Official game day thread- Duke vs George Mason

B
Mac, I agree the offense needs to be better. Specifically the ball movement and playing from inside out as you noted. I also read where you mentioned Flagg picking up his 4th foul in Louisville and then suddenly the ball moved better. I agree the ball needs to not stick in Flagg’s hands and hopefully Scheyer begins to emphasize the important of moving the ball around and having the bigs looking to score.

I remain optimistic because I believe Duke is ranked Top 12 in both offensive and defensive efficiency on KenPom.

As the saying goes, “Defense wins Championships”, if Duke’s offense is not showing any improvements from here to February then I will start to be worried.

I like this season’s Blue Devils a lot. They will continue to grow together and improve. Looking forward to seeing what they look like when they play against Illinois in late February and onward.

I like your optimism bullcity. I was very positive right before we played Kentucky, and went against my rule on waiting until December to make a claim about how good I think we will be. Our offense just doesn't look as smooth as some of the good teams. I know we aren't shooting the 3 ball well, but our numbers aren't much different from there than UConn's.

I think Jon has to alter his offensive approach. We hardly use the low post game, our ball movement is sometimes weak, which makes us look very predictable on that side of the court.

Maybe in hindsight we could have used a speedy backup pg instead of a Gillis but hindsight is 50/50.

Agreed. However if we do come up short this year, it's not because of the roster or offseason. The roster or transfer portal cannot be an excuse this season. We are loaded, just have to get the job done, we don't have any glaring holes like years before.

Last year our glaring hole was a big-man, we never got one in the portal for whatever reason. Fast forward to the Elite 8 and DJ Burns obliterates us because of no true elite 5-man.

I recently finished Tulsa King and it was really good. Currently watching Sopranos for the first time (I know I'm late) and it's incredible.

Some of my all time favorites...
Eastbound & Down, Vice Principals, Dexter, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Stranger Things, We Own This City, White Lotus.
The Wire is the greatest show ever IMO.

Man of Steel was ok. Too much CGI. I havent heard of those shows but I like McBride. I like the early 2000s Spider Mans and the Dark knight movies.

To be clear, I mean the four-hour cut of Justice League on Max. Not that piece of shit that came out in theaters. And Christopher Reeve is my favorite Superman. I just really loved Cavill, too. I want him to be the next Bond. The new Christopher Reeve documentary is excellent, but have tissues readily available.

McBride is such a talented dude. I love the first two Spider-Man films and Nolan's trilogy, but I'm a fan of a ton of comic book films. Sin City and V for Vendetta are two of my favorites. It would be too many to list if I start listing them all, haha

You have a warped view on so many things. So you are saying that the folks who don't want the government, who is responsible for billions if not trillions of dollars in waste to be in charge of healthcare, are part of a death cult for that? We're a part of a death cult because we can see that even with the flaws in capitalism, it is far more fair than socialism, especially when it comes to decisions about our own health. Do you think that the people on the right celebrate when someone goes through severe financial hardships due to their medical bills? Do you think we celebrate it when someone dies due to improper medical attention because of insurance companies refusing care? There's a big difference between collateral damage that is caused by flaws in a system and deliberate and celebrated murder. You probably think there would be less collateral damage if the government were in charge of healthcare. I believe it would be worse and there is not a bit of evidence to suggest otherwise. Can there be, should there be, reform in healthcare? Yes. Should insurance companies be held accountable for playing with lives for financial gains? Yes. Should politicians who take kickbacks from insurance companies be ousted? Yes. Should we murder fathers for being in the occupation that they are in, even if they are taking advantage of a system. No.
