Because the SU game wasn't on here, I watched the Jets last night. OMG. You think [I]we[/I] got problems? Oh Lord

I've only seen the SC and Wiscy games, but I think you're correct on the chemistry issue. Obviously these guys haven't played together much, which everyone knows. But what I saw lacking was hustle on D and no sense of timing on O. There are just too many guys out there who still seem to think of zone D in terms of the tavern league 2-1-2: older, fat guys trying to take up as much space as possible, hoping the ball comes to them. In the final 4 run last year, they played their asses off on D. Now they're drifting, floating, whatever you want to call it, but there's no commitment to it, no ownership of it. It's like they don't believe in it, and don't know [I]how[/I] to believe in it.

On O, nobody seems to move with any sense that they know what they're doing. They're tentative. Driving lanes and passing lanes are there but are closed up before they can capitalize. Post players seem to wonder why they should work to get open because the ball doesn't come, and perimeter players are not ready with the ball to enter it at the right time. Seems they're too busy looking (hoping?) for their own shot first, because the post isn't open. Well, of course it isn't, you missed it/weren't ready for it.

Boeheim plays from his own basket out (read: defense first), and there's no faith in it right now. Worse, the lack of boilerplate level faith has spread to rest of the operation.

Sounds just like the Jets. :noidea:
