My constant crap of bringing up a legitimate grievance I saw being talked about on a forum where we talk about basketball?
Very hostile to try and make it personal.
No excuse for body language like that for not getting a pass from KO, a very willing passer.
However, I could understand the frustration if I had to be on the court with JC's overdribbling and constant turnovers, but Key really defers to him (to a fault). Go figure.
A coaches best chance to teach is when these guys are rookies/young. Hardy needs to be all over it.
Stop trying to play the victim. The only victim here is every game thread up until a few weeks ago when you finally stopped making every post about how you don’t like Sexton.
You didn’t even watch the game and because you heard something bad about Sexton you come running back to embrace your favorite pastime.
You have the ability to be a good poster. Stop making everything about him and the board will be better for it.
Man you are really butthurt right now
I stand corrected? You don’t have the ability to be a good poster.
Remind us all… was it a $40mm or $80mm contract you wanted to give to THT? Over how many years?
You missed his shot getting blocked, his poor defense, and his many missed rotations on both sides. But yeah he did have some nice plays after his poor start.
Sexton is Clarkson. Every Sexton fan was a huge Clarkson fan earlier.
A play called that the ball was supposed to go to him there and someone called an audible and changed it. He still shouldn't sulk like that but he's getting frustrated that the team can't run the offense or defense like it's supposed to.
He has plenty of mistakes. But so does the rest of our guards. But he makes way more correct reads and rotations compared to other guards and knows the offense and defense better as a rookie. His shot isn't falling, the game is a little too fast for him, and he's a little too weak. Things that will all improve going forward.
Obviously Hardy gets upset with him despite him scoring. So it's a pretty legit grievance that our head coach agrees. Sexton was completely lost on defense multiple times. In the last 2 minutes he gave up a wide open 3 and got blown past without moving his feet. His defense is a huge concern because of his size and that he can't play within the system and can't stay in front of guys. On offense he's amazing at times but clearly has a tendency to keep his head down and doesn't play within the offense often.
Everyone keeps trying to say but but but what about Clarkson. That shouldn't matter. Clarkson is who he is and isn't changing. The coaching staff only needs him to play less but needs someone to push him there. Sexton can't. Our rookie is closer but isn't a winning player yet and probably won't be until year 3.
He isnt making everything about Sexton.... or Kessler... or Dunn.... or THT. Its just that if he decides to swim against the current then he works so hard to validate his take that he also loses sight of fairness and objectivity.
Its a textbook contrarian act. Whenever he isnt heavily invested for or against a guy, he makes good and fair observations both ways.

The 10 seconds ran off, because the player (Sexton) who was supposed to covering Maxey was nowhere to be found and the jumper had to run after him. And based on Hardy's comments after the game he most definitely, absolutely, clearly thought that Sexton should've been on Maxey... He came out just short of saying "I told him and the little ****er wouldn't listen again"
