I know lot of people have seen it, but pretty funny.

a little late there bud! haha

he gave him some love after the game. Love our coach

Cuz he's inconsistent. Game isn't over and he wants a high five when he just played horribly the night before. One thing I didn't like was Stan pulled out Jackson with 2 mins left in the 3rd quarter and Jackson was on fire. If anything you leave him in to give you a bigger lead and let Blake play for most of the 4th quarter until you need Jackson to come back in.

except Jackson's defensive effort was questionable due to his fatigue. I somewhat agree, but i give SVG the benefit of the doubt.

I don't think ya'll are reading his lips. Reggie is saying,"Coach, let me back in the game. I promise to pass the ball!!!"

Fatigue has nothing to do with it. He's a terrible defender.

he is decent when he wants too. I would not call him terrible

I don't think we can call anyone a terrible defender unless you know what their coach has asked of them.

On a PnR does SVG want RJ to fight through the pick every time? Doing this actually put the onus on the TEAM defense as you're essentially asking Dre to defend 2 players somewhat for a short period of time.

If RJs man turns the cover and drives hard theb it's on Dre to stop it as RJ is now basically out of the play...

I've seen this happen a thousand times!

RJ fights through only to see "his" man has blown by Dre, no one has rotated and once they've got Dre hooked it's an easy dump off to the rolling big for an easy shot.

People view that particular sequence and blame RJ for the penetration - in actual fact as a coach you'd blame the player that didn't rotate OR Dre!

IF SVG has asked RJ to go under the pick...you're far more likely to contain penetration but you risk giving up an open 3...

This is why SVG values continuity - certain players are defended differently and as a young team with no "conductor" on D we have sequences where players don't know if they're supposed to rotate or not. Half a step too slow is all it takes. This will change over time as our group plays more games together...

tl;dr - claiming any player is a terrible defender don't mean nothing if you don't know how he's been asked to defend that particular player or play

Then, a third player should have Dre's back as well.
