Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Already seeing the totally same garbage narrative about Carmelo re-surface. I saw a fair amount of this game, and i’m not sure how Melo is supposed to defend 27-foot three pointers while he was resting on the bench. The guy drains 18 points on 40% shooting and he gets ripped too? Give me a break. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/carmelo-anthony-is-starting-to-look-more-like-his-old-self-for-better-and-for-mostly-worse/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Offense look pretty darn good. I think today (granted Bucknell ?) was the highest 1st half point total since like 2013 or something? I love the pace at which they like to play, and Hughes can put it on the deck now? Wow...look for him to enter the draft after this season. JG3 will be our starting PG for the next 4 years, and Buddy our starting SG for the next three. Beautiful. Jesse Edwards would be a good redshirt candidate, IMO. Most polished offensive skills for a C since maybe Melo? He is waaaaay too slight of frame though. His defense is awful because he gets absolutely man handled out there. What’s up with Braswell? Injured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Edwards already cannot RS because he has already played games.. only way would be a medical RS As for Bobby Braswell, you know Boeheim only likes to play 3 forwards typically Hughes and Marek with Quincy G seem to have that stranglehold..

Buddy Boeheim is missing a ton of shots, the only thing he's supposed to be good at. This might be the worst Syracuse team of my adult life. I think they screwed the pooch with Hopkins and left this program in Dire Straits. I hope they recover but it's getting ugly. I'm not sure they are going to win more than they will lose.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I’m not going to gripe at how bad this team is. We all can see it. But if they don’t at least get to a level of decency, the ACC schedule will be a nightmare. They will get blown out by Duke and UNC and Louisville by 30 or 40 points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's painful. What's been really bad has been how sloppy they have been. Even in years past, when they have struggled shooting, they still mostly play a clean game. But this year, they are turning the ball over, getting beat back up the court on defense, fumbling easy catches, forcing ugly shots, getting pushed around on the boards, committing bad fouls, you name it. It's just ugly, sloppy ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 What is particularly vexing to me is how poorly JG3 has been shooting since the Okla St game. No way we have a chance if he is shooting 23% from the field. Also, Joe badly needs to work on his defense. I expected a learning curve with the defense, but I didn’t expect the poor shooting.

section122 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I'm a season ticket holder and have been for 5 or so years at this point. You have all seen a lot of what I will post but here is my view from the nose bleeds. Sidibe has improved quite a bit this year. However he shouldn't be a starting 5. He is better around the basket but he is still too skinny to do any real damage down there. Would be a great big to have coming off the bench. Dolezaj hasn't improved since his Freshman year. What's worse is he now has so many boneheaded fouls. His trademark hustle seems to have disappeared. Of everyone he is probably the person I am most disappointed with this year. Eli Hughes is my favorite player on the team. However he isn't someone that will dominate a game or take one over. He is a good player and starter level in the ACC but he isn't a #1 option on a team. Buddy Boeheim should be at cornell with his brother. He is a good shooter but his athleticism leaves a lot to be desired. He could be a really nice 6th man of the bench however I fear he will be eaten alive once ACC play starts. JGIII plays with enthusiasm which is nice. He and Buddy play well with each other but having both of them on the court at the same time leaves the guards lacking elite athleticism. The moment doesn't seem to big for him which is nice and he is only a freshman so I won't be too hard but again I fear what will become of him once ACC play starts. Boeheim has a very short leash on Guerrier and Goodine which is frustrating to watch. They don't get any benefit of the doubt and immediately look to the sideline when they make a mistake. Buddy and JG have no such worries. I really like Jesse Edwards. He is very slight of frame but you can see the skill he has. Cuse is lacking elite players and has an entire team of guys that would be served moving down a peg. This is going to be a long year. Usually they are playing cream puffs right now and nobody sees how the season will shape up, this year they have kind of been thrown to the wolves. Hope it is good long term but this is going to be a long bumpy road. Iowa, Penn State, and Ok State are not even the tops of their conferences and they had their way with SU. This team might only make it to 12 or 13 wins. Seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't had a big man that was an actual threat after setting screens since Tyler Lydon. Jesse Edwards and Jon Bol Ajak could theoretically develop into that guy, though I'm pretty skeptical of both of them. Girard should be fine as a PG if we convert to a pick-and-roll based offense; unfortunately Boeheim still has us running a ton of isolations and dribble hand-offs and we just don't have the pieces for that style of play at all. Granted we also don't have the big man for the pick-and-roll offense, but it would probably be much more successful than what we're currently doing. Aside from a big man that can catch passes, we badly need to start getting guys to actually attempt to box out; it seems like Boeheim just doesn't really value rebounding because we've pretty much never had a team that actually boxes people out aside from 1 or 2 players. We should in theory have the shooting we need with this roster, and I think Girard has shown enough to have some faith that he can be the primary creator long-term. But we don't have the big man we need, the offensive system we need, or the effort to try to rebound that we need, and unfortunately, if Edwards/JBA don't develop, we don't seem to have a plan on how to address that (at least at the moment).
