Message: [QUOTE="OrangeXtreme, post: 1288136, member: 41"] [I][B]On Ron Patterson: [/B]Ronnie just, unfortunately, he believes he can make 3s. I don't know why he believes that. There's no reason he should believe that. He continues to prove every night and every day that he can't, but he's still going to take them. He's got to drive. He's got to make plays. He's got to be in the game because the other guy isn't playing defense so we have to have somebody. We have to have five guys. He's in the game because we have to have five guys, that's why he's in the game. ... [U]He's got to make plays, get the ball to (Christmas), penetrate and kick.[/U] I wish he could make some. I would be happy. It would be a great thing. But after 22 games you have to look at the numbers and say, 'You know what, you can't make it.' You're shooting 15 percent. All right. I can shoot 15 percent right now. I'm 70 years old. I can shoot 15 percent. You have to do what's good for your team. [U]You have to make plays, get in the lane, get to the basket, something. Play good defense, get in transition. Let's do that. Let's stick with that.[/U] Let's do what we can do, not what we think we can, not what we dream we can do. That's not dream land out there.[/I] [B][URL]http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2015/02/jim_boeheim_syracuse_terrible_wonderful_remarkable_comeback_win_virginia_tech.html#incart_story_package[/URL] [/B] [I]He got transition layups, which was good, but you don't usually get those,'' Boeheim said. "That's partly because we were trapping and stuff like that. He's got to play half-court basketball and make plays and get the ball to Rak and penetrate and kick. Do things like that for us to be successful.[/I] [B][URL]http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2015/02/syracuse_ron_patterson_says_he_wont_take_any_more_3-point_shots_jim_boeheim.html[/URL][/B] Patterson is currently shooting 8 for 48 (.167) from the 3 line.
