DeMarcus Cousins and Draymond Green are known for their erratic temper on the court. Now that they're both donning the Golden State Warriors uniform, Cousins believes that his teammate will acquire more technical fouls than him.
As reported by Kertih Burke of NBC Sports:
DeMarcus Cousins predicts he will get fewer technicals this season than Draymond Green.

Last season, Green received a total of 15 technical fouls for the second most count overall, just behind Dwight Howard. Their teammate Kevin Durant meanwhile was right behind with 14 technical fouls of his own. Cousins, for his part, got T'd up 10 times.
For Cousins, it's a relatively low tally since he has received 17 technical fouls in a season twice in his career. The 10 technical fouls are actually his career-low for a season thus far. The most he has received in a season was 18 in the year where he was sent to the New Orleans Pelicans midseason. Green, meanwhile, has been T'd up 15 times (also his career-high) in a season twice throughout his career. His lowest tally was during his rookie season when he just got two.
Indeed, apart from the sheer dominance that the Warriors are about to unleash, fans should also be on the lookout for the number of technical fouls to be handed out to Green and Cousins. They are two of the most volatile players right now. When they don't get the right call, they are not going to mince their words and let the referees hear it. Hopefully, though, it won't get out of hand.
