Glad to see he site is up again, and I hope everyone had a good christmas.
Now, what the hell happened to Westy during the holiday. Another starting lineup? This is getting to be pretty rediculous. Actually, it's absolutely asinine.
I see we have given up on the development of Omri and Donte. Cisco is the starting lineup? Why? What for? He's had a couple of good games of late, but has been one of the most inconsistent guys on the team, and started the chain of events which lead to the GS meltdown. He doesn't shoot that shot, we win. I can understand if he actually won the starting job, but he hasn't outplayed either Omri or Donte.
Landry now starting over JT? Really, Westy? Now players lose their starting position due to injury? F****** wonderful. Not to mention JT adds much more versatility and all around game then Landry, and is a better fit as a starter.
Dally over Cousins for how long exactly? Cousins was playing like our best or 2nd best player leading up to the GS game. His stats are much, much worse when coming off the bench. Dally was playing so poorly before the Cousins choke sign, that he had a couple games where he didn't even get double digit minutes. This sending Cousins to the bench indefinitely isn't only infair to Cousins, but it will now have a negative affect on the rest of the team. JT can't start with Dally, so now he loses his starting position as well.
All in the name of throwing our most experienced guys out there to win a few games? For what? So we draft 8th instead of top 5. Don't develop the youth and play guys who won't be here next year to squeeze out an extra win or two? Kill what little confidence and chemistry our young starting unit was showing, to play guys who might not even be here 2 months from now?
When you have the worst record in the league, throw the young guys out there so win or lose, they gain experience. This is now more about Westy saving his job trying to get another win or two, and being a stuborn @ss when it comes to his benching of Cousins. You already fined him, benched him, and failed to keep it in house so the national media is all over it. I see we're no longer developing our youth, so we can chase the 2nd worst record in the league instead of the worst.
