If that is true, CDR seems to be the ONLY starter benched for that reason and certainly for inordinate amounts of time. The other starters (and Nets players in general) are given much latitude by Kiki to play through mistakes, get in rhythm, etc. I also note that CDR is benched even when he is playing and defending well (last nite's game, Washington game, etc.) I feel Kiki's disappointment with CDR is personal (probably stemming from his media and Twitter comments, believe it or not). I also think that CDR's minutes will continue to dwindle as long as Kiki is coach. I don't think this "dog house" status is temporary or justified. CDR fans will be glad when he can move on with his career. For all the effort he's given the Nets, he's being slapped in the face and his career is being trashed. Stats and performance supporting it, CDR is still one of the top 2nd year forwards in the NBA right now and he deserves better. So do the Nets for that matter.
