Wake Forest Postgame

[hoopsupstate]

This game was on Lampkin and Freeman. They have to show up. Neither can guard anyone. Taylor, Cuffe and Carlos played up. Freeman. Lampkin, Bell and Moore were no shows.

We are at the we didn't make shots portion of the season

So we've reached this portion of the show. We just need to hit shots??? I need to watch this presser. I hope there's questions about subbing and why we continue to start games and halves so poorly.

I remember Red saying he wants to play 9-10 guys, what happened to that?

I sort of agree with this. Eddie and Donnie are getting a bit of a pass.

The dirt worst.

THE GAME IS ON THE COACH.

That was awful coaching by Red the worst I have seen in the second half. The second half would have been better if Red got ejected at half time.

 

[djcon57]

We were down 16-2 when More was in. He started the second half and right away gave up a three. He can’t play with that kind of defense.

Are you claiming Moore started the second half?

Wrong. Red kept us in the game by not playing Bell and Moore. As soon as the both of them were on the floor Wake went right at them.

Please stop lying. I beg you.

Neither played the second half. We went -8 in the 2nd half

 

[hoopsupstate]

Are you claiming Moore started the second half?

As soon as he came in later in the first half he immediately gave up a three.

I’m sure the TO differential of 9 had nothing to do with it.

You said "He started the second half and right away gave up a three"

You do understand the concept of halves in basketball?

In the first half. That’s why they didn’t play the second half.

 

[phil77]

If all the players stayed in the same jersey and just the coaches switched seats Syracuse would win the game.

 

[Eric15]

On a scale of 1-10, 10 being "I'm foaming at the mouth to get to SU and make an impact" and 1 is "joining this dumpster fire just because my Dad went here 20 years ago is the biggest mistake of my life"... I wonder where Kiyan is mentally right now. I honestly have no idea, I'm just curious. It may very well be 10.

 

[Bill Orange]

It was fun when Kyle Cuffe went full Spud Webb for a bit and Lucas Taylor was hitting fadeaways but…

Glad the starting lineup changed in the 2nd but the rotations continue to confuse me. Not surprising considering everything though.

Bell’s regression is historic.

When was the last time we entered the new year mid-season under 0.500?

1968-69 season.

 

[swish7]

Hunh, I guess there was a game today

 

[Scooch]

I sort of agree with this. Eddie and Donnie are getting a bit of a pass.

Yeah, no one on this team is remotely good enough. Not a single one of them would make the 8 man rotation of our best teams from the 00s and early 10s.

 

[realorange]

I’m sure the TO differential of 9 had nothing to do with it.

Are we a good team? No
Is Red doing a good job coaching? No
Does the team understand the need to value the ball? NO

In spite of Red's need to coach better, this game still could have been won if the team was able to go more than twice down the floor without throwing the ball away. And they found many ways to do it. High school teams do a better job of simply being thoughtful about making a pass or driving into nowhere.

I'm beginning to wonder how smart some of these players are!

 

[IthacaMatt]

I don't know if the answer is Moore or Cuffe but I do know the answer is not Carlos

I would like to see Cuffe with Moore. Red seems to think of Cuffe as a 2G exclusively, and that's just wrong.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Today's crunch time lineup was something.

Got to be the worst of my lifetime.

Just incredible stuff.

Chris Bell just Chuck Knoblauchin' his way to the pine.

Lampkin is "old man at the park" game manifest for better and for worse.

Carlos, just, I'm done.

Another poor start, another baffling rotation.

Red's drowning.

 

[JustPherU]

I think Fran Brown could take 10 guys from the football team and play a game of basketball against Red’s squad and make it competitive if not win. Sounds ridiculous, but that’s how bad of a coach I think Red is.

 

[The Burden]

This thread is 100x more entertaining than the game was...

 

[jdubs30]

This isn’t the first time Red has completely forgotten to sub during the 2nd half

 

[PhatOrange]

We are at the we didn't make shots portion of the season

Yeah that and the 18 turnovers.

 

[Col. Bleep]

Yeah sure...they just have to make some shots.
Haven't we heard that someplace?

Turnovers are killing them.
And how about teaching basic defense?

Check out the play at 4:42 in below.
Carlos comes from cross court to try to close out a 3.
Can someone explain what kind of defensive scheme this is?
