Postgame Thoughts… Clemson

[OrangeDW]

My biggest question after this game is will we ever lose again?

Ever??!!



Probably not.

IMO, best lineup going forward is Symir, Joe, Buddy, Jimmy/Cole/Benny (whomever is playing the best), & Jesse

Joe is literally 46% from 3. We need to get him more shots, period. The D isnt getting better. It's not gonna happen, so lets get Joe cookin', keep Buddy doing what he does, and Jesse gets his. Maybe we win a couple

Yup. Been obvious for a long time IMO. Gets Joe off the ball. Defense is horrific anyway - what are we clinging to there?

Symir isn’t that talented but he’s gritty and smart. We need more of that.

Duke losing with four to play against FSU.

Knotted with 40 secs...

 

[690West]

Following on live stats (a misnomer for sure) and I see Edwards is cruising along at 14 & 11, two fouls, then it seemed like bang-bang-bang and he's gone. What the heck happened?

3 fouls in 31 seconds. He decided to mix it up a little.

Must have given Coach some acid reflux.

Benny should get some of Jimmy and Cole’s minutes.

Symir should get some of Buddy’s minutes.

Joe has been better as a SG when he gets some of those minutes.

The Boeheim brothers minutes should be lessened we have players on the bench who can help the D and Girard can be SG.

Duke went zone.

It's kind of amazing what a little bit of bench play does.

FSU with a shot where I said "No chance" when he shot it.

 

[NorSyr66]

3 fouls in 31 seconds. He decided to mix it up a little.

How in the world can the coach let a player get 3 fouls in 35 seconds without calling a timeout or making a sub. Jesse was the difference maker in this game!!

 

[OmahaCuse]

Would have liked to see Sid get a few minutes in 2nd half, he looked mobile and decent. Same with Benny and Sy in second half.

 

[kingtidge]

FSU with a shot where I said "No chance" when he shot it.

That vaunted duke zone got them back in it!

 

[Noexcuse]

8 and 5 over the next 13 is doable. That would put us at 17 and 14 going into the ACC tournament. Win a couple there and maybe we get on the bubble.

 

[dollarbill44]

3 fouls in 31 seconds. He decided to mix it up a little.

He wanted Frank to get some more PT.

 

[NorSyr66]

Playing Symir in the 2nd half was BIG. There was no reason at all to take him out around the 5 minute mark besides to get Jimmy or Cole back in. WHY? He shut down there unconscious 3 pt shooting

I found the end of game discouraging.

Sy helps us so much with pressure, and he's been getting to the rim and finishing. Joe does a great job of looking for Jesse.

Yet again though we seemed to do what we always do, go ISO for the two Boeheim's once late game hit and we had a tiny lead. We got the win, but it's such a crapshoot and it's not been working for us, so not sure why we seem to think it's the winning recipe. Also, god only knows what Cole is doing half the time.

Could easily have gone the other way after Jimmy's ISO fail, and Buddy's awful ISO shot. We pulled it out though after that nice connect from Joe to Jesse and then got some distance between us. I don't know. We seem broken.

Jesse and Joe were magnificent though tonight.

Cole came in for Sy because of foul shooting since they would start being aggressive and fouling.

 

[cuseattle]

FSU just ran a clinic on breaking a press.

 

[OrangeDW]

Fine.

If it’s Sy vs. Jimmy then….the better ball handler and defender probably offers more. They both stink from the FT line.

Great game! Look As already stated, Joe and Jesse with 38 points on only15 fields goal attempts! Buddy and Jimmy with 38 points on 30 field goal attempts. More shots for Jesse and Joe please!

 

[Ozone!]

Good win; Jesse rocks good shooting and effort day!

 

[NineOneSeven]

DUKE!

By no means is it all on Jesse for this to keep happening, but he has to figure out how to not foul out.

He's fouling out so much that it's becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy each game. Refs are looking to call fouls on him.

Again, it's not all on him. He's covering up a lot of defensive deficiencies, but we got to keep him around for the end of the game.

He is so important and so good, we need him to stick around each game.
