Postgame Thoughts... BC (game 2)

[djcon57]

Ftr, Kadary didn’t play very well today. No one had any issues with the majority of Joe mins, especially in the 1st half.

to suggest Kadary isn’t somehow the best defensive guard on the team and that analyitics don’t matter is...its just sad. We can all see that Kadary is better at defense than Joe and Buddy.

 

[NineOneSeven]

What are the odds we lose Kadary, Woody, Bras this off-season? I rate it highly

I don't

 

[721Comstock]

He yelled at Kadary when Joe threw the ball away. He’s been really weird lately.

How about the 2-3 lazy Buddy TO’s where he got stripped and then out-hustled to the loose ball?

JB said nada. Sad. Just sad.

I can’t see Kadary transferring, but if he does...

This is exactly it.

He's lying about stuff for no reason.

He could have just said: "Joe was hitting shots and playing a great game. We rode the hot hand and got Kadary in when we could. We got the win, glad we made our shots today."

 

[Col. Bleep]

Nothing new.
The classic incident was after game against UNC that sent the team to the Final 4 in '87.
At the post game news conference he was ripping the team for all it did wrong (they never trailed the entire game).
Rony Seikaly cut him off saying, "Coach we just won. We didn't lose!"

 

[Bayside44]

IDK, JB is clearly old school. Those guys are super hard (not like that Chip) because they want great talents to become great players.

Please give us Ajax at PF for 15 minutes a game against taller teams. Almost begging. Why is he running screen and roles, and he can't dribble much. He should be running bump hip to hip. He's 215 an inch taller than a guy named carmelo. He would be serviceable at pf, if he's serviceable to press in the open court, it's just mind-boggling. At best annoy their forwards by bumping them a bit for 10 minutes. He took a nice charge at the center today, he could take that at PF most nights per 6 minutes.

The sad reality is, we will never shoot 35% from 3 when they stuff Guerrier with a 6'9/6'10 mobile PF, which leads to no inside-out 3's. It's almost like watching every game except when we are playing teams built like Pitt, UNC, Virginia, or someone as tall as them. Carolina State should have gone tall against us all game. Our starting 6 are doing amazing things, and Brass is trying, but that is the sad reality atm.

Win another game... right back to the same rhetoric. Does anyone ever get tired of re-runs?

NEVER. *turns on office AGAIN*

His airing of grievances is unbecoming.
Like I was sorta thinking Pat should back down but chit like this makes me want to do a full analytical report of our roster and send it to him to read on air.

 

[HoustonCuse]

How so?

Seems like we had better ball movement, which led to better shots, which led to better shooting. It could be my imagination, but we don't look nearly as good now. I remember being very excited about the offense I was seeing. Now, not as much.

Who would you bench if you play Jon Bol for 15 at PF. I’m sorry but you lose way too
Much offensively if you sit Quincy, Marek or Griffin. Ajak is in no way the answer and should not get minutes from any of those three.

Cuse

You post like a guy who prides himself on playing physical defense in pickup games.

 

[OmahaCuse]

KR is a good FT shooter and much better defender, not to mention can break down a defense when we play stall ball. Up 10 with 5:00 to go he should have been on the floor.

 

[Red Holzman]

It’s a direct shot at my exact question to him on Thursday.
I explained Defensive box plus minus and how good Kadary was in it and now he takes a shot the next Friggin post game.

Wel Alsacs...
Remember its just you and "40-50" other fans questioning JB's rotation!

 

[syrBossHogg]

I think @Lville will determine our postseason fate. I think we can beat ND, GT, Duke, and maybe even UNC. Running the table ROS gets us a bid IMO

 

[Cusesky8214]

JB going straight loko...I don't get it. The fans being upset with him the past few years must be starting to really get under his skin or something.

 

[Madbiker]

Never put the ball in Buddy's hands in a tight and late situation. Terrible ball handler, he'll lose it. He lost it twice today. He's also a surprisingly poor free throw shooter.

Griff and guerrier 6'5 6'7. Marek 30 pounds under at center.

Try that against someone 2 inches taller and just as strong as Guerrier at PF, and a center as tall/taller than Dolez with 40 more pounds than him. It's just a recipe for disaster against taller teams on both ends.
Girard Buddy will have to drive to shoot 80% of the competitive portion of the game before were blown out again, and Griffin will be forcing long shots with some turnovers, while getting doubled every now and then off the dribble again. Dolezaj would have to work some magic running the offense he ran last year, but it's worth it getting ready to go tall for 15 against tall teams.
Bull is good to draw a charge at PF per 5-6 minutes.

UNC big boys us every time on the boards. So beating them is unlikely unless we shoot the lights out. Duke is playing better now ... just in time for us. Too bad we didn't get them earlier. GT is a tough match up. Not optimistic about any road game. IMO we need to win 4-5 to have any chance of sneaking into a tourney bid.

 

[Charbroil]

Buddy’s inability to get a loose ball amazes me. Three times in the 2nd half there was a loose ball near mid court, and he was the player in best position to get it each time. But all 3 times he was beaten to the ball. And that led directly to 6 BC points. I like Buddy for the most part but that was infuriating.

 

[GooseMutt]

Allan Griffin for president! Boeheim “ Picken” right players at right time

 

[jgeorge322]

To be clear, I am actually pretty happy with this win. I think that BC coach is actually a pretty darn good coach. He just doesn’t have the players or luck with personnel. I just like us to clean up some things. Like getting loose balls we should get.

For sure but even when they outrebound us we've managed to make it a close game a few times over the years
