You can church it up and try to spin it all you want...
X isn't performing as AG wants. He has had one good game and another decent game all season. 9/42 from 3. 7 rebounds in the last 5 games he played. He hasn't shot better than 50% from the field in a single game. Sorry to be harsh, but that is the reason why he got the pine. If you look at the stat lines since returning there hasn't been any reason why he should get the nod. AG says perform or sit. Who knows what is going on in practice either. X isn't stupid and he will be motivated by this. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
AG appears to play who shows up on any given night. That was apparent with Crosby and others all season.
