He's in his 4th year he has not given any effort at all this game and good lesson by the coach if you want to take dumb shots and not play all out than you don't play. He's literally had 5-6 deep catches on him and how many has he had the other way?Uh. No.
in fairness, Keith Smart was very much known for riding bench units that made games somewhat competitive for far too long and not going back to the starters. if you want to win this game, at least some of them should be back by now (even if only to relieve bench guys that aren't used to playing this much). I suspect though, that the benching of the starters has less to do with winning the game and more with teaching a lesson.
thats fine, take Salmons out instead.Defense.
Coach gets a A+ from me win or loss this gameYou guys continuing to harp about Malone need to look at the big picture. I hate to agree with Grant, but the only real weapon the coach has is minutes. Just like a certain coach in San Antonio, Malone is sending a very strong message to his team about playing the way he wants them to play. Don't do it and you get real good spectator seats.
And I would have no problem with that whatsoever.
Except Jimmer, Grant.

I understand that. The thing is, in the past Malone has given Cousins special treatment and with good reason. He called him the only starter for a few weeks early in training camp. He's called out the entire starting unit outside of Cousins.
Point being, Cousins doesn't need the lesson. He's been consistently good. That's my only point. He deserves to also play with a unit that is playing well.
I understand sending a message to the team, but I don't like that Malone is not giving his starters a chance to come back and show that they got the message. I also don't like coaching without winning in mind.
