Un effin real

That dude is a flopping machine.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Id be mad but itd bet my life that was going in

 

[NineOneSeven]

Amazing ball fake in Trevor's grill

 

[cuseguy]

How many of our games have ended with a 3 at the buzzer, or just prior, this year?

Incredible.

 

[Cuse House]

Was there any doubt?

You beat me to it. Half the time we play crappy defense to close the half. That was actually good defense, still no doubt.

 

[TempleNCuse]

3 pointer sucked at the end but overall very good final 5 minutes of the half. Just have to survive these next 20 minutes!

 

[tee1222]

Disgusting game. Will take where we are.

 

[We Are Syracuse]

That was 100% going in. A last second heave at the end of the first half is legit the highest percentage shot of the half every game.

 

[CorduroyG]

Im 100% serious, i wanted us to foul with 8 seconds left. 1 and 1, hope they miss, even if they dont we avoid the buzzer beater 3 and get last shot

 

[cuseguy]

We'll win if G can avoid his fourth early.

Big question.

 

[We Are Syracuse]

Ben Simmons with less than a 2.0??? Geesh. If I was him I would be taking hunting 101, pottery 101, etc.

 

[Ajflood12]

I love talking about Ben Simmons GPA during the Syracuse halftime show.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

14-20 to end the half.
actually got to 35 pts

offense really got going.

Defense not so much

 

[senorpalmer]

Electric environment. Looks like the people who bothered to come out are there for a funeral.

How many classes do you think Simmons has attended? My guess: not many. He gone in 2 weeks.

Defense is a billion times better with DC at center

Katz said "strict requirements" then immediately followed that up with his must maintain a 2.0 GPA. I just shook my head...

agree. Roberson is giving us less than zero today.

 

[hoopsupstate]

It's becoming pretty obvious that we have to control tempo. This team needs to play pretty methodical. We can't play fast and stay in control. When we work the ball and slow down, our offense is much better. If we get a steal and get out on the break, that's ok, but it has to be easy or pull it out. It's so unlike teams from the past.

 

[Madbiker]

Once again, for the 20th time this season, lazy awful defense gives up a trey just before the halftime buzzer. Apparently this doesn't bother JB because heaven forbid we should play aggressive defense to deny the 3 pt shot when everyone in the arena knows it's coming.

Interesting that this comes out in the middle of the season. We didn't know Melo had the same thing, until over a decade after the fact. Different times.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Weird game....offense looked like it did in the first game the final ten minutes. Lydon saving the season, need to adjust on Jarquez Smith and stop with the careless turnovers. Huge for G to not get his 4th semi early and I am confident he will. STOP Mayes, hes the one guy whi scares me and can drop 20 in 5 mins.

 

[Ghost]

Lydon was fantastic.

Cooney was good.

Everyone else, eh. Roberson, Howard, Coleman taking up the rear though.

One of the worst halves of passing I've seen in awhile from us.

 

[djcon57]

agree. Roberson is giving us less than zero today.

Agreed and I'm usually a Roberson supporter even when he plays poor, but he looks totally of it.

Lydon/Coleman/Richardson/G/Cooney

That should be the lineup the majority of the way.

Yup. There's no Waiters, Flynn, Devendorf, Scoop, etc. on the roster who so often thrived on chaos.
