OAKLAND -- When the Warriors take the court Saturday and throw Kevon Looney and Jordan Bell at Dallas Mavericks center DeAndre Jordan, it will be another physical mismatch that leaves them longing for the day they can respond with DeMarcus Cousins.
Whether it’s a matter of weeks or more than a month, the Warriors are eager to have Cousins on an NBA court during a game. He might have felt like a luxury when he signed last July, but he now fills a need.
The Warriors are light up front, and at 6-foot-11 and 270, Cousins is 40 pounds heavier than anyone on the active roster.
