LAVIN ON WFAN

Coming on with Mike after the 3pm break

Blamed Jordan for early season struggles. 

Told Mike they go 10 deep. I hope he doesn't start that nonsense again

The pope " this is the best St john's team I've seen in years".....i guess he missed the hardy , brownlee year.

So I guess he has rum in that Diet Coke bottle.
Is he drunk today?

Glad we have posters listening in to rip apart everything he says.

In fairness that has been years

Jordan comment was stupid!

Well he hasn't given a rats ass about the program for years.  He watches 1 game and was gushing like the most optimistic fan we have.  Little odd to me.

And like someone said he kept saying YEARS and LONG TIME.  This team is not better than Lavin's 1st year team. 

*Oh wait maybe you meant Lavin here.  I'm ripping Mike myself

  I didn't hear it yet, but I will..  What did he say exactly? 

Lavin is on ESPN radio  (national, not NY)  with Scott Van Pelt now...

Said they struggled early becuase they had a frosh point guard that was struggling. Then mentioned he was struggling becuas of his mother and his grandfather's I think he said?

  What is stupid about that?  Jordan's early struggles, on the court and off, played a major role in why team got off to bad start. No coincidence the team and Jordan started playing their best hoop at the exact same moment..

 

oh...

Boo, we seldom agree and yet both of us were saying Jordan should have been given the ball early and let him go. I really don't think he struggled as much as he wasn't given the opportunity.

  Mike or Lavin?  Tough to tell with you....  Kick any puppies on the way to work today by chance?   

oh...

Not stupid but we didn't have to totally rely on a fr pt g. Had Branch as an alternative and last 2 yrs back court of Dlo and Phil who Lavin still likes to pay so therefore it comes off as an excuse.

 I don't know.  I listened to the interview and it didn't seem like there were any excuses or "blame" assigned to anyone.. Seemed a fair assessment of what took place.

We certainly did not rely on Jordan in the beginning.  He did use the other options, Greene etc... and the results were lousy.  Once Jordan got comfortable and acclimated, the team took off.

Seems simple and straight forward to me.   Just goes to show,  whatever your preconceived notions are, you can end up hearing what you want to hear, regardless of actual content.
