Can someone summarize this one for me? trying to watch the jets implode.

Can someone summarize this one for me? trying to watch the jets implode.

• "We aren't scoring points. Our offense isn't good enough. It's horrendous."
• "We made bad decisions from the Point Guard spot." with a look of "Oh no!" on his face. Said it twice.
• Lydon needs to shoot more. Would love 17 shots a game from him.

 

[PoppyHart]

Yes, AW3 is shooting "lights out". Apparently 8-25 from 3 against the only 3 real teams qualifies as "lights out".

 

[PoppyHart]

With this offense we wouldn't win "literally any games". Not 10 games, "literally" no games.

So...

 

[CuseFaninVT]

How does he not recognize that NBA 3's are not actually good shots?

 

[longislandcuse]

So...

Lol. It's like he doesn't think he's at all responsible for the fact our offense looks like a Chinese fire drill.

...for the past 3 years

 

[Fly Rodder]

Of all people since his defensive philosophy is based on encouraging opposing teams to shoot 3s a lower percentage shot. So his offensive philosophy is to let guys jack up threes?

 

[AZOrange]

So...

I mean a non structured offense is one thing. But tonight was horrible. There was no way those were designed sets.

he's evidently ok with someone shooting just 2 or 3 for 17 ...really "he's fine with that".

They never are. But the staff is never called out for it.

 

[NineOneSeven]

I do. Then clowns like townie tell me I hate Syracuse because of some transitive property or something.

[AZOrange]

They never are. But the staff is never called out for it.

Well we run a lot of screening action. But tonight even that was non existent. When your PG is repeatedly calling for a ball screen ugh...

 

[SoBeCuse]

I really hope it doesn't get to a mutiny point where the kids aren't buying in. Then it could get really ugly with routs and kids not playing hard. I haven't seen anything like it ever in college basketball from a major team in terms of constant frantic/no clue/in decisiveness/horrendous decisions. Something is truly wrong.

 

[JoeySimz]

I see what you're saying, but I think he was responding to Lydon's hesitation and passing up open shots. like he needs more guys to be a factor on the offensive end, spread the floor. But I just got home from work and I'm just watching the game now.

 

[orangenirvana]

he's evidently ok with someone shooting just 2 or 3 for 17 ...really "he's fine with that".

Because he's not going to go 3 for 17 every night. His point is we need Lydon to not be so gun shy and shoot the damn ball.
