JB on Silent G

“@JeremyRyan44: Boeheim (paraphrasing): We're not asking Gbinije to run the Princeton offense here. It's not rocket science. Mike needs to play better.”

 

[SoBeCuse]

Ouch. He has not played well lately. Almost looks very tired or sick with the flu or something. I hope that is the explanation, at least.

 

[GonzoInMD]

It's an adventure every time he gets the ball when the other team is pressing in the backcourt.

In fairness, it's an adventure no matter who has the ball. Our press break is just bad. Really bad.

Many, including the staff, were raving how Mike changed his body and game during the offseason.

He does seem a little bigger and stronger, but his game? Meh.

 

[SUfaninAZ]

Hmmm... All along I thought it was rocket surgery.

 

[SoBeCuse]

JB opening sentence in presser: "I thought our defense was good that's it." LOL.

There is no doubt in my mind, that the most consistently entertaining part of our games this season is going to be JB's post game press conference. We are in for some real special moments this year. I'm talking "he got as many rebounds as a dead guy" type game reflections.

 

[Alsacs]

I shutter to think how many turnovers we will have against the Louisville press if our guards don't improve against ball pressure. G and Joseph need to improve against pressure.

Agreed! His reaction to the question about BJ was priceless. I haven't seen anything like that.

I'm not an X and O guy, but as far as breaking a press, why do you never see your biggest big sitting at half court to receive a pass and then distribute. Been years since I've seen it.

Still the alltime PC quote in my book: "Who's going to draft him? The Army??"

The 3 pt attempt off the side of the backboard was a thing of beauty. Tangible progress from his wedge shot between the rim and backboard last week...

You don't really want your 5 handling the ball anywhere near mid court against a good press.

As for the X&Os, the concept of the press break is fine, if not overly conservative (I think you should ALWAYS try to attack a press). It's not the O as much as it is the "Joe's." That will improve with experience. Everybody is going to press them now.

LOL! Just a guess here ... Paul Harris?

 

[HoustonCuse]

Ha. No, believe it not Hakim Warrick! (probably junior year though)

 

[Cowtown]

To be honest, my first reaction was Matt Gorman, but quickly realized nobody would have suggested that

JB always has a guy, year to year, that he either throws under the bus or dumps on. This year it seems like its going to be G. Thought it'd be Roberson.

This year for JB will be what we call a target rich environment...

I mean he has every right to be upset with a number of players and their performances. But I just hate how he calls out these kids in pressers sometimes.

He's done it for years and he's not changing.

The presser is mild compared to what he's going to say at practice tomorrow.

Everyone has their faults. Just really unfortunate.

Practice is a different environment
