Postgame Thoughts... Duke

[NineOneSeven]

So Frank could technically play but does not. Good to know I guess.

 

[Cusesky8214]

Wasn't AG effective and played within himself at Illinois? Could it be our style of play (or lack of style) that is hurting him?

 

[Cusefan0307]

I mean he is technically right on Anselem. He came out a year early. I have been saying that this was always a redshirt year for him.

 

[two3zone]

I feel like he uses this line everytime we lose.

When he said Louisiana Tech was a great team I think back in 2015 I gave up on his judgment of opponents.

 

[dasher]

The morale of it is just to shut up. He won't say anything of substance about his own team and struggles and then takes the time to make a super dumb comment about a freshman at another school.

Or calla 5 star center that is hoping we will at least call him.

I don't care about the "who's right" w/r/t Jalen Johnson, the issue is that it's a TOPIC AT ALL AS IT PERTAINS TO SYRACUSE.

It's an absolutely bone-headed move by JB.

I expect ESPN to drag out drama. JB has to avoid it.

I think he played 20 mpg for a many of the reasons we get frustrated with him.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Well I counted 6 guys running around not playing D. The others are just liars. 100 bucks it was AG that admitted it

Again this weeks coaches show is gonna be straight fire

 

[Orangezoo]

OK...this one ill get on Jim for.
you recruited these guys, friend

Well at least by God we have Buddy and Marek. We just might be Rider without them.

It’s easier when your team runs a structured offense

This is the correct take IMO.
Bilas was a pri@k but JB put himself in the situation for no reason.

Even though his point actually may be right.
However in 2021 the truth doesn’t really matter sadly some times it’s perception and narratives.

Nashville is the bachelorette capital of the US!

Could never live in vol territory. I’d rather live in a igloo

 

[Cusesky8214]

JB should probably skip the post game pressers the rest of the year...hes giving the media too much ammo to use against him...hes getting grouchy-er

1) With AG you never know what kind of effort you're going to get. Has talent but totally inconsistent and doesn't like playing zone defense. Would probably be more engaged if played m2m. Yet you look at the end of the game and his stats are pretty good. But his D is poor and hurts others.
2) JGIII is a very limited player. Too slow and lacking athleticism to get major minutes on a good ACC team. The kind of player we used to feast on when playing mid majors. And I like the kid.
3) MD plays hard every game but he's not a center and with him in the middle of the zone it just doesn't work. Put Fab in the middle this year and the team D would be light years better.
4) This is not a NCAAT team. The season will end early. And this pattern will continue unless JB gets better players and every year we become more irrelevant it gets less likely to recruit what we need to get back to winning.

How in the world do you know whether he likes playing zone or not? It isn't like we sprung this on him after he got here. And we don't have Fab. Nor do we have Melo. We have what we have.

 

[AZOrange]

Oof

Just a devastating take on our recruiting

Yup. I said it last week and I’ll say it again: most coaches desperately try to limit all distractions for their team. JB seems to relish in creating distractions. It’s exhausting and counter-productive.

Absolutely.

Yea that was kinda where I was going with it!

 

[orangemass]

Unwatchable cluster

oh, jeez.

Just be quiet. So sick of his petty pissing matches.

We're reaching a point where Wildhack might have to step in, we're reaching Bowden/Paterno end of career problems.

 

[Alsacs]

STOP TALKING. My god.

 

[two3zone]

Sure, but we also made them look that good without contesting anything. That was Dukes 3rd highest scoring game and best shooting game all year.

We made BC look like a below average team, but they’re far worse than that.

 

[dasher]

I don’t think as a player you can put him in that roll after anointing him the starter last year. Just can’t see him taking the role here.

He did it to the first Alan griffin.
