You left out the mutts, which is the group in which I have affiliation.  The group that sees a little fault to go around to everyone.

Cooney is frustrating to watch a lot of the time.  For a 3-pt specialist, he is wildly inconsistent and while I like that he takes the ball to the hoop, he rarely finishes.  G is a tremendous talent who, as we all know, is playing out of position and his play suffers as a result.  It also impacts the entire team because we lack a true PG who can facilitate.  Yeah, G's play has been down the past three games but I expect he will play much better moving forward.  Boeheim (and Hop to a certain degree) should have played Howard more, when he was healthy, to further develop his skills and confidence.  There were many opportunities earlier in the year where he should have been on the floor (perhaps with Cooney resting).

This G as the PG experiment doesn't seem to be working.  To watch us continue to go to it game after game is frustrating.  The basketball Gods also share some blame here.  Sometimes recruits just don't turn out as you hope (this where Joseph makes his entrance).  I feel for Kaleb because he seems like a real good kid and last year appears to have crushed his confidence despite what he said during the summer.  He just wasn't ready last year and may never be ready at this level.  Ennis (yeah, you aren't safe from blame either) caused a lot of disruption for our team and Boeheim's plans.  I don't truly blame him, more so the 25-0 facade that helped him to gain more attention than what I believe he would have gotten had he stayed - it was a no-brainer to leave, but it still hurts.

Don't get me started on the Diagne issue, the NCAA, Roberson's inconsistent play, etc.  So much blame to go around.  :(
