Thanks as always for the recap.

[B]BlackSquirrels Top 5 Howler Power Rankings, 2/18/22

1. “We do setup screens every time. But that doesn’t get you open shots against a good defense. We set more screens than anybody.”[/B]

Agree that most plays feature screens, but setting more screens than ANYBODY? That’s a stretch.

Most SU plays seem to feature an early screen up top to get into the offense. Then there might be an off-ball screen to free someone up for a jumper, or, more likely, an isolation. I tuned into an Iowa game this week and they were running off-ball screens all over the place.

[B]2. On the MLB labor situation: JB: “They don’t’ need anything. They should just play ball.”[/B]

They can’t play because they’re locked out. I love how JB complains about how dumb Cuse fans can be and his opinions on other sports are generic, “Jimmy calling from a mobile phone” sports radio caller takes.

[B]3. Georgia Tech has lost three in a row but “they still have players”.[/B]

It sounds like JB was very low-energy this show if this is the best compliment he could come up with for an opponent. I think he was more effusive for Lehigh earlier this year.

[B]4. “we [the ACC] will get a lot of teams in the tourney and they will do well.”[/B]

We shall see.

[B]5. The lakers without Anthony Davis “can’t do it. They have too many problems. They could get blown up and have no players next year.”[/B]

WHAT? Is Melo leaking some insider info about LeBron to JB?
