Buddy

Yeah awful decision by Swider. He could have passed it and worked to get open for a better look and then hit it. You only take a shot like that if the clock is about to expire.

One of the downsides to no bench is that you just don't have enough options to step up when your key guys are off. Forget about being gassed.

How does he not get the ball in the final minute for a shot when he was the only reason we were in this game and clearly our best shooter?

Down 3 and a defended Cole Swider 3 is the play? Give me a break.

That was a well drawn up play and good shot. Maybe the wrong guy taking it but I don’t have a huge issue with it.

Your comment got me looking…

McNamara’s worst team, his senior year, had a starting five of him, Nichols, Devo, Roberts and Watkins. Would anyone not take that over our current five? I gotta think that 2006 team would beat this club by 10+.

I was thinking about that during the game. Imagine if we had Buddy, Nichols, roberts. Def would be better then this team. Not saying good but better then this.

Is that team allowed to sub?

I think the starters are pretty even.

Gerry > Joe
DNic < Buddy
Devo > Cole
Roberts < Jimmy
Watkins < Edwards

The sad thing is if you told me I could take Gorman and Wright (forget the better subs Louie/Andy/Arinze) or Symir and Benny I would take Gorman and Wright 10/10 times.

The thing is, Gerry was >>> any player on this years team. And everyone on the ‘06 team was playing where they should. Roberts and Mookie would abuse our front court physically.

Noone has front courts like that anymore even the NBA has gone away from that type of C/PF combo.

Makes it more frustrating that we are wasting an excellent center in Edwards.

We have 5 good players but if 2 or more of them are having off nights we just can't win games.

Agree about those kind of front courts. Disagree about having 5 good players. Four are good, two are starter-quality/playing where they should.

Meh. We have 2 good players, and then some role players who are good at one or two things.

ok tough guy. At least tag me on the main board
and don’t be a pansy a$$ that posts in a game thread that’s going to get locked. I guess you’re right all the time. Good to know for the future.

Nichols and Mookie played NBA minutes. Not many, but they did.

It anything an argument can be made that they were underused that season.

You the Baker fan?

The name calling is kind of sad, but you do you.

Buddy over DNic is debatable - but that was Junior DNic vs. Senior Buddy….so maybe. DNic was a better defender and also a heck of a shooter though.

Jimmy over Roberts is debatable. Maybe on a team that’s otherwise loaded with size, defense, and athletes, I’d go with Jimmy. He’s a much better offensive player. But Roberts was bigger and a better rebounder and defender. Depends on what you need.

Jesse and Watkins is also debatable. Jesse is a smoother offensive player and thus I think has more upside. Watkins became a very solid rebounder and defender. That’s a close one too, IMO.

Then don't call me out in a thread that you know will be locked. I am glad you take pride in us not winning. I hope you celebrate it. It sure seems like you are!

I was responding to someone else's post.

You seem awfully worked up. To me, this game was pretty meaningless - the only thing it did was confirm what most of the fanbase knew a long time ago.

He did so much more good than bad today. There is a difference between being a leading man and being the entire team. Even Gmac had more around him than buddy does.

i dont wanna be too critical but he struggles to pass out of the double team. heck he even struggles to pass at all.

the team cannot pass jesse the ball in scoring position. like even if they tried.

they literally cannot create anything for their teammates, generally. very easy to scheme against.

I don’t disagree, but we also have a team where nobody can get open, we’re not quick enough.
