There is no doubt you're going to get some bias. Locke does work for the Jazz. But I don't think they all sit around in a room and tell him what to say. I think he likes the players personally and wants to say positive things about them. I think he liked Kanter too. He burned Kanter because Kanter was a dick when he left town. I'm not aware of any other player that he's done that with and to be fair, none of the other sports writers who travel with the team behave any differently. Their jobs depend upon access to the players and coaches. They can't afford to get on their bad side.

You guys all act like it's some big coordinated conspiracy. You're entitled to your opinions, but I just think that's absurd. Cherry picking stats? That's like the national pastime on this board. No one is going to believe Trey is a great defender based on a few stats. They are more likely to conclude Gobert and Favors can make anybody look good. I just think Locke is one of the hardest working media guys in the league. Sometimes he can be a little irritating, but I appreciate the effort and the information he provides. I also think some posters have a personal dislike for him so they use any excuse to blast him.
