Total complete effing joke. The Duke hatred is real. Hope this adds more fuel to the fire for us this week.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Haha, I think we posted a thread at almost the same time.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Yup looks like it. @pisgah101 can you merge it please?

 

[dukecorey]

How they figure out the All Defensive team, just horrible.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Right? A bit of a joke.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

The fact that Hildreth even got a single vote for defensive player of the year is a joke and all you need to know. Also Coop not getting all the votes for rookie of the year is as Stephen A Smith would say... Blasphemous

Yes

I’m guessing Brown missed too many games to be in consideration for the All ACC Defensive Team. Everyone knows he is one of the best defenders in the country if not the best.

He got 3 votes, Mal 2 and Sion 1

ACC media sucks

Hope this fuels us for a deep April run. I know Cooper would rather have a Natty than some dumb ACC award voted on mainly by UNC alumni.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

I know most don't like Corey Alexander's broadcasting but he just gave good reasons why he believed Coop and Jon should've been dpoty and coty.

His contributions aren’t as measurable. He’s not impressive in steals or blocks numbers. It’s kinda like how Battier was in the NBA: major impact, tons of respect from people who watch closely, but short on accolades.

Nah, I hope they don’t care about any of it. I hope all they care about is going 19-1 in the reg season and being 0-0 from here on out.

It’ll certainly fuel me, though.

Poor Cooper he only won ACC player of the year. Getting up on the dark to go to my job this morning I felt very sorry for him. Some guys just can't catch a break.

Why are you so disrespectful?!?!?!






(He was RotY, too.)

I'm just being silly.

I would rank Cooper as our best OAD. Ahead of Zion.
1. Cooper
2. Zion
3. Okafor
4. Maggette
5. Kyrie

Oof. Close call… Zion is the greater freak-of-nature… Coop is the more complete, well-rounded player.

I haven’t had as much fun watching a Duke team since 2019, for sure, including the FF ‘22 team. I’m too close to it right now to assess it clearly. It’s a tremendous compliment to Coop that it’s a legit consideration.

 

[christophero]

My dad said it's the best Duke team ever, and is not prone to saying such things. But like 99, they need to seal the deal. If I had to bet my paycheck on 25 vs 99 I'd bet 99.
I think Okafor is underrated he was a man down low. Especially on offense.

Tyus is in my Top 5. He was never afraid of the moment while playing for Duke.

Switch Deng out with Magette and you got it right.

 

[christophero]

I would but I am president of the Maggette fan club.

You know, the '99 team also played in a weak ACC that year. Only three teams made the tourney that season. Not taking anything away from them.

 

[christophero]

People forget how good Langdon was in college. He was a ridiculous shooter. One bounce was all he needed.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

If K had been healthier that season, we would have won. In his own words, he was spent by that point and could hardly get off the bench. Also, didn't we have some banged-up guys? Or am I remembering that incorrectly?

 

[christophero]

99? Brand hurt his wrist in the sweet 16, Battier was out late in the year with an ankle injury but came back for the tournament
Battier seemed a little gimpy from the games I rewatched.

Yeah, I thought so. K had his hip issues and had surgery immediately after the season ended.

Per bartorvik, Brown has highest steal % in the conference (4.7%). ACC DPOY Hepburn was at 4.1%.

That's freaking nuts.
