JB said the players were tired at halftime

[SaltLakeOrange]

Where exactly was he better or even good for that matter? Both were terrible in todays game, so the coach went with the guy with more experience. You may choose to ignore that but there it is.

Oh man, that was some comeback

Peace

How was Kadary “terrible”?

Where exactly did you see he was better? He did not play particularly well today, neither did Joe. Hopefully both will be able to do better going forward. I did notice that JAB spent a considerable amount of time lecturing Kadary today for wharever that is worth.

Well he had 5 points in 9 minutes and 0 turnovers. He should have had an assist on a fast break but one of our guys bobbled the pass.

 

[Scooch]

Same old, same old. JB has already decided on his 5, and they’ll play 38-40 minutes a game, regardless of their actual quality of play. Why bother recruiting a kid like Richmond if he can’t get 1 minute in a half where Girard was atrocious in all facets?

 

[Consigliere]

He was a net negative while playing greater than 30 minutes.
I think a ’star’ player needs to be able to do more than shot open jump shots.

8 for 17 from the field; 4 assists, 3 rebounds, 23 points. I was a net 0 today. When will they be hanging my jersey. Without Buddy, we’re 0-1 right now.

There’s a big range between “terrible” and “star”.

He had 23 points and 4 assists.

His quote goes along with my thinking. JB thought this was a cake walk win and wanted it so he can start 1-0 and then only started back tracking at halftime when his team was losing

 

[Eric15]

I think it’s possible JB didn’t want Girard with a goose egg

Jake if JB bases even 0.000001% of his coaching decisions on Girard's stat line we have bigger problems than I thought.

 

[Orangezoo]

Kadary was not bad at all. He pushed the ball and made good plays. He got beat on D just like the entire team did. His ability to run the team was very evident. Joe needed to play through it I think but Kadary deserved more time. It was a weird game.

People on this board love to attack Buddy, and he is not the perfect player, but he is a very good player.

[Scooch]

Our starting guards need to score 50 combined each game to offset how awful they are defensively.

 

[OrangeDW]

Makes me think JB and JW weren’t on the same page here.

 

[Scooch]

Good for Grasso.

LOL. Guy...“should’ve” isn’t a thing you can just keep saying.

If what he says is true, I understand why he’s annoyed. But you can’t keep talking “tough” based on we “should’ve” beat them.

Coaches are insecure AF, lol.

Good for the Bryant coach calling out JB on his weak a$$ excuse.

 

[djcon57]

Ah I see the “Actually...Kadary isn’t very good” posts have started.

 

[OrangeDW]

Good for the Bryant coach calling out JB on his weak a$$ excuse.

LOL, Bryant coach himself said he wouldn’t have wanted to play.

It’s not an excuse.

He’s mad at the double talk.

 

[UpstateSM]

Yeah, when I read this I took it as JB was talking about our administration, not Bryant.

 

[81South]

Okay...He scored 23 and allowed more than that...There are two halves in a court. He is a good shooter but a mediocre basketball player.

Yes there are two halves. I agree he was poor defensively but You said he was terrible all day...you may want to pump the brakes on the hyperbole. His offensive numbers were very solid.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Lol. If JB wanted Wildhack to postpone the game, it would have been postponed. I’m quite certain that JB’s halftime comments reflected his regret of not postponing the game. Hubris is as hubris does.

 

[Orangezoo]

Sidibe getting hurt threw a monkey wrench into all of this. He was on track to effectively foul out Bryants front line and have a big meal on the offensive boards. It was clear we had no real game plan except to roll the ball out, get our shots up and taking advantage of isolation chances while Sidibe and Marek clean up and over power Bryant. When Sidibe went down everything went to hell.

Wow you have down to a science , you know exactly how many Pts were his fault on the defensive end. Seemed to me they hit several 3s from the corners.

Fair assessment. Buddy is a one dimensional player who along with his other starting guard are about the worst defenders I’ve ever seen.
