He's 5'11" and tried to sneak a layup by a 7'1" center. That was mind boggling. He has some really great plays, but then follows it up with something incredibly stupid.
His shot wasn’t falling today that’s for sure! But aren’t you suppose to contribute in other areas if that’s the case? Like rebounds (6), or assists (4), or steals (3)? And he was the only player who was a “plus”. But I get it, he’s a terrible defender and when he came out of the game with 10 minutes left it was a 1 point game. He was replaced by our future lottery pick all-world defender. You might want to watch the last play and see how that worked out.
Absolutely. He was second in rebounds and tops in assists and steals. Kadary got blown by easily without a pick on the final play and his late rotations gave up two threes on his side. People are justified on knocking Joe at times but, willing to give Kadary an excuse. If he was that hurt he shouldnt be in the game. I wish people would stop playing the two against each other and be thankful we have two real good players who bring different things to the table.
Heck, even just pull up and shoot a tear drop over the big fella.
Maybe it's just me, but losing in never the best case scenario.
Sure, but my theory helps me deal with it
Everyone plays zone baseline inbounds. Not sideline. It wouldn’t happen only because we don’t do it. Huge difference between inbound plays under the basket and sideline. Watching man and ball is a completely different challengs under the basket. My point is not that it would happen, but it would have been effective.
He was stuck, he lets him go by there is another defender, which worked because the driver passed the ball, he had to defend the pass to the man on top of the key. I wouldn’t call it blown by, we play a zone, not man.
Hall of fame coach Jim Boeheim obviously felt that even with his injury he was playing better than Joe to justify playing him at the end.
Lol. Man you’ve been HOLDING that one.
We had 5 players watching the guy with the ball losing track of everyone else.
He made a three then proceeded to take a shot without passing the next two possessions, including a three from the top of key with 20 seconds plus on the shot clock and a defender in front of him and one to the side, next play he came and shot a mid ranger that went off the side of the rim. When you have someone like Buddy who was that hot, if he doesn’t touch the ball once 3 times down the court you’re doing something wrong. Joe wasn’t good and while last game he played like a real player, he absolutely reverted back to chucker Joe this game.
Like oh say Griff...
Buddy was at the elbow because he needed to shade onto Hauser, who’s a deadly 3-point shooter.
I also walked for 3 miles, and nearly got blown off my feet by this little zephyr we’ve got going in Syracuse today. I came back in a slightly more philosophical mood.
