like the day I had my surgery, [and] I was sitting in a wheelchair in L.A., staring out at the sunset.
"She said, 'Think about where you are now. And where you came from.'"
