Enjoyed that Syracuse game last night....but man, that's the risk with that zone, you can get destroyed by the 3 - I still remember the sweet 16 game my senior year at Syracuse against Michigan St - Syracuse had a big lead at halftime, I was all excited, and Boeheim told the courtside interviewer, (paraphrasing here), "settle down, MSU is going to come back and make a shitload of threes at some point and we'll have to withstand it". Same deal last night, except they did manage to withstand it. They had to dominate inside the 3-point line to pull that off and did.
I think this team is a lot better offensively without 'Melo, the guy disrupts on defense but he has cinder blocks for hands, the other options are much more reliable on that end of the court.
