***DUKE VS NC STATE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[SoCal_Dukie3]

Somebody mentioned it already, but how does Alex have an insanely tight leash yet Trent can screw up over, and over, and over again? Same (somewhat) with Javin and Vrank?

 

[gottagonow]

Did you say Luke Maye was a good looking dude? He looks like he should be chasing scantily dressed teens with a chainsaw.

Big Bird Maye looks like he used the chainsaw on himself!

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

Man, I wish I could find a group of women that would lay down as fast as half the posters on this board. Pull for your team, don't give up!

You obviously missed what I'm doing.

 

[DukeCorey21]

Is there something wrong with him then?? Is was playing so well at the beginning of the year.

 

[hallside]

Only thing to say right now is...... Play better...

 

[TWARedRaider01]

that might have done it

 

[Jnood]

Missed a bunny, then a midget hits a 3.

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

Trent is officially my least fav Duke player. If he leaves for the NBA, I'll be blown away.

 

[Mpm277]

Get the ball to Bagley. God.

 

[K-oach Q]

I mean he’s just insanely wide open...

 

[Jnood]

Grayson totally lost his guy. No clue.

 

[TWARedRaider01]

lol at everyoine saying this would be a 20 point win, this team isnt beating any acc team by 20 on the road

 

[Mpm277]

So happy how Bags has improved his ft shooting.

 

[tclark6]

AOC is active on defense... would love to see him get more minutes.

 

[crazyduke3]

This team, wow...

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

I'm embarrassed by the defensive effort of this team. Yes, it's easy to say things in frustration, but this is absolutely pathetic defense, and very questionable coaching.

At least Bagley is a bad ***.

 

[Lavar5150]

Bagley is only one who plays hard all game every game

 

[K-oach Q]

K has a lot of work to do....this team hasn’t improved at all since November....and practice isn’t an excuse anymore....

 

[gottagonow]

Sometimes Grayson just plays poorly instead of being our senior leader. Bagley is the only player we have who always plays great. He never disappoints.

 

[BlueDevils725]

We are not good. NC state is a HORRENDOUS loss.

 

[tclark6]

This loss will be embarrassing as hell... I'll take the loss at BC but this, really...

 

[sheyduke]

Why does this team practice? It’s still the same motive. Outscore the other team and hope they don’t play defense against you.

No one is giving up on this team just trying to figure out where the practice is helping. It’s the same five, same non communication on defense.

 

[Lavar5150]

This team is unwatchable on d but the coaches are not holding anyone accountable except for the bench guys who are the scapegoats

 

[LH24ND]

Obviously this team has problems. Three games and total struggles. How disappointing.

 

[DukeDenver]

Looked like boys out there. Grayson too. 1-2 in the ACC. Time for adjustments.

 

[K-oach Q]

We where very fortunate to overcome a lot of our poor performances with our talent alone...this team is worse than it’s record....their record is a complete illusion...

 

[TWARedRaider01]

This team is what they are going to be all year, stop with talking about some magical practice we might have to fix everything

 

[germantondevil]

Can’t play from behind every game and keep winning. Today’s team sucks ***

 

[K-oach Q]

90pts and counting every game is unacceptable

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Of course that would happen! It’s Duke so it has to

 

[DukeCorey21]

Yep, just can’t figure this team out. I will keep watching and hoping they figure it out. They have a long way to go. Just not a top 5 team right now and they have a lot of work a head of them. ACC regular season isn’t looking to great, UVA got a two game lead after three games.

 

[Showenuff]

I wonder what got into Grayson's head tonight? He was 100% invisible.

 

[LONMUNU]

2 seconds and we give a three and one. I don’t doubt this team is unbelievably talented but we can’t play d and we can’t play with 5 guys the rest of the season.

 

[DukeDenver]

Javin, buddy, let’s talk.

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

Well guys, have a good rest of the weekend. Careful with what you say because you'll soon be called out for "being too negative" and "only vocal when they lose".

 

[Dahntay#1]

Sometimes Grayson just plays poorly instead of being our senior leader. Bagley is the only player we have who always plays great. He never disappoints.

With a young team on the road, 5 points is unacceptable. You won't find a bigger Grayson fan than me but he has to be better. This has to be his team.

 

[dukesince91]

I would play Javin and Alex a helluva lot more. At least Javin plays with some passion.

Players don’t have to earn it at duke anymore. The fans who have been here the longest won’t admit it but it’s true. They’ll blame it on the players but dukes short comings have been all about the coaching staff. This may be just one loss but the writing is on the wall. This team has a VERY high chance of being another duke team that gets sent home early. I feel bad for bagley. Dudes super human and deserves so much more.

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

Duke by 10-12 . Bagley is gonna be crushing.

I wish I had the same blue-tinted optimism of some!!

 

[BluePhil]

Playing with basically 5 guys is piss poor coaching.
