Collin Sexton SZN

Lmao.

Yes, Sexton sucks on defense. It doesn't mean every game and every possession is bad. Anyone trying to argue otherwise is being obtuse.

Also defensive tracking for things like primary defender is wonky. Plus raw "player x had 5/10 shots made on him as the primary defender" doesn't really say anything about the quality of defense being played.
This was the expected response.
 
It looked like he yelled and clapped at Collin for the 8 second call. He goes at Sexton hard… which I get but needs some better balance. He does not seem to have as short a leash or temper with KO or JC when they make dumb mistakes.
It's not a punishment. Shouting at JC is shouting into the wind. He's 30 and will make the dumb mistakes he does, yelling or not.
 
Who yells at Hardy, guy is a rookie coach that has made many headscratchers this year. Acts like he is POP already, lets see him do something first.

He has only made the Jazz a playoff contender in a year where they were projected bottom 5 and the GM had to sabotage the team and that still might not be working to keep him from winning.

He's yelling at Sexton and Sexton is playing the best basketball of his career. His methods seem to be working.
 
I don’t think anyone thinks Sexton is a lockdown defender. The problem is people are making **** up while watching games saying he’s getting torched when he absolutely was not. I think they think if the opposing PG scores it means Sexton was guarding them or something? Or just look at the box score and assumed he was guarding them? Just super weird.

Same stuff used to happen with Gobert. There was one game Jokic scored like 49 or something on us and people were saying Gobert got torched when in fact it was Favors guarding him the majority of the time if I remember correctly.

It is extra weird to **** on a player randomly when he actually tries on defense when we had guys like Donovan not trying in the playoffs.

LOL you are whack as ****.

If players like Brunson and Haliburton are going 6/18 against someone who is trying on defense I think he must be doing something right. If the eye test matches the stats then I don’t know what to tell you.

I'm just saying the facts man.

For example: if a player takes a wide open 3 that was the result of player X messing up a rotation but player Y ended up being the closest player to the shooter, Player Y is going to get labeled as the primary defender and the make/miss will register to him. The defensive tracking stats are very flawed in that regard.
