Charles Barkley

[Cuse Action]

with quite possibly the most ridiculous comment ever made on a nationally televised basketball game telecast. What a dimwit.

 

[orangenirvana]

Barkley has crapped on Boeheim and Syracuse basketball for years.

 

[Zippy1808]

what did he say? flipped to UMBC.

 

[PeteCalvin]

Did he say we're turrable?

 

[Cuse Action]

what did he say? flipped to UMBC.

Said that other than Melo, Syracuse has been terrible offensively, that players never develop offensive skills due to always practicing against zone defense

He's a clown. Here's a list of recent players who developed SIGNIFICANTLY while at Syracuse (NBA draft picks in Orange):

• Dion Waiters
• Rakeem Christmas
• Rick Jackson
• Wes Johnson
• Arinze Onuaku
• Andy Rautins
• Kris Joseph
• Michael Gbinije
• Tyler Lydon
• Malachi Richardson
• Oshae Brissett
• Tyus Battle

Other guys were recruited for the zone and left after 1-2 years, so never really had time to become great offensive talents. Jerami Grant, Chris McCullough etc.

Chuck has never been to a Cuse practice a day in his life and EastCoast2 in the post above layed out what Chuck should of had someone research. Like JB said in yesterday's presser, Chuck just isn't that smart. Clark Kellogg was actually the voice of reason and Kenny just kept his mouth shut as Chuck kept running his.

Plus Charles thinks Bruce Pearl is great.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

I used to go to practice all the time. They always practiced offense against man to man, and the first half of practice was always individual skills

Pre-game, Chucky was talking about how much he loved his alma mater, Auburn, and said the President is doing a great job but I can't remember his name right now, lol.

They are doing a bang up job 1 ncaa tournament win in 15 years.

 

[OrangeDW]

How many Syracuse basketball games do we think Chuck has watched? He has absolutely no idea what he’s talking about.

Luckily nobody takes him seriously. He’s comic relief.

 

[Jasoncuse]

Who cares?

Yeah but besides these Charles is right on the money... what a dope

He went to college at auburn, the equivalent of an upstate ny middle school, lets not go to hard on charles

how dare you devalue upstate NY middle schools by comparing them to Auburn U .

 

[tbonezone]

listening to Charles talk college hoops is akin to The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration asking me to deliver a lecture on today's challenges to marine ecosystems becuz i once swam in the gulf of mexico and was stung by a jellyfish .

Legit zero including the game last night

 

[DonLightfoot]

After Nova beating Bama he said "A loss by Alabama in any sport is a good thing". I appreciate school loyalty Chuck, but not when you are on national TV supposedly as a non biased analyst.

 

[Cowtown]

The Barkley Axiom: you can be stupid and still get work on TV, as long as it's really stupid.

 

[Halfmooncuse]

Most credible sports announcers went to Newhouse but CBS hires one that was a releasee of a Nuthouse.

 

[OttoMets]

I like him. I like a lot of the personal insight he brings to the broadcast and I find him funny. What he said about SU and zone was ignorant and off-base. Whatever.

 

[chlywtr]

Kept saying how easy the zone is to play against.....yet 2 of the better scoring teams in the country (80+/g) were both held under 60...crickets
