***DUKE VS CLEMSON OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[Jnood]

I use to twist my ankle A LOT. Sometimes you get lucky and they roll over pretty far, and it just scares you, more then it hurts. Hopefully, that's the case. He had a nice jumper. It needs to stay loose!

 

[dbav]

And Matt Jones just does so much for us. He will be missed dearly when he graduates.

 

[DukeCE2006]

Where is Giles?

 

[DukeCE2006]

There we go lol

 

[DukeSky85]

Defense has been great!

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Good Lord we take some stupid *** shots at times

 

[bluedevilfan42]

3's are our friend today.

 

[DukeSky85]

Matty Ice!!!

 

[pisgah101]

Starting to roll now

Starting to roll now

Yea! I was scared when Grayson went out. Glad he is ok!

 

[dbav]

I like to think they are our friends everyday, haha.

Also, Giles is a rebounding machine.

 

[dbav]

I like it when Tatum shoots FTs.

 

[dbav]

Gotta get the offense worming again. Tatum or Allen to the rim.

 

[dbav]

Great look by Amile.

 

[dukiejay]

Try and step on Clemson's throats here to end the half. How nice would an easy win be for once?

 

[Jnood]

Did that guy get mad at Grayson?

 

[Mpm277]

Jayson has been cleaning up the boards.

 

[pisgah101]

Overall good half. A little slow offensively but D was good and we played team ball

 

[Showenuff]

Damn I wanted Harry to slam that putback.

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Yuck! Glad to have a cushion but would like to see a few more easy baskets! Don't wanna be dependent on making 12-15 threes a game.

 

[TheDude1]

I know this is silly, but I wish they didn't have walking dead ads every damn break. Watching with my five year old boy, and there are a few images there that I don't want him seeing.

 

[gottagonow]

A very strange half for both teams, I am worried that we are forgetting about a game plan and just shooting 3's? Or is that our game plan?

 

[Showenuff]

Wow. How in Gods name did we lose to State this year?

 

[dukiejay]

Up 11 at half. I'll take it. The defense was pretty good and the intensity was a C+/B-. That's actually pretty good considering 36 hours ago we were playing UNC.

The only concern is that we became a little too three reliant, but we made them again.

 

[germantondevil]

Sluggish half seemed like our offense was GA chucking 3's. We need to see some movement on the offensive side of the ball. Play inside out or something

 

[Showenuff]

TheDude1 , commercials don't care about kids anymore, it's really quite sad.

 

[Jnood]

I wish Giles could get some post touches. See if we can get some confidence going.

Agree. Feels a little more like a Duke team during the stretches of good defense and rebounding.

 

[duhondukie]

Harry looks like a project at this point. He has zero explosion. I hope whomever takes him next year is patient

 

[dbav]

I may be different than most, but I don't mind us chucking up 3's if they are open looks. Few have been contested. We recruit shooters so that they can shoot when open. If they were constantly heaving up contested 3's, then I would have a problem.

If we can get reliable interior scoring, great, but in the meantime, let the shooters shoot when open.

 

[germantondevil]

It has to be hard to play at a high level after Thur game but they need to dig deep here. Clemson isn't going to keep missing these shots

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

I don't mind the threes, but I prefer the ball to go thru the post on occasion. That said nobody in the post is doing a very good job of getting position and showing today.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

I'd like to be up 20, but I'm pretty satisfied so far. It wasn't long ago that if we had only scored 29 points at half we'd be down 11 instead of up by 11.

OFC

 

[GAAP_rivals]

at Virginia on Tuesday

Might want to recheck the schedule.

 

[germantondevil]

That's our Amile!!!!

 

[Dad2ze]

My son met Matt outside the stadium at a concert in Raleigh. They sat beside each other and said that he is really down to earth. Love that guy

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Dammit put their asses away

 

[dbav]

The Sportcenter commercials actually make me want to watch it less.

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

And I will repeat what I said in another thread on here

We should have our asses kicked for losing to the one man team known as NC State

 

[Jnood]

I actually feel like Giles biggest road block is mental.
