They did much much better than I thought they would do today. 97 points Of offense!!

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Jimmy going an extra button open today? Trying to sexy up this press conference. Should have taken his shoulder pads off first though...

 

[CuseFaninVT]

The way he talked about the walks from Joe seems to me like that's something they have identified as an issue that he needs to get rid of, which explains a bit why he lost his mind on Joe on the sidelines. Must have been something he got away with in HS.

I still question why they automatically call this a travel. Devo used to do this move all the time too. I need to see it closer. Reminds me of block/charge.

Interesting to me as well. They give you the benefit of the doubt when the ball is traveling back up from the floor to take a step that doesn't count toward your 2 before a layup/shot, but not when you initiate the move and are in the process of dribbling. The first one was definitely a walk, but I thought the second one was too close to call.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Refs anticipate that call. Some are good cross over moves where the pivot foot never moves. They are used to seeing a quick step and the cross over just looks different and they call it a walk.

 

[dasher]

He traveled. But it was great to see him hit two 3's. We are going to need that going forward

It has to be a cold and miserable day in Sodus.

The lake was angry and raging, and so was my wife.

Kinda stinks that when asked about Howard's 8 assists, instead of saying, "Yeah, Howard showed some improvement and found our shooters well", he had to make the comment that it's easy to get 8 assists when people are making shots. Is it true? I guess. Does it promote confidence and appreciation from your player? I'd imagine not.

He had already said Howard played a good game. And what he said about the assists is true.

 

[upperdeck]

i dont think what he said puts down Howard in any way. Most assists are more about the shot than the pass.

It was completely unnecessary.

I already acknowledged that in my post. Doesn't mean the way he said it or the fact that he said it all did anybody any good.

 

[Cheriehoop]

It may have been more of a commentary about looking at assists as a defining stat for assessing point guard play. It’s true, since some very good passes, the right pass, can be made but if the shooter misses - it affects not just the shooter’s fg% but the point guard’s assist stats. I’m guilty too - stats like assists all have contexts - if you’re an excellent rebounding team, more opportunities for fast breaks and easier assists - bad rebounding team means less easy assists and poorer fg%.

 

[kcsu]

My take is that Jim was very complimentary of Howard.

 

[tptcuse]

I certainly hope that the players aren't as sensitive as some of the posters here.

 

[SmilinBob]

The team rebounded well and to me that set a tone. Sid and Marek were active.

Now to get young Edwards to learn to stand his ground vs the big pushy guys done low. Fantastic hands and footwork.

I enjoy the assumption that players are even hearing half the things he says at these press conferences.
