Buddy

I don't know what this means, but I'm going to give it a like, just because...

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

I just don’t like the starting 5 together for that reason. Too slow on both ends. Too many guys who all want to do the same thing - spot up and launch.

I get why they’re starting….easily our most experience and “accomplished” guys at this level. But would like to see Torrence and/or Benny in there.

I’d give the 3 guard lineup a crack.

And we’re getting to where I’d like to see Benny take some of Swider’s minutes. Granted he has to do more, but man. Cole is a role player IMO.

Whatever. I think your a shtty fan and always have been. That's me. The celebratory bs when we suck is trash.

Cool. Enjoy being wrong...about the NFL and SU hoops.

I’ve used the Jesse Pinkman looking back and forth while pretending to drink out of his cup during an argument too many times, so I was trying to switch it up.

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.

A defended 3? What game were you watching? It was a great look at a shot to tie the game by ,indisputably, one of the three best shooters on the team.And he missed it badly. So that’s on the coach?

When one guy has 27 points and the only reason we’re in the game doesn’t get the ball and a guy who I have zero faith in gets the shot there’s something wrong, we did nothing to get buddy the ball.

Maybe JB didn’t realize that you have zero faith in Swider. I’m sure things would have played out differently if he had this knowledge.

There was something noticeably wrong with Joe. It started last game ( COVID maybe) he just doesn’t look like himself. The 3 guard with buddy at the 3 and Cole or Jimmy out worth trying, can’t be much worse.

If there is, and I’m not saying there isn’t, even more of a reason to give Symir time. It’s the coaches responsibility to recognize this.

Ornery Jim just showed up to the presser. Wow. Ripped Mario and waters right out the gate.

It's only gonna get worse.

One would think.

Buddy needs to work on passing. especially passing out of a double team.

theres a second or two window to do something 4 on 3...but if the pass sucks or isnt to the right man etc ...that man advantage quickly evaporates.

They should practice knowing before hand how to beat the double team on buddy BE READY.

I'm sure they do. Would be great if they could free up the 1,3 or 4 to get the quick pass from doubled buddy and then another quick dish to the 5 for a basket. Easier said than done though.

Maybe for this team it is, but every time we double someone it seems like it happens.

Well I guess that is the real problem, we're trying to solve the easy side for this team. Not sure how to fix the defense.

Back to the offense and doubles. Also wouldn't mind to see if Jesse could get that ball directly off the double and take a dribble or two, jump stop and see if he could make a play.

yeah, exactly. other teams slice up the double teams and get dunks pretty easily.

overall, and this has been the case for years now,...the other teams get easy buckets and this team gets hard buckets...not a winning formula.

when buddy is double teamed...he should quickly pass out of it...and it should be an easy bucket every time...but he often delays his pass (not to turn it over) and by then its just scramble mode and the defense recovers. if im an opposing coach, i just double buddy with impunity.
