FSU Postgame

The +\- is hilarious.

Minus numbers are bad, right?

Devo really struggled tonite imo. Even pulled the board favorite “you guys have no idea what’s going on” card.

Just reeks of excuse building. Hated when Dino did it. Just don’t want to hear about excuses. Your job is to manage past those or eliminate them.

At least Devo didn't go "Full DC" and throw Red and the whole team under the bus on TV tonight.

Red so bad that the more he DNPs Westry and McLeod the more I have to wonder if they're not the answer.

I don't believe they are...but Red has me starting to believe.

I don't think we will see Westry much. He doesn't even see much engaged.

 

[hoopsupstate]

I watched Louisville today and almost every player can beat their man off the dribble and get to the rim and score. We have noone who can do that and they do it within their offense. We try to do it when we’re desperate.

This was a horrible loss again against a horrible team. There’s nothing good to take from it.
I don’t care if he was rusty JJ was selfish and really hurt the team on both ends, but particularly with his shot selection. Had some unserious turnovers as well.
This was arguably Donnie‘s worst game of his Syracuse career. His defense was atrocious and he has to learn how to contest or block shots. He just needs to be tougher and he willing to give up his body to go get the ball instead of staring at it on the floor. He also needs to learn how to move without the ball. And try to dunk.
I was happy that Red finally pulled Carlos. I guess watching him turn the ball over, get burned off the dribble and not distribute was something he finally found to be troublesome.
We can’t rebound or play defense. Lampkin, Carlos and Davis were useless.
I guess the bright spot was the long national nightmare of Chris Bell not making a three is over. But even that small joy was ruined by Bell yelling at Red after Bell made a bad pass.

Well, if Donnie’s worst game is 16 points and 10 boards, I’ll take it.

 

[Toga]

Good effort lads.

I wouldn't be engaged either if I watched this garbage day in and day out and my coach still decided not to play me.

Shame.

He looked so promising in HS.

I don't think he can play. If he could, Red would play him. We are sort of desperate.

Minus numbers are bad, right?

A minus number tells you how many more points the other team scored when you were on the floor. For example, when Donnie was on the floor, FSU outscored SU by 21. That’s not good. We were a plus one with Petar on the floor.

 

[PoppyHart]

That was the first P5 win for FSU and they looked like the Globetrotters with the alley-oops.

 

[hoopsupstate]

We were minus 21 when he was on the floor.

 

[RyanCuse44]

Sounds like there could be possibly some off court issues.

 

[Blanko97]

Well i struggle to trust who red thinks can and cannot play considering Carlos getting 35 a game

 

[dasher]

I haven't heard that.

 

[tptcuse]

I was looking at defensive stats rankings before this game and it was bad in every category. I can't imagine how much worse it will get.

 

[sugrad68]

Today was really scary for me. It was actually worse than before, especially on offense. We truly are coached like an AAU team. We are just a terrible coached team with average talent that doesn't fit well together.

"Especially on offense"? We gave up 54 points in the 2nd half to a not very good offensive team. And our worst defensive player, Moore, only played 3 minutes. Petar played 13 minutes and fouled out. Cuffe played 14 minutes and fouled out. Wide open dunks for FSU. Did we have one dunk tonight? It is depressing watching this team on both ends of the court, but the defensive end is the worst.

 

[Marsh01]

Look at the bright side. If you ever wondered what rock bottom would look like,
this has to be it. I'm not kidding, I think we played as well as we could today.

Rock bottom is when we dont make the acc tournament

 

[cuseincincy]

1 assist and 3 TO for Carlos. That’s a good ratio, right?

He's a dribbler. Don't expect anything more.

 

[Cappy3]

We were minus 21 when he was on the floor.

And Davis was +1 with zero points in 21 minutes. The whole +/- thing is ridiculous. A guy who plays most of the game in a loss will almost always have a -, while a guy who plays a couple minutes when the team actually does well without any contribution from him will get a +.

Yes that's good..but.. dude has to learn how to play d

We are never ever going to be a good defensive team. We have terrible individual defenders and a coach who doesn't seem to be able to coach team defense. So on defense, we are never going to be good. People complain about player X and player Y on defense they are all terrible and that includes our coach and whoever puts together the defensive game plan.

But it’s not Red’s fault.

Looking forward to pitchfork promotion nite when I visit campus in Feb to hear the sales pitch.

Lol.. I agree it's a dumb statement for hoops.. this ain't hockey
