Jerome Dyson to the NBA

[boba]

It's weird how you think your opinions are facts.

I am tempted to write an ode to the programmer that coded the ignore function. Not only does it allow me to avoid the blithering idiot that is Frank Ivy, but it also blocks out said blithering when others reply to or quote it. All I see it blanks and replies from those willing to interact with this mentally incompetent Dunning Kruger case study.
I must admit I admire you people. You remind me of those who work in nursing homes. People who are willing to clean the patients to whom they have no personal attachment. You change his soiled Depends undergarment in an effort to help him maintain some sibilance of dignity, and his response is to fling that excrement across the room. It's hopeless, the future will not bring understanding nor sanity; the end result will always be fecal matter splattered about the room. And yet you willingly take on the Sisyphean task that is educating Frank Ivy. God speed, fair warriors, god speed.

I learned one truism from this thread that we should all agree on - boba needs to post more. A lot more.

We didn't miss a beat after Jerome went down. In fact, we were better.

How can you even argue that?

Also, Dyson only averaged 2 turnovers a game in 09. AJ averaged more turnovers than him.

I think you're letting the second half of Dyson's 2010 season cloud your judgement. I think everyone here can agree didn't play well in the back half of 2010. But that doesn't mean the rest of his career was like that.

How many regular season games have we played in our history that were better or more satisfying than punking a 1 seed on the road the way we did Louisville? Take home wins out of the equation (everybody plays their A game at home once in a while with the crowd behind them). What have you got? Michigan State (#2 at the time) and Kentucky in Maui last year would be up there, even if the MSU win didn't hold up as the season went on. Arizona in overtime in 2002 for drama and statement effect (also Emeka and Ben's coming out party). There's Stanford in 1999 without Rip, or at St. John's in 1999 with Rip. Maybe at Virginia in 1993 for sheer dominance. I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple, but it's a short list.

That Louisville game was two games before Dyson got hurt - the Georgetown loss was a distant memory and we were clearly a team clicking on all cylinders.

I wonder if other forums are like this. Like if in three years on the Cuse boards there will be a thread about Scoop Jardine finally getting a shot at the NBA and some person comes in and just has nothing but negative things to say about and no good wishes for that player.

20+ minutes of PT today off the bench. And the Hornets won. Who knows, maybe he'll be the next Tebow.

A couple of points, 5 assists, and a +7 for the game.

Looks like we got us an English major here boys.
Are they allowing Internet posting now for Gap employees?

Last post for me on the Dyson thread, so you all can continue the nut hugging and end the syphillisian task of educating me to the level of the English major -
you left out 1 of 5 from the field, 0 of 1 from 3, and 1 of 3 from the free throw line. Not THAT'S the Dyson we know and love!

 

[Gurleyman]

It isn't nut hugging to actually root for our players to succeed. What you're doing, I don't know what the right verb would be. ging? I thought Marcus Williams was a complete turd, but still hoped he would do ok at the next level.

Dyson's game and personality/makeup are meant to be a complimentary player (a darn good one) but not a team's best player or a leader. He was at his best in '08-09 when he could be an important contributing piece to a FF team but he was still our 4th best/most important player.

That's part of why '09-10 was such a mess IMO. Now you have entire defenses with a primary focus of stopping Dyson and clogging the lane. Life is a lot harder (ask Lamb) when you have the target on your back. He didn't have that to worry about his first three years in Storrs but he did his fourth. He didn't know how to handle it and quite frankly wasn't a good enough player to be an efficient scorer facing that type of heat from opposing defenses. That being said, not many players are.

It's pretty amazing the hate by a few (really dumb) fans of a kid who played as hard as anyone. The dude came back in a game where he lost teeth. I guarantee the critics would be taking a few days off work if that happened. Dyson wasn't a perfect player, but he would have had a much better senior year if the team had at least one more perimeter shooting option.
