He is just the biggest walking contradiction at this point...I take nothing he says serious these days
Exactly. Why does this faulty logic apply to Buddy but not to Bras? Had that game where he hit those 3's in the first half, then rode the bench all second half!
Jesse plays well and contributes one game, has an I guess "bad" practice, and watches Marek get big-boyed in yet another pathetic loss.
How about a concept of "Oh isht, this crap ain't working- we're getting shredded! So...let's try something else" for a change, Jim?
There's some truth to that. I don't think we had that many blowouts in conference play. It would be interesting to see whether those guys played 40 min in the tough games.When we had DC, Owens, Douglas, Stevie — we were blowing teams out. Didn’t have to scratch out wins. Same for Michael Jordan at NC - his NC teams were winning easily, he can let the subs finish.
‘Also depends on who your next 2 or 3 guys are on the bench. How much drop off from the starters?
Thanks for the recap.
What I've learned is that Bourama Sidibe is a combination of Bill Russell and Shaquille O'Neal. But better.
Apparently losing him has been like the USA Swimming relay team losing Michael Phelps. Guy is a first ballot, hall of famer.
JB is clearly most comfortable with the designated starters on the court for as long as possible. With some exceptions, this has been his primary MO for 45 years. Kadary's play has forced his hand this year to a degree, so he is seeing minutes every game. The "reasons" he gives in the PCs, especially after loses, have increasingly sounded like rationalizations to support playing the starters. It doesn't seem to matter if those rationalizations are contradictory, inconsistent, not supported by stats, or nonsensical. I'd much rather hear him say: "I play who I play and those are the players I think are the best. Period. I'm accountable for the results tonight and at the end of the season."He is just the biggest walking contradiction at this point...I take nothing he says serious these days
You think so? I think it suggests you don't believe what the person had to say.When you exaggerate what someone said it suggests you don't have an argument against what they actually said.
I wasn't criticizing you, SWC.When you exaggerate what someone said it suggests you don't have an argument against what they actually said.
My reply would be why there isn’t another option on the roster?I wasn't criticizing you, SWC.
Boeheim seems all in on the notion that our lack of center play is, by far, the biggest thing harming the team. It's a big factor, no doubt, but the impact that Sidibe might have had is being built up to legendary proportions, IMHO.

Sarcasm is a way of responding. JB uses it too.Then respond to what was actually said.
Last two games have been blowouts in two different directions yet we still see the same guys playing until the end. Seems like your logic may be flawed.When we had DC, Owens, Douglas, Stevie — we were blowing teams out. Didn’t have to scratch out wins. Same for Michael Jordan at NC - his NC teams were winning easily, he can let the subs finish.

He should also be reminded that our championship team went 8 deep:Steph Curry and Klay Thompson do come out of games! His take on minutes distribution and playing time is transparently ridiculous. He should be playing Jesse in the middle and Woody or Braswell at the wing every game.
Someone needs to remind him on one of these shows that guys like Melo didn’t even play 40 mpg! It is demonstrable that over the past decade he’s started playing guys (even mediocre or one dimensional players) way more minutes than he used to. He’s regressed as a coach in this and other areas.

Everybody want's to be big tough guys and call me out about my question towards JB about nepotism with Buddy (my only critique on him) If so many of you are upsets with his comments call him up next Thursday and call him out on them.

Kadary only goes if Buddy or Joe are cold at the 12min mark. I guarantee if Buddy and Joe are both making 3s to start the game, we don’t see KadaryJB is clearly most comfortable with the designated starters on the court for as long as possible.

I hear you. My point is that, unlike any other player on the bench, I don't think we will see a DNP after Kadary's name unless he is injured/sick. I agree, if Bubby and/or Joe are on fire, especially Buddy, they are going to see 35+ mins.Kadary only goes if Buddy or Joe are cold at the 12min mark.

All good points- though I’ll disagree that JB is fabricating reasons about his logic.I hear you.

If Buddy is on fire all game, I totally agree with JB that he is too much of a weapon not to have on the floor. He distorts the defense in ways that Joe cannot. What I have a problem with is leaving him on the floor 38+ under the premise that he could potentially get hot at any time. There are a couple of infamous posters in this thread who think pointing that out is "despicable" or disrespectful of JB. That's idiotic at best. I also think that JB should play whoever the hell he wants. Just don't fabricate reasons for doing so.
