re: Ben Simmons on ESPN2
Posted by BigRiver on 7/10/16 at 1:13 pm
THE Timing of poor performances was a factor in last year's failure. Ben S. not asserting hisself at crucial times of games.The Freshman Blakeney not coming on until the second half of the season.Even Hornsby played timid and turned the ball over a lot at a pivotal point of the season,for example-Al...

Anthony Randolph vs.Benny Sim
Posted by BigRiver on 4/2/16 at 1:04 pm
While AR was not hyped at all as a freshman and didn't have the weight and open court ball handling skills. He showed grit against the tough stronger players and played with intensity inspite of his slight size.He didn't fade when times got tough.Even in the NBA he was a young warrior.But as for is ...

Outclassed. Pros know how to make there job easy.Ameteurs struggle and don't know why.LSU=a hackman in foul trouble, a erractic point guard,no arsenal attack back court dual,no inside shot blocking at all,a 6'10 guy who don't know he should JUST turn and shoot when a players is on his hip-even when...

Does Ben know what time it is? He may missed the game with his lack of awareness. But he's a young, and believe it or not basketball players need experience to become masters of the trade to. He's a good open court big man though, good around the basket in most cases, but is missing the effective nu...
re: Pat Forde comes down hard on LSU/Simmons/Johnny in this article
Posted by BigRiver on 3/6/16 at 8:42 pm
"This team is still good enough to make a run if certain guys get hot and we get a few breaks with matchups".
Not if CJJ can't figure out how to get TQ to stop dribbling the ball, and focus on rebounding and Defense, and get some kind of motion offense,and keeping the middle unclogged, for Ben an...
re: Is there any reason in keeping Johnny Jones for another year?
Posted by BigRiver on 3/6/16 at 5:30 pm
I didn't see much of the games. You guys are pretty adamant about Jones not being a good coach, it's probably some truth to that. I am wondering did he position AB on the side(wing) of the court so that he could drive and use his left shoulder to protect the ball and finish with his right hand. And...
re: Is there any reason in keeping Johnny Jones for another year?
Posted by BigRiver on 3/6/16 at 10:51 am
The team had flaws and had people playing in positions they should have not and could not do effectively- due to not having the right size , quickness, or shooting ability.TQ is a slight SF playing PG TQ had no mid-range game, and could not create anything - and no PG quickness( he was a 3,but didn...
re: Ben said in the post game interview, he's the best player.
Posted by BigRiver on 3/6/16 at 10:17 am
"With him gone next year, the team will have to come together and not depend on him as a savior".
Boy I sure wish the team could get a real 3, who can shoot, handle ball a little, and run, and defend other 3. And not a guard trying to play that position. A real point guard and not a half-effectiv...
re: Is Ben a product of his press or being under coached?
Posted by BigRiver on 3/5/16 at 3:12 pm
Ben's got a 50-50 chance of being an All Star, but it's far from a lock. guys like Rashid Wallace, didn't play point forward on fast breaks, but you knew he was NBA type deadly shooters on the turn and shoot moves...

I would expect a number 1 pick to take over a game at this point instead of just hanging out walking around.
take over? he does even know a easy score when he gets the position to get one...

TQ is built to be a shooter not a half-speed ball handler.
But he can't shoot so where does that leave LSU and TQ...

"This is a poorly disciplined and prepared team".
basketball really isn't rocket science. There's no real playmaking-effcient point guard on this team. A simple pick to free up Blakeney can do wonders, except he is hesitating when he gets it throwing his own rythym off. Victor should be involved ...

re: Does LSU Team buy into Ben Simmons
Posted by BigRiver on 3/3/16 at 9:03 pm
No-look, passing into the post is whats needed.
The constant telegrahing ,signals the defense to front, the big man,so then the ball handlers decides to go elsewhere with the ball. The behind the back pass is the most effective no-look pass. Heck you can get little 8 year olders good open shots wit...

re: Tweet by Ben Simmons yesterday
Posted by BigRiver on 2/24/16 at 8:35 pm
Is he a heck of a shooter like Durant was(or even Westbrook)? Shooting the ball well with size can get it done in the NBA.Or have the overpowering size, game, and tough attitude like Shaq? .Yeah he's a Magic Johnson type but Magic had a rock offensive Center, and a team that had the best at every po...
