How many NBA players are from Miami at present time

Not many at all but this could also fall u see them wanting to create their own path .

Dude. Neither one of us said one single thing that could somehow be read to mean that we did not have sympathy for what was going on in NC. I have a number of friends there and I still have not heard from a couple. We were just calling out Trump’s b**sh**, eaten hook line and sinker by the conservative mouth breathers here, that FEMA was not doing anything and that Biden and Harris did not care.

No one said that FEMA wasn't doing anything. What we said was that this administration's response has been abysmal. They waited 6 days to take serious actions. They pretty much acted like money was going to fix the problems, bragging about how much money they had allocated. Until the 4th day there were less than 1,000 guardsmen in NC, and there currently is still a need for a lot more than the 5,000 or so in NC. Yes, idiot, the president does deploy guardsmen. The democrats are in damage control mode for a reason.

As far as Kamala and Biden not caring. Actions speak louder than words. It was clear by Friday that this was going to be a once in a generation catastrophe for thousands of people. Biden went to his beach house and Kamala went to live it up in California for the weekend while Americans were drowning. So by their actions, I'd say they weren't too bothered by it.

Do they see a lot in Murphy in practice than we see in games? Do they feel he has such arm talent that it will eventually pay dividends? I can't believe they "promised" him that he would start and they are stuck with that promise,

Lift this is what scares me. In the age of NIL, coaches become like contract negotiators too. All I know is Maalik commented after signing with Duke "I wanted to go somewhere I would play," and that's certainly been the case.Was the Murphy-Loftis preseason qb duel merely a charade? Did staff know all along Maalik would be the starter?

Whatever, we are 5-1 and I am thrilled with the record. Manny and Co need to get to work, as offense needs serious tinkering.

Time to move on from Murphy. He cannot run and avoid the rush. He throws the ball too hard. He does not, or cannot, read the defenses he faces. Throws to closely covered receivers. And he makes Duke way too easy to defend against. I have to admit that Hart was absolutely correct months ago when he stated that we whould be relying upon Loftis and/or Belin.

I have always liked Belin over Loftis but I have been disappointed we have not let one play. I am really struggling with 2 of the coaches. The OC is very meh and the special teams coach has shown he had no experience. We need a spark on the offense. Murphy is just to rigid in the pocket but on another board one of the regular commentators was saying that he sat next to Belins parents at a recent game and they said he is still recovering from his injury from last year. I don't know for sure but man a QB with mobility would be a nice change right now.

DI I appreciate the mention my friend. Actually I hate to be correct, but last nite was a definitive statement we need a dual threat qb.

I included surf's comments as well per Belin's injury status. I thought Henry was healed. That's a bummer when added to fact Loftis is being redshirted. How about at least giving Jordan Moore some Wildcat reps!!!??

Nonetheless if you'd told me we would be 5-1 (with the Bell back where it belongs), I would have signed off on it immediately!! Get back in the lab Manny. Tinker with this offense.14 points isn't going to cut it in ACC play!!

OFC

I really like Diaz and he's a smart guy whereas we are only fans, even Surf who clearly knows more than I do. But I have trouble figuring out why Manny won't give Belin or if he is hurt, Loftis more of a chance. Do they see a lot in Murphy in practice than we see in games? Do they feel he has such arm talent that it will eventually pay dividends? I can't believe they "promised" him that he would start and they are stuck with that promise, that makes no sense and will tear the team apart. They must see something we have only seen in glimpses so far.

I agree that I can't think of one successful college QB in the past 10 years who couldn't run a little. The guy Beck on Ga. is not fast but he'll move around a little and he of course has a much better offensive line in front of him.

Think it went about almost what we thought for each player from an individual perspective. Kon/Harris shooting, Mal rim protecting, Coop do-everything, etc.

Really interested to see how we do tempo-wise and how Kon does on switches. Off the top, seemed like every scrimmage/practice video I saw CFOS driving on him every time. Understandable but that seems to be the easy scout on us if we plan to do a lot of switching. Mal will probably be critical for that reason.

Also, really interested to see how we go tempo-wise. If I remember right, Jon’s adj tempo these past two seasons were on the slower side. ASU game may give us some better insight.

These people would sacrifice their first born for their political party. I have no doubt.

I think there really trying to redshirt loftis so I don’t think he’ll be an option but belin ABSOLUTELY deserves a shot. As for brewer his offense has no flow or tempo. Its like watching an 6 year old play madden

I didn’t watch it, and never do. I don’t think there’s anything that can be an indicator on any of the guys.
We need real games, and imo, about 3-4 to get any decent idea.

Yep, and that's all way the way it is.

I din’t care what it was for. Bottom line Trump did precisely what he is purposely incorrectly lying that Biden did.

You’re right about one thing. You don’t care. Just so as long as “your party” is in power.
You’ve allowed the powers to be to shape your mind and turn you into a hateful person.

At this point in the game, one is either an American or a Democrat.

Ridiculously devoid of context. The money you spent yesterday was not “taken” from something you need it for today. You’re also blurring the lines between refugees and undocumented immigrants — have been all week. This is how to foment hate crimes: lie — as in, you lie by repeating your conservative puppet masters’ lies from Twitter — and make desperate people angry. Like, do you vet anything you read? Ever?

I agree that Cooper is probably an NBA 3 but I think team make up, and Kon being better than expected will have Cooper playing the 4. As Tim said, if we start Mal and Brown that leaves us with no back up big man. Pat's lingering injuries suggest he will not contribute much this year. Cooper will be a top 5 pick regardless. He also may play the 3 at times, but on this squad he is mostly a 4. Cooper could be the 3 if we went with Gillis at the 4 and Brown or Mal at the 5, but that doesn't seem like our best line up to me.

Then it will be a waisted year at Duke . Flag is a strong sf . Why go after Mal or Brown if you already had Flag to play the four ? Mal is still learning and Brown is a strong pf since playing at the five at Syracuse . I just don’t see how Scheyer sold brown coming off the bench when he would have started at Syracuse and I don’t see how you got Mal to come to Duke to come off the bench when he had blue blood offers even if dang was in his ear and Zion is who he followed .
Kon was getting blew by at CTC so what sf is he guarding ? Especially one with college experience? We will see how they play against ASU but I do not see Flag logging alot a minutes at pf and I really don’t see you getting an all ACC defender to come to Duke telling him he’s coming off the bench and Man Man had two other good front court players to come off the bench for at Kansas and UCLA if that was his plan to come off the bench .

You've made that comment about a wasted year if Cooper plays the 4 over and over this offseason. Was it a waste to play these guys at the 4 at Duke - Battier, Tatum, Winslow, Singler, etc? All went on to play sf in the NBA. "Why go after Mal or Brown if you already had Flag to play the four ?" Because you need someone to play the 5, right? I'm sure they knew Pat wouldn't be playing many minutes this year even if he was totally healthy. He was going to need a development year after missing most of his senior season.

So why do you think Cooper shouldn't play the 4? He's too small? I think he can handle a Cade Tyson. Sure, there may be a few teams that play big, and in those games I'd be totally fine with Brown playing the 4. We just don't have any big guys behind Mal and Brown at all, so you better not have foul trouble or ever get tired.

"Kon was getting blew by at CTC so what sf is he guarding ?" What position do you think Kon should guard? I suggested he could potentially guard a 4 at times and you responded by saying he was getting blown by at ctc. So, would he be better at guarding at 2? I'm confused by that comment.

It hasn’t been about right or left for a long time, liberals just refuse to see the obvious. Because if they did, they’d have to admit they’re wrong, and that they’ve also been lied to.

And by the two retarded hacks in this thread, we know that will never happen.
