Are you cool with how healthcare insurance works in this country? Because it’s capitalist. Do you like it as is?
What does that have to do with what I said? The claim (not mine) is that 41% of the youth voters are okay with the CEO being murdered. Or something to that effect. My claim is that the left is a death cult. You respond to that by saying that we were bragging about how many youth voters the orange man got and now we were ready to deport them back to the left. I gave you a pretty solid example of why it would be easy to assume that of the 41% of the alleged youth voters who were okay with murder, were on the left and not part of the ones who voted for literal Hitler. Now, I am sure a small percentage of that 41% may have. And if so, then yes. I would like to see them deported to the left.

I am not happy with how insurance companies take advantage of suffering people, no. But I don't believe in answering evil with evil. I don't support murder. It would be a pretty terrible place if we just let random people decide who gets to live and who deserves to die. We all have our opinions on that, but we don't have a right to act on them. I don't think rapists and child abusers should be allowed to live. But I can't go executing them.

Official game day thread- Duke vs George Mason

I guess I’m with everyone else on Evans, he needs at least 15 mpg.

But, I do wonder what he can do besides jack up 3s?

We’ve not seen him drive the ball and he’s taken 44 shots, 40 of them 3s.

Can he finish at the rim? Can he make 15 footers?

Who knows…
He is shooting 50% from three, and some of those have been really difficult attempts so that's super impressive. His scouting profile labels him as a "3 dimension scorer" so we will see, I do think his slender frame makes it hard for him to finish through contact. He's also labeled as a "disruptive defender due to his length" but he often looks out of position on defense.

I think him and Kon should be getting around a 20 minute each split (a few minutes more depending on who has the hot hand.) Kon definitely understands defense better and is rarely caught out of position, but he lacks the length and athleticism of Evans. So I'd say RIGHT NOW Kon is a better defender but Evans has much more upside if he can just get the fundamentals down, being on the court will help this of course. The good teams we have played (mainly Auburn and Kansas) clearly had a game plan to constantly attack Kon, and it mostly worked.

Long story short, just having the threat of Evans on offense should open up lanes inside for our guards and wings which we desperately need. Teams are currently not respecting us from the outside.

When you claim something as stupid as I’m getting my butt kicked but I keep getting up, that’s really all the comeback I need. By definition, if you keep getting up, you’re clearly not beaten. Are you that guy who tries to call a TKO when his pick-up basketball team goes up 2-0? 😂

I was here the day after the election acknowledging that Trump won and that the Democratic Party really screwed the pooch on this. I’m also not a Democrat. Funny how you claim you’re soooo above party politics while parroting every GOP talking point out there, then keep trying to project the Democratic Party onto me.

You said here yourself what a capital S Savior Walmart has been for your hometown. Hey, good for your hometown; desperate economic times makes people grateful for the skimpiest of bones. That’s a reality I’ve never known. I was humbled and my eyes were opened when you shared that perspective. But you don’t then get to turn around and act like you’re Mr independent thinker, Mr above-it-all, Mr autonomous. You’re a sheep.

You’re a sheep, and you think losing an election means I have to accept you as a superior or something. This is why 4 years from now, 8 years from now, you’re still going to be an angry little man stomping around demanding people accept your authority and submit their beliefs to yours.
Wow. You feeling ok Datt? This post is a real doozy, even by the low bar you’ve set for yourself.

Is this something that actually happened? I don't remember doing that. Also, it would be the anti-capitalists, pro social healthcare people who would be okay with the CEO being murdered. So it's safe to assume that those would be leftist yutes.
Yes, it happened. I said “y’all” to indicate it wasn’t strictly, necessarily you individually. I don’t keep an Excel sheet on y’all like @hailtoyourvictor .

So this is your comeback? Your side had power for the last four years. It was awful. The media are licking their wounds, with many (Stephen A Smith may be loudest) admitting that democrats have lost their way.

WE HAVE BEEN SAYING THESE EXACT THINGS FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

Now go ahead and come back with some ridiculous remark, which will only show your delusion, or your good attempts at trolling. But the thing to do would be to follow the lead of Stephen A Smith, and eat your crow like a big boy.

A month ago y’all were bragging about pulling a higher percentage of the youth than you had in decades. Now you’re deporting them back to the left, huh? 😂

Official game day thread- Duke vs George Mason

Our offense is just painful to watch. Someone said it earlier, but we really lack a quick guard who can get into the lane and put pressure on the defense. Right now, Flagg is our only threat to drive the ball to the hoop. With that said, our defense is elite because we are huge everywhere since we don't have a little quick jitter-bug type guard. So it is what it is.

I watched closely when Maluach was in, and he doesn't even put his hands up when he's down in the post. Not sure if this is being coached or if he's just that unconfident in himself. This is part of the reason for our poor offense, along with missing wide open shots. And Foster, my god, he looked like he didn't even want to be there last night.

I'm not sure if Evans should start or not. But what I do know is our offense is really bad with our starting unit and he seems like instant offense. Jon played Kon 24 minutes last night and Evans 15. I think it should be more 20/20. The ACC is weak, and we need to be almost perfect, however I think Jon SHOULD experiment with Evans in the starting 5 during one of our easier home games (BC, VT, most of the ACC really). Lets give it a look at least.

Also, I love Maliq Brown.

Official game day thread- Duke vs George Mason

He’s borderline unplayable right now. I just don’t get why he gets more pt than evans and kon has such a long leash to throw bricks up the whole game. Evans deserves more time
Totally agree. Foster brings you nothing off the bench. At least Kon will get in there with his hustle and battle for rebounds. Think Jon said in the postgame conference that he's got the teams best assist to turnover ratio.

I'm ok with Kon starting and having Evans first off the bench for the firepower.
