Is anybody else bothered by Sullinger's play of late? He's starting to play like a jerk IMO and I really don't like it. It's not enjoyable to watch and it undermines team - which is essential on a squad like this with no stars.

It's also starting to spread. Crawford is starting to play hero ball, players are openly fighting with each other, and the turnovers are becoming insurmountable.

I'm bothered particularly by Sullinger. He seems to be getting personal battles with a player on the opposing team in every game. The last couple of nights it's been Faried and Griffin but it really has been an ongoing problem. I think of interactions with Horford, Reggie Evans, Tyler Hansborough to name a few.

Some might look at this as being tough or hard-nosed. I don't. I think it's a distraction and is affecting how the team is playing. The battles seem to be less about being tough and more about exacting personal retribution against a player on the other team that is bothering him. The result now is that he is on the verge of being suspended for flagrant fouls.

If Sully is going to turn into a main part of the rebuilding process IMO he needs to stop it. I'm actually kinda hoping he gets that next flagrant to see how he responds. I'm wondering if he will act like a brat or will change his behavior. I'm worried that he is heading towards a Rasheed Wallace style of play which would definitely stifle his development into a player we would want to build around.

Maybe I'm overreacting here, but I'm mostly venting because I just don't like watching it. The team is playing so crappy right now, so I think Sully needs to put the team play ahead of his personal vendettas.
