We should be good.

[jgeorge322]

Lots of rookie mistakes. Bad shots. Jgiii should not start here but still like him off bench. I think well habe a good year.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Yeah. Lots to like about that effort. If we have Buddy we win.

 

[bigmike]

Team will learn from tonight’s L.

 

[dasher]

Yeah. Lots to like about that effort. If we have Buddy we win.

Or Sid

 

[Eric15]

We need to establish Q and Marek in the low post way more. We lost because among other things we settled for way too many garbage jumpers.

 

[OrangeDW]

2 guys gotta find their roles and play smarter and more unselfish.

Jimmy is usually good at getting the right guys taking the right shots and playing their roles. Hopefully he can pull it off with this group. Lots of potential if he can.

 

[Trueblue25]

agreed.

Q wow.

Soooooo many wasted possessions. It was maddening.

 

[UpstateSM]

By the time we play again I’ll feel good about how we played tonight down two starters.

But having the game in our hands and giving it away without a fight hurts my heart.

 

[Cuse House]

Quincy has found a jumper and Richmond is a stud. We are much better than last year. This team will be as good as their shot selection is. If we let Kadary work with the ball, we will be great on offense. Our bigs have passing skills. I like this team a lot.

 

[721Comstock]

agreed.

Q wow.

Q had himself a game.

He has hit multiple 3’s! In JB’s lifetime!!
And his shot looks pure.
I’m surprised now when they don’t go in.

 

[FrancoPizza]

Depends who sits for Buddy

He did...and then we stopped passing him the ball.

So dumb...was literally on fire!

I agree, shot selection and rebounding going forward will determine the team's success. Outrebounded by 17 tonight. Also would be nice to have a rim protector the way the top of the zone allows penetration.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Saw some really nice plays on offense along with some of the same old garbage jump shots. Clean that up and we should be ok

 

[Eric15]

What this team needs is for JBA to be given more opportunities to handle the ball 40 feet from the basket.

He could shoot 6-7 threes while he’s out there.

Kidding aside - he’s had those 2 sweeeet dimes in the paint.

He missed the J he took tonite, but his form looks good and it was just off, not a brick at all.
Unlike - oh hi, Joe!

Griffin’s shot selection REALLY needs to be reigned in. Like...really reigned in. He’s talented but good God. He can’t be a decision maker. Run the floor, catch oops and spot up. If it’s not a dunk or a good look from 3 that’s been set up...pass it. Then go cut or something, and get away from the ball.

And Joe needs to be the backup PG who can go off the ball and you ride him a bit when he gets hot.

If those two things successfully happen and we get Sidibe back and he’s in shape to help, and we could be dangerous.

 

[orangefog]

Great to see this thread. I agree. This team is in it’s infancy. Rutgers is big, experienced and physical. Buddy and Sidibe would have really helped. I think Kadary passed the test. He wasn’t perfect, but once he settled in he was running the point well. Guerrier was really good. And, although he took some crazy stupid shots, Griffin is a weapon. He just needs to work on his shot selection. Marek was good. Woody was good. Joe...was there.

 

[Eric15]

What’s the deal with Jesse Edwards? Does he have an injury that I’m not aware of?

We need a rim protector. He’s like 7 feet tall. He’s a sophomore. Is he capable of playing basketball?

Really starting to worry AG is just trying to put together his reel for the NBA.

 

[Cuse House]

Oh hey guys, while we are at it Kadary>Jackson. What a blessing that was, can I get an amen?

 

[Cusefan0307]

Really starting to worry AG is just trying to put together his reel for the NBA.

I think we are going to have to deal with that shot selection. I get it’s not ideal, but he can score when he gets going and does compete on the glass. Hopefully a lot of those shots go to Buddy when he gets back.
