Message: [QUOTE="Ghost, post: 3280128, member: 581"] Here we go! [B]Eh...you‘re complaining about our guards not having guard skills. Seems relevant as people like you complained that Tyus couldn’t shoot. You know, an important guard skill? Now we have guards that can shoot. [/B] Eh, I didn't complain about Tyus. Who are people like me? Racist! I had no issue with Tyus. He could have shot better, but he shot well enough as a Frosh, and after that was a bit below what you would like, but he also had a pretty decent skill set otherwise. For his career he shot where Girard is now, so it can't be THAT bad. [B]Eh...that’s your misguided opinion, like you said below. Girard has shown to be a pretty good passer. He drives pretty well too. Maybe turn a game on? You‘re missing Buddy driving to the hoop, and all the pull-ups. [/B] Okay, you must on some level see how usage plays a part in this right? I mean, do you watch mid-majors play against teams like UVA or other good defensive teams? Even their stumbling, bumbling non-P5 talents make it to the rim on occasion. It really, truly happens. Do you think those teams just stand on the other end of half-court and throw the ball baseball style at the rim? The fact that it happens doesn't make them ALL good at driving to the rim. It just means, it happens. Not all that shocking - you look for mismatches, you try to exploit. I'm not sure that means your good at driving the ball to the rim. If you play 40 MPG at GUARD, and we're getting excited because you're occasionally making somewhere near the rim, and that's a vast improvement over what we were seeing before.....god save us all. [B]Those hundred kids are shooting against mid-majors, right? :) Wasn’t the point of this post that Buddy is Top 5 in the nation in made 3’s? [/B] Uh, I guess they shoot against whomever is on their schedule. Buddy shoots a lot of threes. I concur. He shoots very well. I concur. [B]Who? [/B] Buddy! God awful 2018-2019 Buddy Boeheim, who struggled mightily early in the year, but came back later in the year and shocked the world! Likely because he's amazing at practice, but still - he did it! Did you just start watching games this year? [B]So? What does that have to with anything? You don’t develop your bench in 3-4 mpg during the season. Players develop in practice. Players can play 40 mpg. They have a timeout every 4 minutes, rest on FT’s, TV timeouts and plenty of TO’s per game, plus halftime. We’re trying to win games, and you play your best players. Ask Coach K. Buddy went nuts in OT vs. Virginia. He wasn’t too tired to make shots. [/B] How am I supposed to ask Coach K? We are NOT on speaking terms. Plus, why would I ask him about Buddy going nuts against UVA? I saw the game. Weird tangent. Nobody thinks it's inconceivable that kids can play 40 minutes...this is such a stupid argument that comes around all the time. He went off in an OT where he played 40 minutes - not shocking. He was pretty bad most of the other 40 minutes that game...but that's not relevant here. Of course they can do it, of course even at the end of games they'll still have enough left in the tank to do ****. It's not like it's some declining percentage and they redline at 40 minutes and fall apart. 100% energy at tip for all the starters! 75% at the 10:00 mark! 50% at Halftime! 25% at the 10:00 mark (2nd half) 0% when the games over! They're literally dead! Everyone's dead! I feel like this is what you think you're arguing against. It's not. Nobody thinks that's what will happen. Nope. It's just a matter of whether you think developing a bench is important, and if you think those guys are worth throwing some minutes do. I do. You don't. It's all good. [B]This is idiotic. Why? That’s weird dude. [/B] Why do I like arguing? It entertains me and I don't agree with you... What's idiotic? You taking the time to respond to a joke as if there was an ounce of seriousness in it?
