So true. Every fan base thinks they’re getting hosed.

Your an idiot. Etan says basketball stuff that is based in his desire to slam Boeheim. Against UVA, when the offense was forced through Jessie, it died. Jessie had no answer for strength and double teams. He had at least 4 turnovers, but it seemed more than that. There was no such post after that.
Every basketball post he makes are slightly veiled anti-Boeheim slams, despite not being in practice or around the program.

*You’re

**Jesse

Your attempt at gaslighting won’t work. Many of us know what you really meant.

So could have put this in Maliqs dedicated thread but will leave it here.

This kids awareness and instincts are just off the charts. Strong yet soft hands as well.

One play in particular was the tap putback he had. The ball had a ton of momentum coming off the miss and Maliq put a volleyball like tap on it to put it back in. Not sure I've ever seen that maybe more than once or twice at any level. So difficult to make that play on the fly judging the touch needed off a bang bang play.

I remember Rafael Addison making almost the exact same play in a big game way back when and Dickie V. just went off raving how it was an NBA-level play and how good Addison was, a top-2 small forward. I think it was before he hurt his ankle and was hobbled the rest of the year.

You know anything about why he’s not at UVA? He played with Tony’s kid in HS.

UVA took Isaac McKneeley, who will be an elite shooter. Similar players and positions.

It's all they have at this point. They filled Conte, with many orange fans too in hope of a chance to get to .500.

oh but it does!

Etan is WRONG...the team has been going through Jesse too much. at times. (for instance, the UVA collapse) Thats why I think MOST people dont like the tweet.

Some people may also be upset that he is making boeheim look bad...which is a bad look, generally...but could be for different reasons, as well. (personally I was happy when he stood for kadary and happy that former players could be a possible voice of reason in certain cases - when justified)

Etan is smart and usually on-point, but not here. imo

(although, early in the season, when jesse had an advantage, i do think the team didnt go to him enough in certain games, as well)

Etan is spot on. Jesse is the one kid the one position that on many nights we have a clear advantage. Who else on the roster has an advantage. It certainly isn't any of the forwards. Joe no way, Judah maybe. Jesse is absolutely the player we need to feed and run our O through. It's not even close.

I don't disagree but, in this case, he is spot on.

Edwards has had quite a few no shows this year and he turns the ball over at an astronomical rate for a non guard. All we have to do is go back and look at the previous game.

Etan is only partially right and it applies to when Jesse's is guarded one-on-one.

When he's doubled by good defenders, he's obviously not nearly as effective and it forces others to beat you.

We have seen other teams already do that successfully against us. I don't think BC had the stable to do it successfully, tho.

Exactly. Jesse's career game had as much to do with the huge match up advantage as it did with bad coaching. BC is a bad team, their sub .500 overall record as well sub .500 conference record supports this. Most of the teams we have played have chosen to double Jesse, BC chose not to for the most part. Rather peculiar to say the least.

Jesse has struggled considerably against physical teams, etc. and players that have the strength and brawn whom can get Jesse's relatively weak stature off his stride/balance. BC had no such player last night, as his childhood buddy is not a physical presence in any way, shape or form, but rather a stretch 4 type guy. Which again, making the chosen BC defensive strategy very odd...bad coaching. Kind of reminiscent of when (due to all of our swing and misses on the recruiting trail at the 5 spot) JB put Lydon at center and all of those ensuing mismatches as a result.

BC's game play, IMO, last night was about as bad as it gets at this level. Quoting a line from a good 'ol movie; "Huge mistake, huge!"

Hey, do you work on commission?

Yeah, leaving Jesse's childhood sidekick to cover without a double team was borderline coaching negligence.

I didn’t see BC’s coach do much of anything yesterday to affect the game. Late, he ran a second man at Jesse and tried some zone. He’s considered a good young coach. He has a long way to go before he ever beats JB.

 

[NineOneSeven]

I’ve got no problem feeding jesse when he’s clearly dialed in and making plays. I have an issue when we force it too frequently and ask him to do too much like several times against UVA.

10 straight W's for us against them. I'd even argue that he has not only a long way to go before beating JB, but anyone halfway decent for that matter, at least on a consistent basis.

Case and point in just how bad of a coaching job he did last night. BC had 2 timeouts left when ahead 59-56 and JB called his last one with 8 and change left in the game. He never used any of his timeouts during that 14-2 run of ours afterwards. I think most coaches (at least good ones) would have used a timeout after our quick 6-0 run and up 62-59. But, again, quite surprisingly, it wasn't until after the under 4 TV timeout that a stoppage in play occurred, by then it was game over.

did you watch the end of the UVA home loss?? running things through Jesse cost the game...and it has happened at other times this season, as well.

UVA's double team was effective...and JB said bc Jesse had a few good plays in the first half...thats why he called that to close the game...well, it cost the game.

JB just needs to adjust better when things arent working and not be so stubborn...

generally, yes...running things through jesse is a good idea...but he's had a number of "dud" games this year too when teams are physical with him. when the refs swallow the whistle and the opponent is physical hes totally neutralied out there.

every player on the team can be taken out of the game by good defense...and then running iso sets through that player anyway...is why the team has the record it does, imo

there's an implication in etans tweet that IF ONLY the team had run things through Jesse etc...when, in reality, running things through jesse too much has also been an issue.

Nailed it - it’s always about the match ups. I do agree with Etan because going in, on most nights, Jesse does have a match up advantage. When they double, that advantage shifts to the outside shooters provided he is willing and able to find them.

 

[TheHaze315]

I can’t believe such an innocuous comment the intent of which is to praise Jesse is being twisted into some war manifesto

That’s what this fan base specializes in, everything has to be an argument one way or another.
