Okay so the Judah play?

[Newhouser]

So other than the "he's a selfish, point counting, ball hog"....what would be an explanation for making that play? Did he not know the score? How much time was left? I just can't think of what would be going thru the head of a guy who has played thousands of hours of basketball other than he's a selfish...

My first reaction was he did it on purpose to be an ass.

It was the dumbest thing I've seen all year and I have been sitting through a hundred 7th grade boys and 4th grade girls games

I hate to say it, but I don’t think we’ll miss a beat with him gone. Quadir is a better penetrator. Both can’t shoot. I actually trust QC hitting a shot before JM. That slow loaded line drive shot is looking worse and worse. And NEVER has a chance of going in anymore.

It was a really dumb play, but if it was truly selfish he would have shot it.

More confidence in the pass / dunk than his foul shooting?

I was thinking that too in a glass half full moment. However, I think he's a point counter and I think Bell is too if he knew he was a 3 short of 30 as was quoted in the paper.

In a game of head scratching plays that one just makes absolutely no sense and I can't wrap my mind around it without falling back to something that is not positive.

 

[LoveShack]

I wonder how the previous coach would have handled that?

I think he was trying to shoot but got caught and ended up "passing". Just an absolutely awful play for a "veteran" point guard with almost 2 years of full playing time.

I missed the game. What was the play and what part of the game?

How about--he melts down in late-game clutch situations? Remember last season at Miami and vs. UNC.

Shot clock off and he dribbled into traffic towards the hoop and tried a pass. Should have just kept running around until he got fouled.

In fairness that UNC call was bunk and no longer gets called.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

There is an argument to be made that even if he were all alone on a break with no defenders that he should dribble it to a corner , kill more clock .. and wait to get fouled .

The idea that you would drive at a well positioned defender is rather insane

Especially when his entire game is getting fouled. The one time he wouldn't have to throw himself on the floor, he still does it the hard way

 

[Willy75]

He should absolutely not be the primary or even the secondary ball handler any time SU is trying to protect a lead late.

I watched replay last night and he absolutely was not looking to pass until he realized he was screwed

 

[Millhouse]

Was autry watching in horror between his fingers instead on forming a T with said fingers?

Should've called timeout when minutes started that adventure and then spend the whole timeout explaining to him just how dumb it was

He’s overrated.

Gmac put his hands on head and so did about ten people in the stands behind him

I defended him after those games because he was young and “failing forward.” Now I wish he would have gone pro.

imo Copeland should see major time at PG now. I am 10x more comfortable with the ball in his hands. not perfect but he improves, Judah simply does not.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Sorry to say but hes just not a winning player.

 

[cayugacuse]

I'm frustrated with the whole offense in general. No (or little) ball movement and no one even tries to create a passing lane.
