inkman Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Cuse rolling, me illegally streaming crappy games against crappy teams to see them. Griffin and Richmond as advertised, Newton has been a pleasant surprise. Dolezaj doesn’t look any better than his freshman year, possibly worse. He missed more point blank shots and layups than anyone I’ve seen since Craig Forth and he’s been facing 6’6” & 6’7” dudes. Serious question, is this team better without Buddy? A lot longer and more athletic that’s for sure. I could see a role for him coming off the bench. Seems like the thing Boeheim might do to his kid. 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Buddy will reclaim his starting spot no doubt, but I think Kadary will get burn at PG and SG. Log lam at SF. We need Sidibe back badly before conference play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bray Wyatt Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Good to see them come back from down 10, looked like they didn’t know who to go to in crunch time. Girard idk what was up with him but we was terrible. We missed buddy and his outside shot Tough loss, I think this team has a lot of potential if they can get their stuff together Edited December 9, 2020 by Bray Wyatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bermuda Triangle Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Girard is a chucker. He'll get hot once in a while, but when he's off (which is most of the time), he brings pretty much nothing else to the table. Brutal shot selection from him and Griffin tonight. Richmond is gonna be GOOD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Kind of a moral victory against Rutgers, as sad as that it is to say. This team has a lot of ballers and a lot of length. The offense and passing in the second half was as smooth as I have seen it, as opposed to the normal iso ball. I will echo what others have said about Girard. He is a real disappointment, and I’d rather see Richmond at the 1 when Buddy comes back. Guerrier has really developed a nice 3-point stroke. I fear he is gone after this year.

He’s always been a poor defender, but he has been particularly bad this year. Rutgers went right at him all game long. He looks flat out there....unmotivated, slow, out of shape (maybe?). I wonder if there is something going on with him outside of basketball. Hope he turns it around. We need him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bray Wyatt Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Buddy could not hit anything today, thought girard and Guerrier had a great game. I think we need to run our offense through guerrier in the post and if the collapse on him then kick it out and swing it to girard or boeheim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Not taking my victory lap yet on Richmond, but I still think he's going to be one of the best players we've had in quite a while provided the NBA doesn't come calling too early. Curious to see what we do when Sidibe returns. I think the correct answer is bringing him off the bench. We should have 2 of Guerrier, Dolezaj, and Sidibe on the floor at all times but never all 3 of them IMO. To me, the ideal lineup is Kadary, Buddy, Griffin, Guerrier, and Dolezaj with Girard, Woody (who has really shocked me with his play so far), and Sidibe off the bench.

I hear ya, but don’t you think we’ll need Sidibe at the 5 for conference play? Dolezaj is crafty and gets by against the bigs from these smaller programs, but I think we’ll need Sidibe’s length and shot blocking ability against better ACC big men. There lies the dilemma. You want both Dolezaj and Guerrier on the floor. Guerrier could play the 3, but you want Griffin out there to stretch the defense. Good problem to have I suppose. I don’t see Girard losing his starting spot to Kadary, but JG3 will have a short leash for sure. He’s such a defensive liability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could just be a Buffalo staffer twice removed from any Syracuse player. with the games so tightly played in NCAA though, there are going to be a ton of cancelations this year.

Talking smack to opposing players is part of the game...chirping at opposing coaches is just wrong. I hope they can reconcile this because Syracuse should play UB every season.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Pretty bad loss to Pitt. We should beat that team. Just went into a prolonged slump and got beat on the boards again. by the way, it may just be, but Griffin is too much of a ball Hog and does a generally terrible job boxing out and playing D.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Great win against Miami tonight. Defense clicking and the offense looks a lot better when the guards can make baskets. Nice to see Edwards get some minutes. Tough stretch coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I’ll say one thing other than Joe Girard is much better off ball. Kadary Richmond and Jesse Edwards (until Sidibe returns) should be getting significant minutes at PG @ C. If the plan is to ride Dolezaj at center for the rest (or most) of the season, we’re gonna get beat up embarrassingly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Boeheim is saying both Buddy and Joe G had the 'vid during the 18 day stretch that they were inactive because of the UB staffer that tested positive.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Big win today, and the best overall performance this season, IMO. They looked different on defense, got steals, and rebounded well. The offense started off chucking up bad long range shots initially, but seemed to make a concerted effort to drive to the basket down the stretch which opened things up for our shooters. Griffin with a nice comeback game...guy was an animal out there. Dolezaj and Guerrier were huge. I still prefer Kadary at PG and Joe G off ball. There is an appreciable difference in both the offense and defense with KR running the point, IMO. I like the 3 guard lineup with Buddy at the 3, but I just don’t see how they can keep Griffin off the court. Big game in Charlottesville on Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate the summary. Glad to hear Griffin played better. When Pitt smoked us, he was probably the weakest link— get crushed on the boards and on D and forcing a lot of shots. I assume Edwards went back into the abyss? Was hoping he would be a regular part of the rotation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hustled, played great defense, got some steals, was all over the boards, and scored from all over the court. Edwards got a few minutes, but quickly got the hook and I don’t think ever returned. Didn’t really make any terrible mistakes, but also didn’t do anything. Dolezaj was also a beast today which could have kept Jesse on the bench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
