The Taylor play was huge, and the type of thing he keeps doing.

No it's not. I played in every playground from Port Jefferson to Jamaica. White boy was meant with derision.
2-3 of his assists were just swinging the ball to Dingle and Ledlum for jumpers ā something he barely ever does unless the opposition is in a zone.
He had two very nice passes to Soriano early. Heās going to make some playsā¦as much as he dominates the ball heās going to get assists and points. Thatās a given.
Iām obviously his biggest critic and what I canāt stand his how he negatively impacts his teammates.
How many times does he speed down the court and not give the ball up until he drives? Isnāt painfully obvious to everyone by now that we need to be getting Taylor, Alleyne, Soriano, and Ledlum touches every possession they are in the game?
Thereās a place for a kid like him who can get his shot off at will. But itās not the dribble-dominant, high volume shooting role weāve seen.
He has absolutely no conscience while Dingle is Jimmy Cricket.
My thoughts on the game.
Every game has to have a whipping boy. Today it was Jenkins and Brady.
Taylor seems to be the guy who guards the opponents scorer. He has an awkward shot and a not so good handle, but he plays VERY Hard.
The fact that WVA was tired is a fallacy. With all the fouls called everyone got plenty of rest.
Being in the bonus both halves, Pitino should have called off the full court pressā¦.but he never called me.

It was a comedic line from the movie "The Blind Side".
It was the context and stated in a defamatory way, not in a complimentary way aimed at a white schoolyard legend, as in "that deaf, dumb, blind kid, sure plays a mean pin ball".
You also questioned "if you have to play a white boy" which has historical truths of sports teams like the Celtics being very hesitant to field a team without white guys on the court, or NFL teams "having to play" white men at quarterback, or nba teams having unwritten rules of have at least one white player.
I'm overly sensitive, but in 2023 I don't even think about the color of our players, and certainly not in terms of how playing time is doled out.
I don't think you meant it that way, but it reads like that, at least to me. If you did mean it like that I can say that sort of explicit statement without basis has no place at St. Johns.
That's all and it's not a shot at you, just about the post, which as reads to me is indefensible.

The power dynamic does need shifting out there I 100% agree.
Daniss thinks heās the #1 option and heās simply not.
I wonder how much of that comes from being Pitinos guy at Ionaā¦ but I know Rick wants to win more than anything so he should see that daniss is better as a 3rd/4th option and make the proper adjustments.
I still think Daniss brings a little more to the table than youāre giving him credit. While I agree his usage needs to go down, think heās still an important piece

I like Daniss Jenkins. The kid has moxie. Our backcourt just had a mediocre game.
This would have been a 15 point win if not for that because WV stinks.
They were definitely local announcers, the way they talked of WVU you would think it was on local cable not ESPN!I donāt know who they were but they were WVU guys. They mentioned going to WVU practice ānext weekā. I assume they used local guys to cut costs. Who wouldnāt.
What you call moxie, I call a lack of awareness of his weaknesses and his role.
And anyone without one hand on the remote at all times would also think it wasnāt on ESPN
Sure, especially that Astaire white boy.
did they watch the same game we did? wv got lucky we didnt beat them by more to be honest. and the totals and numbers mean alot. so if you did all those positive things and still came out with a loss what does that tell you?Written by a member of the WVa cheer squad?

Did you really just parce through his 5 assists individually to determine a quality level and relative value of each assist? I've never seen that done ever and it might just represent a new low of some sort. I can hardly wait for your next post in which his 2 and 3 point field goals are somehow downgraded to a lesser point value based on using the backboard, proximity to the goal, not being a swish or some other arbitrary, spiteful nonsense you come up with.

He's a combo guard. That's his role. He's playing in a higher level in the Big East conference and until Dingle becomes a more liable option and Alleyne learns the system better, we need his moxie. Everyone else but Soriano is playing catch up right now.
