NC State Postgame

[littlereg]

Honestly people need to start worrying if we are even going to make the ACC tourney…I’m being dead serious

Why would that make me worry? The more embarrassing it gets for the school the sooner they’ll actually open their eyes

When nobody else can score, this is what happens.
Why don't you call out George, who was terrible (2-12), or the other bench guys, none of whom topped 6 points?

Because those guys haven’t started every game while at Syracuse for Red’s whole career as HC when he’s been healthy.

Because he shoots more shots than those guys and has the lowest TS% on the team.

Also, I asked if George was on the take in the game thread which is NOT a compliment to be sure.

Bench guys are bench guys.

For anyone that has played over 300 mins JJ is last in PER, TS% (which is atrocious) and second to last in WS/40.

And other guys can score. You know what limits Donnie? JJ and other guys not throwing entry passes.

Or, JJ going hero ball and not moving the ball to find someone else a good shot.

He is a losing player. Red has not helped him get better at all. In fact, you can argue he’s regressed.

 

[Scooch]

Kingz shot looked pretty nice. Would’ve been good to see him get some plays run for him.

Wait. Hold on. One second.

We can run plays for people?!

Is this common knowledge?!

 

[cliftonparksufan]

At least he got us 17 points, which is more than 3 of the other starters combined, or the entire bench combined.

We would have lost by more, and been behind by 20 a lot sooner without JJ at least trying to score.

Hoisting three straight 3's is poor basketball IQ.

I think at this point the team is partly checked out. I actually think this team would be good with the right coach. I am not ready to throw Kline under the bus for this. He may have put together something good. Just went wrong with the Donnie injury, and then the poor coaching. Checked out players don't play team ball.

I can very easily see a losing record with how things are going. We’re only favored in 3 of our remaining games, and only just barely.

 

[phil77]

Who else was scoring, Bob, other than Donnie?
Nobody was.

Hard for anyone else to score when JJ is chucking up all the shots and he has the ball in his hands the entire time by design by the coach.

 

[LpoolNative]

Calvin looked horrible. Good to see. More embarrassment for this this embarrassing program

 

[Scooch]

This isnt Autry's fault. He wasn't ready for the job and the powers that be should have been adults and known that. All of this was obvious last year.

I just hope the next coach preaches fundamentals. Our team cant dribble, pass, shoot, or play defense. Its real bad.

It’s still kinda Autry’s fault.

 

[phsyra]

Kilne is Fine...Autry is Notry

 

[tptcuse]

How did Russell look

Aggressive

 

[Newhouser]

19 shots and not 1 assist for a starting guard, and only 17 pts. You don't win many games with a player like that. And your center goes 2 for 2.

Well we only had 10 assists total. Not a lot of sharing going on.

 

[Scooch]

Kilne is Fine...Autry is Notry

The next coach is likely going to want their own GM anyway.

 

[LpoolNative]

Aggressive

His put back rebound was nice

 

[littlereg]

Nait George has been stealing cheques since week one of the season. I swear some of the tape would look similar to the point shavers from Ubuff.

 

[Scooch]

How did Russell look

Tall.

Handsome.

You’re absolutely spot on with this. How does a former decent guard put the keys into the hands of JJ and George? They’re the embodiment of every bad guard you’ve ever played with or seen on TV. George gets that look where you just know he’s taking it regardless of whether his teammates are open or not.

 

[LpoolNative]

Tall.

Handsome.

I think he has potential. Wbu?

 

[Scooch]

I think he has potential. Wbu?

At football? Definitely.

 

[Cuseloyal]

19 shots. 0 rebounds and 0 assists. Been saying it for 3 years. Starling is not a winning player

 

[Ghost]

No they are talented, red just makes them worse. He’s done it 3 years in a row, it’s not a coincidence

There is a somewhat odd trend where players seem to get worse as the season progresses...

 

[baggerbob]

Hard for anyone else to score when JJ is chucking up all the shots and he has the ball in his hands the entire time by design by the coach.

No more JJ excuses this team might end up with a losing record, and there is a lot more talent this year. The only common factor is JJ, and Red not making him into a team player. In 3 years you would think JJ would have learned from Red and Griff how to set his teammates up to shoot.
And he hasn't learned anything.

 

[LpoolNative]

At football? Definitely.

Why not in basketball?

 

[MikeSU02]

I really don’t want to see the team having to answer questions about Red the rest of the year when they know he’s toast.

It’s going to get so awkward.

We could have made up for the Donnie injury. The schedule was set up for it. The coaches failed starting with BC.
