Exactly. Perfectly stated.

Nobody believes that Freeman didn't start due to "matchups". I just assume that something also happened off the court or behind the scenes with Kiyan and yesterday was the result.

Sometimes team matters are better handled within the team rather than getting too specific publicly.

The unfortunate result is that fans create urban legends for the cause, rip the player, the coach, etc. Look, Kiyan is a freshman with a lot of upside. Still he has struggled. We all know that. Red has struggled and will be gone at the end of the season. We all know that too, but I respect keeping things like this in-house instead of putting an even bigger microscope on the whole thing.

Red kept it in-house instead of talking publicly about Benny Williams ripping urinals out of walls or Copeland pushing Griff, not going to class, etc.

Kiyan didn't play and I'm sure that both he and Melo know the reason why. Hey, maybe it really was "matchups" but I don't think that for a second. Either way, it's a team issue and none of my business except for morbid curiosity. And that isn't a good reason.
