    He gone...

    We do realize MOST guys who go PRO early never sniff the NBA right? The real question about Buddy is will he come back for his free 5th year with a team that should be stacked...I'm betting yes!

    He needs to drop those 15lbs he gained + another 5 wouldn't hurt...guards need speed more than strength

    Allen Griffin on Syracuse’s 2020-21 big men: ‘As a unit, we’re much improved’

    Sidibe starts, Edwards RS, Anselem backs up Sidbe, JBA plays only in blow-outs and foul trouble. Sidibe gained 20lbs and is working of finishing better (He finished pretty well last year) Edwards has been cleared to practice for 2 months, without much else to do he is not in shape? He RSing...

    Interesting thing about Miami's 2-3 zone

    Boston runs a 5 out offense one of the best in the league, the zone works great against it because you can guard the 3 and play the passing lane. Boston kept trying to run its offense against it and kept turning the ball over. Remember there is no one in the post in a 5 out offense so there is...

    Dion Waiters

    Miami does not have to give him a ring, most times the team does but there have been times where the team chose not to give players that were traded away a ring.

    Jerami Grant: Trailblazers

    Oh I think the numbers are higher. The global aspect of the NBA will make it a sports winner, but if congress cancels Christmas i.e. "no stimulus" all bets are off. The downward spiral that will cause will ripple through the economy in a depressionary manner, but the NBA would probably fair...

    Jerami Grant: Trailblazers

    You could be right he might also want a 1 and 1 deal with the belief that the market will bounce back quickly so why be suck in a long term deal.

    Jerami Grant: Trailblazers

    While I believe Grant will get around a $100 million contract I doubt it will be in Denver because of cap room and cheaper talent that can play a similar role namely Porter and Bol Bol. I hope Grant lands in Portland he would be a great fit Dame, CJ, Melo and Nurkic. With Whiteside coming off...

    Portland Carmelo

    If Dion doesn't play and play well the Lakers will not win this series. They need a scorer from the guard position who can also play good defensive. I seriously question if his head is in the right place and is probably why he didn't play last night, but they don't have an other option. With...

    Portland Carmelo

    Portland is terrible in pick and roll defend, but the lakers run less pick and roll than most teams in the league, Lebron will go for 40 a night, but AD will be hit or miss and that is a problem, Kuzma has to be big for the lakers or they will struggle to score enough.
  15. Gabjon

    Portland Carmelo

    I expect Portland to give the Lakers a lot of problems. The lakers are not guarding the perimeter well and not shooting the 3 well, and if those two things don't change they will be in trouble. Dion will have to play well for the Lakers as he is the only guard they have who can get his only...

    So Indiana may want Allen Griffin as an assistant coach

    Edit: This went over very poorly both with politicians and the alumi. It the height of the financial crisis and was viewed as completely tone deaf.

    Base without easily reached insensitive...the politics of coaches being the highest paid state employees...unless you a Nick Saban

    So Indiana may want Allen Griffin as an assistant coach

    It is. JB makes over 2 million and is underpaid compared to many of his piers. Audry is probably high 6 figures and G-mac and Griffin are probably mid 6 figures...it's big business...

    So Indiana may want Allen Griffin as an assistant coach

    Griffin is 4th in line (maybe 3rd) if the position is second chair at Indiana he should go for it. His time at Dayton will serve him well. We NEED more alums coaching at OTHER institutions. Even if our next coach is not an alum it would be good to have multiple SU options in the pipeline. My...

    JB on Sirius...

    Will JB get his salary if the season is cancelled? Are his endorsements tied to him coaching? What happens the Athletic Department's budget with no games? What about the trainers and lower paid coaches? The coaches of non-revenue sports? No games no TV revenue. That new roof will not pay for...

    dion being dion

    He needs to play better he had a good 3 quarters last night, but had some serious defensive missteps in the 4th which is unlike him. The Lakers guard play has been horrible if he steps up and they have a long playoff run he can rejuvenate his career, if not he will be out of the league soon...

    Nice article on Jeremi Grant...

    Sorry. I don't believe any player in the 30+ years I have watched SU basketball ball has improved their jump shot post their SU career more than Jeremi. No one, not Jeremi himself could have known he would improve this much. He went from not being able to hit a college 3 (which was closer then)...

    Between the Covid-19, the flu and the common cold this winter will be crazy, what happens when an asymptomatic person gets the flu or if they become symptomatic, maybe this is first Corona virus that doesn't get worse in the winter and maybe it's not. What happens if the only thing that is...

    Jesse Edwards:

    I think one of the big problems facing College Basketball is the "death of the American big man" i.e. American bigs don't want to play center, especially a "traditional center" down in the post, back to the basketball. All of our centers are foreign born and there are issued with that namely...

    Jesse Edwards:

    LOL! I am not down on him but watch the video it is what it is. I think he need to gain 30+lbs, I also think doing that in Syracuse working with other bigs and the staff is the best place for him to put on the weight he needs and develop a post game. We have 3 young centers all of them MAY...

    Jesse Edwards:

    My concern is we have half a season that blows Sidibe's and Marek's final season, but doesn't allow Edwards, Anselem and JBA develop because the lost of the pre-conference schedule will disproportionately hurt their development.
