And you know what type of criticism AG responds to. You've been in practice and meetings and you know how he will react?
Not if you decided to go small ball, which JB did.
Griffin will almost always play 30+ minutes (until Sidibe gets back). Last night was an abberation
Why can't you sit both?
On a team with young guys who don't have experience with the zone and offensive plays, that would be a problem.
Woody has shown a ton of promise in the zone this year. Better at the wing than I've seen Buddy play in the past. Don't know how Buddy did back there yesterday, but I guarantee Woody would have had more rebounds than Buddy did had he been playing. And his hustle is naturally faster than Buddy's hustle.
Did you see northeastern's offense? It wasn't the vintage Warriors out there and our best offense was Q grabbing an offensive rebound. Woody could have handled that.
Yeah, I think that's a reasonable concern. However, Boeheim has done this over the years - certain guys sort of get a pass. Heck, he did this earlier this year with Joe. Therefore, I think it might be a bit of a reach to take the position that he's just playing buddy like he is because he's his son.
All due respect Capt, but the question for JB revolved around what each player would do for the remainder of the game. Yes, he had two choices, one was going to be the team player, defer to the hot option and the other, more of a question mark, possible hero ball, stat driven, play himself out of it.
Not sure if it was the same play, but AG palmed the ball while slowly dribbling unguarded in the backcourt. JB, justifiably, exploded. The TV commentators were rattling about something else at the time and never mentioned the turnover.
The turnover happened so quickly I missed it and was hoping for an explanation from the announcers but you are correct, absolutely nothing said they just kept talking about who knows what. The only thing I saw was JB turn quickly and point to Joe. You could tell JB was really pissed. And the announcers kept on ignoring the activity on the floor.
One of the moments he got an earful from Jim was 1H when the guard drove left, passed buddy and into the paint. AG, naturally, cut him off and the guy tossed it to the corner and they hit a 3. Sure, the 3 came from AG's spot, and maybe in that instance he should have just showed down a little and not collapsed as far and let Marek slide fully over, but the reality is when a guy is driving right to the basket, basketball IQ steps in and you guard that spot. We can talk advanced analytics, whatever, all day about the advantage of 3s vs certain 2s but a layup will always be a higher % shot than any 3 especially if the shooting player has a direct line. Reality is that defensive possession was a result of poor D up top. When that happens, things become reactionary on the back end.
Thanks, I guess I did not know they were not in the arena. Is that true for all games or was it just yesterday's game?
The "like" is for the feedback not the COVID thing!
