Official game day thread- Duke vs George Mason

I’ll say it again, I like Cooper. The kid plays hard. I just think we rely too much on him on offense. Kon has to shoot better, but he doesn’t need to be benched as a starter. He does so many things well. On Evans? He’s a great weapon off the bench.

We need better out of our guards too. There’s no reason Maluach can’t get a few easy dunks.

Only thing I can say at the moment is your not doom and gloom. This Duke team’s offense ain’t even hanging an ACC banner .
Disagree.. the ACC is bad real bad outside of us and Clemson as bull city say if we don’t win both regular season and tourney this year is a big failure

No Coor's (it's a work night) no hot dogs. I just haven't gotten worked up for Duke games this year. I will try to make this entertaining.
1. Another slow start. Do this in the tournament against a good team and it's Cooper's last game.
2. I'm going to think of Kon as a 2-3 year guy. He's good, but not that good (yet). I have a feeling he's gone anyway so I hope our memory of him is not summer scrimmages and the ASU game.
3. I wish we could play a game without taking any 3's. Even if we lost. For the love of God chucking 3's is not an offense.
4. Evans is one of our few players who plays with passion. We need more of that.
5. Mal came back to earth a bit. He's so big that it may take him more time to come around.
6. Nice to see Brown back. As great as his D is, not much of an offensive threat.
7. It's a little shocking how Foster is playing. Maybe he is more injured than we thought.
8. We had one guy in double figures. One. Our D is good, but this ****show is not hanging a banner.
9. I feel like we need a wakeup call. GT beating us would not be the worst thing. Feasting on a weak ACC will not correct our weaknesses.
10. The sky is not falling. We are a good team who will be a decent seed. But the season is nearly 1/3 over. I do not see improvement. Any day now. I feel like our coaches are a little too player friendly; it probably helps with recruiting but sometimes they need a kick in the Kiester.
Sorry this was not funnier. I was preparing either a Sam Kinnison rant or some riffs on George Mason's name (Washington, Jefferson, Jetson, Clooney etc. I'll save some funny stuff for GT. A win is a win. We are healthy, and how long will that last? Sorry; it's Tuesday, I'll do away with the Charlie Brown gloom and doom. Weekend is coming. Night all.
Good stuff all the way around

Movies, TV shows you are watching.

Seems like an interesting topic that other boards have. What are you currently watching? Recommendations? Recently I saw Wicked and really enjoyed it. I am also binging American Horror Story and am on season 5; Hotel. I also like British cop shows like Prime Suspect, Cracker, and the Level. Also Inspector Lewis is a good British cop show. Inspector Morse is the original. I liked Yellowstone and 1923 as well.

Official game day thread- Duke vs George Mason

Just not sure two games in a row with Dukes lowest scoring half’s is the thing to make any fan get out and shout . Especially against Word and George Mason. ( 28 and 25). Think it’s time to play some sort of offense .
Kon is in a shooting slump and is Dukes rotation locked up now ? No Harris yet Flag played most the game against George Mason .
Harris ain’t playing

I think we can win the ACC, but it is a bad conference.
I can’t say I think we do . I think teams come gunning for Duke in conference play . It’s the only chance they have to bolster their record.

Maybe this is all a ploy by Jon before he unleashes his offense . Doubt it though.

Uh Oh in UNC land

Love when the holes look bad. Their cheating is finally catching up to them!!
Duke isn’t looking all that hot right now . There might be literally no team in the ACC that helps bolster our record and our offense isn’t anything to be scared of . Yes we have the top ranked defense but incarnated word kept us to 28 and George Mason kept us to 25 in the first half both lowest scoring half’s . The offense needs to pick up .
