Scoop

[Obie9]

Wish all you scoop haters would .

You have to admit that he runs hot and cold. He's hot right now. Hope he stays that way for another 12 minutes.

 

[alibrat66]

These touch fouls are killing us. Plus, they ruin the freaking game. Let them play, refs.

 

[Gabjon]

Scoop is the biggest rhythm player I have ever seen! When he is in his rhythm he is very very good, when he is out of rhythm he is not a D1 player!

i'll if he can go the rest of the game without being scoopid

 

[hoopsupstate]

When we get shots from movement and off good passes we make them. Much better than off the dribble.

Apology?

Look, Scoop has been big for us in crunch time, but he has played poorly enough over extended periods that the love/hate thing is well deserved.

I'm glad he's on the team, but people deserve to criticize him when he plays like a bonehead.

And they deserve to man-up (and confess error) when he has a great game. The dopes who wanted him pulled -- well . ..

God we have been waiting for 4 games for him to get it going, I don't think it's time to say I told you so. It's time we come together and celebrate that he has gotten out this funk and hope he can keep it going for four more.

As they used to say on the old "To Tell the Truth" show...will the real Scoop Jardine please stand up.

He certainly stood up when it counted.
Great 2nd half game.
Now we need to get CJ back in the groove.

 

[zhanjuzi]

I could not be happier for Scoop. Out of his funk when we needed him. If he keeps this up we are looking to go very far!

Since starting this guy has become a shadow of himself. There is more to the psychology of starting game than I could have imagined. Fortunately, JS has been incredible on both sides of the floor.

Looked like he was having trouble in the first half with the pressure, and then it looked like he could get by at will. Kid is streaky as hell lately, but you gotta love him offensively when he's on.

 

[Flacusian]

I'm a Scoop lover all day long. My only contention is that when he is stuggling and the team is struggling as a result, why not put MCW in for a couple minutes and let Scoop regroup? Not saying MCW over Scoop. That is absurd and not what is intended. I just say that MCW deserves and has earned a few minutes in these games. And... great 2nd half for Scoop and the entire team.

 

[Henny & Coke]

I wish that people who are happy with Jardine for playing one brilliant half of basketball in the past 4 games (and then have the balls to chide others for being upset about the poor play of the other 3 or so games) would .

I think most of us would agree with you. He has deserved some time and I'm so glad MCW is the biggest cheerleader on the bench right now. He's so excited and nervous that he couldn't sit down. Really made me mad not giving him the two minutes before halftime. If Dion picked up his third it could have been a different outcome if not just a mental blow. Instead Scoop really turned it on and now we have a chance again. Let's hope it continues!

scoop jardine stand up and take a bow. you the man.

 

[Dick_in_MI]

He was a man in the second half.

Can fans please stop with the supid -ing "Scoopid" comments?

I can't recall too many SU players who have gotten so much abuse by the fans. Some of it is probably meant to be funny but isn't, some of it is from our resident hoops board version of Perry Patterson's Grandma, and who knows what the rest comes from.

As pointed out in today's game, Scoop and KJ held this team together in the locker room through more than most teams could have stood.

If your favorite heartthrob isn't playing, fine. If Scoop is struggling in a game, fine. It's OK to be upset.

But never disrespect an SU player by calling him a name. He has given more on the floor than 99.99999% of the internet posting clowns (including me) will ever do.

 

[Obie9]

Hey pal, please find a post where I have "chided others" . I would like you to find it for me please.

Yeah, that is pretty frustrating. I've never particularly cared for the good scoop/bad scoop thing either. Although I think some people do it as a joke now.

OK, well maybe I misinterpreted the point of your thread. I took it to mean that you wish all the scoop haters would shut the up. Is this not what you meant? If so, I'd consider that chiding others, no? If not, then I'm more than willing to hear what was really meant.

If JB is going to play Scoop as much as he does, I think Scoop is the most important guy on the floor. Sure I'd like to see at least a little of MCW when Scoop is off, but I think JB's confidence in Scoop helps him bounce back. At any rate, I'm not into calling any of our players names, even the Good Scoop/Bad Scoop thing. JB told him to take the shots he was given, but I can imagine the reaction on here if a couple of those makes were misses instead.

 

[PhatOrange]

Apology?

I'm not sure what you want us to man up about. When he's not scoopid we are 1000x a better team. But I don't get upset when he misses shots. I get upset at him when he's scoopid.

Getting offense from him is a HUGE bonus but not what drives the bus. He's needed to make good veteran decisions and direct traffic.

Its the same with KJ. He didn't do much the 2nd half but even so, we're a better team just by him giving a 110%, playing hard and being assertive.

edit - Dick I'll stop with the scoopid comments but it is just too perfect to describe his play at times. I'll go back to last years phrase What The Scoop instead.

Be careful now. You might be infering that JB knows what he is doing.
There are those that are willing to say Scoop had a good game today, but don't expect them to say that about JB.
