***OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD- GTHC***

[christophero]

Is Bilas that insecure that he can never say anything good about Duke? Be professional dude. Please pull him from Duke games if he can't be impartial.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Bilas sucks. Bacot going to absolutely live at the line. Refs going to make sure Lively doesn't have a repeat performance

 

[denverexpat]

an ill advised drive thats blocked, no defense on Bacot and then a throw away turnover....Flips last 3 possessions....he needs to improve his Basketball iQ...the momentum switched thanks to those 3 consecutive plays....he's good but play within the team

 

[pisgah101]

I think flip needs a little tough love on the bench for a few minutes

 

[AlanInNJ]

Flip had to settle down. Defense looking very good. Keep fighting. Let’s get to halftime with a lead. Even if it’s 2 points. I like that Jon is getting starters some rest. We will wear them down.

 

[christophero]

I like Flip but I have never seen a guy have so many 4-12 type games. He is a good rebounder but has trouble scoring on good teams. He's had a nice year, but he can be very inefficient.

 

[pisgah101]

Whitehead needs to be as aggressive as mitchell

 

[pisgah101]

They got that Tar Heel whistle going now don’t they

 

[Ioliva]

Whitehead really screwed us up there. Carolina looks primed for a run

 

[pisgah101]

Sit flip! He’s not in the game right now

Then he makes that move lol

 

[christophero]

Turnovers are killing us. We'd be up 10 if not for that.

 

[Ioliva]

Sit flip! He’s not in the game right now

Then he makes that move lol

Hubert with the head scratcher putting young scrubs in. Take advantage let’s push the lead

 

[JimboSlice00]

We are playing well considering the environment. You cannot breath on Bacots ugly mug or you'll be called. It pisses me off so much

 

[christophero]

So far so good. But our turnovers are keeping them in it.

 

[Ioliva]

What a move from flip on bacot!!!

 

[denverexpat]

we are our own worst enemies at times...2 end of the shot clock 3's ....no pts....leading to 4-0 for them....need to be smarter

 

[Ioliva]

Two terrible shots from roach and proctor take away our momentum to push it to double digits

 

[christophero]

Okay Flip that's more like it.

 

[Alaskan_Assassin_21]

Saving Roach for 4th Quarter

 

[Alaskan_Assassin_21]

We are looking great

They aren't posting up or trying to get points in the paint.

 

[JimboSlice00]

No way that grandison should EVER have the ball in his hand to create offense.

 

[Ioliva]

Damn it flip wow what a moronic play. Absolutely stupid

 

[youngman42]

Seriously, Jay Bilas announces these games like he is doing color commentary for Carolina radio!!

What an A**-****

 

[sheyduke]

Need to cut back on silly turnovers and attack the basket more . Going to be a tight second half .

 

[christophero]

2 point lead. So far so good. Flip played better in the last few minutes, until that last play. . Roach 2 for 8. Need to be a little better junior captain. Young and Mitchell with some solid play. Proctor looked good. Comon let's finish this!

 

[kwyjibos13]

I don't have a problem, actually like the idea of that being an offensive foul call, that was called on Roach. But that is never called right so horrible call...

 

[christophero]

Lively with 0 points and 2 rebounds. We need more to come out with a W. Whitehead and Grandison too.

 

[The Only Blue]

Played well until the last 30 seconds or so.

 

[AlanInNJ]

A lead at halftime. I’ll take it. We played just okay. I think Roach is going to come out strong and lead us to a win. Flip just needs to play within himself.

Our defense has been very good.

I would love to see us attack the rim on every possession.

 

[christophero]

Lively and Whitehead one basket between them. These two could be the difference in the second half. They need to step up.
3 fouls on Lively. Damn.

 

[pisgah101]

Refs not going to let lively make a difference tonight

 

[youngman42]

For the LIFE of me, I do not understand why Duke coaches do not strongly impress upon the players that dribble and shoot 3s are a bad percentage shot. Yet we continually do that. Game after game, year after year.

Catch and shoot 3s are statistically a far higher percentage shot.

It's one thing if the opponent has played great D and you have to get a shot off before you get a shot clock violation.

I just don't get it. Pass the ball.

 

[Ioliva]

Man that flip kid sucks. Should’ve been an and one but what can you do?

 

[youngman42]

Officiating here sucks. Several bad calls. IT's almost as if Duke is punished for having a rookie coach.

 

[JimboSlice00]

We won't have any bigs left to play here soon. Is Lee Cassell a ref today?

 

[IFaZe]

Chicken **** bail out calls pouring in!

 

[christophero]

Proctor came to play. Which is good because Roach is 3-11.

 

[IFaZe]

All while bacot can lower his shoulder and move defenders lmao

 

[AlanInNJ]

We’ve maintained a lead since midway thru the first half. Push push push. Let’s go Duke!!

 

[christophero]

Reeves better start stretching. He might be able to help if he had played since Countdown to Craziness.
