Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 2001851, member: 204"] I don't feel it's a talent issue. I like Lydon, Howard, White, Roberson and others. But right now this team is not playing smart offensive basketball and is certainly not playing with any intensity on defense. Why that is, I don't know. I have to say. I don't like John Gillon for two basic reasons: (1) he holds the ball too long and (2) he is too small at the top of the zone to provide effective defense. I gather that Boeheim is playing him to score. But that is a tall order for the guy. Generally, on offense, I don't see any body on body allowing our shooters to break free for open looks. I saw no effort to get Lydon shots. He created all of his own shots today. On defense, I don't see double teams out of the zone - no pressure on the ball no matter where it is. JB needs to gather himself and coach the heck out of this team. [/QUOTE]
