"Not being happy" that he didn't win the starting job does not automatically equate to "malcontent" to me. There seems to be a lot of justification going on to support people's opinion of Flynn here. If he was really undermining the team, this is the first public "evidence" of it. I put that in quotes because it sounds about 90% opinion to me.

As to Russell's in-game demeanor, that could be nothing more than his intensity. He probably has that "Yeah, thanks for the props, let's prep for the next drive" attitude. Not to mention that he seems like the kind of guy that doesn't need or want a lot of personal propping up and encouragement. He's all about the team, not his own stats.
