Boogie (Days And) Nights

Silly Donovan said:
Boogie guarantees nothing. We have heard the same argument before when other players have been brought in. Many forget, it’s all about team chemistry and all too often as good as a player is, that does not guarantee team chemistry. The way the team is situated now is about as good as it gets. Ever hear the statement too many cooks spoil the broth?

Also, there’s more than pure talent that determines a team’s advancement in the Big Dance and it’s not just about the players. A lot will depend on game preparation for a particular team, not just having offensive weapons but defensive strategies as well that will change if necessary. To hear posters make absurd statements that one player will bring a championship is sillier then my name.

As someone mentioned above Duke not only had more talent than most other teams but a generational player in Flagg and they didn’t win.

Ooof. Are you and Rocket related? For heaven’s sake, when has anyone claimed Fland guarantees a title?

I do guarantee that if you reread earlier posts, it will make that abundantly clear.

Leave my son out of this ! 😉

Weren't you the Nostradamus who said "Fland guarantees SJU is placed squarely as one of the top 2-3 teams favored to win it all."

Mamma Mia......you have them in the CHAMPIONSHIP game! If I were superstitious instead of stupendous, I would think you are giving us the MAL'OCCHIO!🤘

Objection, relevance.

Not one person — reasonable or otherwise — thinks any combination of players guarantees anything. Why even bring it up then?

The better team doesn’t always win a seven-game series let alone a one-
game elimination tournament.

All you can do is assemble the best roster on paper and hope for good luck and chemistry.

Complaining about adding Boogie would be like an irritated Logen asking “who is going to clean all those damn rooms” after winning a mansion in a raffle.

Name one poster here who said Boogie will guarantee us a national championship. I'll wait.

First of all show me where I even said National Championship? I’ll wait as well, My Duke reference was relative to their talent level. I said advancing in the tournament. You should re read a post before you decide to challenge it.

But since you asked, LJSA stated it as did SJU Willrock etc. . And while you technically just said “our chances will increase” you implied it. 😎👍

You just agreed with Silly and contradicted my paesan Kranmars list of "guarantees":

"Fland guarantees to elevate this team’s already impressive roster’s talent, to a level we have never seen or even dreamed of as fans.

Fland guarantees SJU is placed squarely as one of the top 2-3 teams favored to win it all.

Fland guarantees SJU will be a very hot entertainment destination next season and bring in a lot of publicity and money to the University.

Those are pretty worthwhile guarantees."

Let's stop beating Paultzman's dead horse and agree to disagree 😉

Guess you need to re read my post, I didn’t say a National Title, I said advance in the tournament. My Duke reference was relative to their talent.p

I think you need to re read posts, LJSA stated it as did SJU will rock etc.

I think Boogie makes us national champs. There's no way staff doesn't try.

Whether Boogie holds us in the same low regard as he did a year ago is another story. But there's absolutely no way we don't try. Don't think there's any way Jackson

"I THINK Boogie makes us national champs" is a guarantee?

There is something I also think: Deep down, you don't want Boogie because it will be nearly impossible for you to complain.

You stated the following, and I quote: “To hear posters make absurd statements that one player will bring a championship is sillier than my name.”

Not one poster here has ever said Boogie gets us a national championship. All anyone has ever said is he helps put us over the top and makes us a preseason favorite to potentially cut down the nets. Saying “our chances increase” is not the same as guaranteeing it. Your posts recently have been more absurd than usual, maybe take a day off.

I guess I’m reading different posts then you but what LJSA stared and SJU will rock has said clearly implies that but we all know what your post is all about and unfortunately has nothing to do with the topic.

What I can say is that I am more then satisfied with the talent brought in to date as I’m sure coach Pitino is as well.

I capitalized, bolded, and underlined the word "think" to show you that claiming I made a guarantee is total horseshit. I'm not sure what more I can do.
 
I look at it like this Pitino and Staff did an amazing job building next years team I am already over the top excited about this squad as is. Boogie would just be the cherry on top if it happens of course would be amazing if not we are still gonna be a top 5 team it’s a win win situation.

What does having them as one of the two or three top teams favored to win it all have to do with anything. I could argue that they are ranked #3 at this moment. That automatically makes them one of the top three favorites.

Same thing. There are zero guarantees Fland even gets them in the tournament if you want to play that game. What if he gets hurt.

I guarantee this hamster on the wheel discussion is going nowhere.
 
I want him to come back to college so we can get more of this! Love it! Either way, the kid is going to land on his feet in the NBA or back in college making big $$$. Kudos to another NY kid who hopefully makes it big.
