Sexton had two PNR plays were he manipulated the threat of his quick push shot to get his man open. I was very impressed because it's hard for me to think of many plays where Sexton has done that.
Hardy's zone won the game. A coaching decision was the difference maker.
He had a serious migrane case like a month back and his production has been horrible ever since. Dude was probably working too hard and now he is too casual and cautious.
I agree, maybe I didn't state it well. But he was making good passes more lately unlike his previous assist numbers that aren't meaningful. He generally has always made them team worse around him even if he has a good game. He showed flashes of making the team better this game and a few times lately. I doubt I would be as harsh towards him if we didn't feature Clarkson and THT. Such a frustrating trio that could all be potentially decent in the right situation/team.
Simone has been one of the best players the last handful of games. Lowe/Pelton highlighted him as the biggest positive of the Jazz's season in a pod yesterday.
Dunn having a good game makes sense. The Knicks have very little rim protection with Robinson out. Sims isnt awful, but he isnt good. Hartenstein isnt a rim protector. Dunn's "get middle" game was able to work.
RJ Barret shot nearly 50/50/85 before he had a serious migrane episode which sidelined him for 3 games, and then he has shot 38/25/82 and reportedly has had additional minor migrane episodes.
I mean, does RJ have this migraine thing every year, because the hot/cold RJ saga has been going on for his entire career.
Barret said it was his first migrane ever. So previous years whatever hot/cold stuff there was wasnt due to that. This is different.
Yeah... as a lifelong migraine sufferer, I'd never dream of mocking anyone who says they have it. The treatment Pippen got after the "migraine game" in 1990 was a crime.
