Matrix was never the best situational player.I'd never call him clutch.Especially when the pressure turned

up & the tension got thick at the end of highly contested games.He disappointed me in the playoffs year after year.

I remember bumping into him at Best Buy back in the day.Breh seemed pissed off that day.I was in check out with

with my cousin when he walked right pass us.He was about 20 ft away when my cousin was like "Let's get his autograph!"

I told my cousin "Nah, he seemed pissed off"....That dude got some rabbit ears because he actually heard me.I didn't even

say it loud enough to hear, but somehow he did.I guess his instincts/anticipation's really on some ESP shyt.He came over

to us saying "Nah Nah nah, I'm good" gave us a pound, and walked out of the store.Just from that encounter, he seemed

a lil defensive/sensitive.Thin skinned, I'd say.Like he had a complex about something.Maybe he was tired of playing 3rd wheel

to Amare & Steve and felt underappreciated?.....I don't know.That's probably why he got traded.I watched every game.The Suns

didn't need Matrix taking more shots.They needed ISO Joe.Somebody who could create their own offense outside of Amare/Nash.

He was the Draymond of his team back then. Except he was dropping 18-20 a game. One of first dudes I seen guard all 5 positions....seen him shutdown Tony Parker one possession and was guarding Duncan the next. Always took on Nash’s defensive assignment and played hard AF.

His problem was he didn’t embrace being that versatile dynamo and wanted more plays run for him. Guess back then everybody thought the only way u could be a star is to score:yeshrug:

ok I figured I'm looking at this game like he's not moving how he normally moves...With the way this season is I'm surprised you guys don't have him on a rest cycle like play 3-4 games rest one or don't play B2Bs the opposite of Joel.

How’s that a shot at Cousins?

he made that tweet right m after the gm game tonight
I’m reaching but capella was one of the best pick and roll bigs in the league. Tonight we put cousins in that role and he missed every shot he took in the paint. Clear lane to the basket, defenders 6 inches shorter then him and dude couldn’t buy a layup. No lift. It was so terrible that all the rockets at clutch couldn’t even get mad at dude.


This one of the quotes In The fourth quarter


Lol I can’t even get mad or frustrated anymore with Cousins. This is bigger than basketball at the moment. This dude is broken. It’s to the point that I’m praying and hoping for Cousins as he rolls to the basket like he was a make-a-foundation kid. I think he just needs to see one go in to get going and get his confidence back
