The game was beyond a disappointment last night. However, what bothered me more than anything else was to see Copeland (who has seemed like a really good team guy) act the way he did and Benny doing more dumb stuff.
All year, I've supported Benny and have even wanted him back in the starting lineup. I think I'm done with that position. Everyone involved might just be better if he leaves. How could he possibly not be a cancer the way he continues to act.
Was anything posted about Copeland and what the beef was all about? Maybe I missed it. Seemed to me watching on tv that Red wasn't happy with him taking that first 3. Then we he was pulled, he didn't want to hear about it. Red, rightfully so, wasn't going to let a player dictate terms and kept after Cope for a little while on the bench. They were both clearly upset to the point where Copeland changed seats a couple times to sit further and further from the coaches, and finally moved himself to the very end of the bench. Then, when Copeland went back in (and I could be completely wrong on this), but that next 3pt shot he took (and made) seemed like a middle finger to Red - but again, I'm just speculating wildly based on what I was seeing on tv.
I really hope the copeland/red thing last night was an anomaly because I'm a huge fan of Cope. I really like what he brings to the table and along with Brown, are my favorites who wear orange.
