***DUKE VS GEORGIA TECH OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[VaBlueDevil33]

We run no offense....just pass pass then jack up a wild shot...or turn it over before we get a shot off

Roach is a huge liability right now

 

[geddoughton23]

Goldwire with 7 points and 4 rebounds late in the first half. The posters who said that points must come from Hurt and Johnson were correct

 

[Duke1783]

Williams needs to play more. If for other reason, cause you can’t teach 7 feet

 

[denverexpat]

a rare late burst for us....and a lead at the half. Now lets see what we can bring the first 5 of the second half.

 

[lyonhawk]

I like Goldwire’s game tonight, but he has an uncanny ability to turn runout turnovers into no points.

 

[LONMUNU]

Nice to finally finish a half on a positive. Maybe someday Goldwire will try to back the ball out instead of taking on two players. You’re not that guy!

 

[geddoughton23]

6 points and 4 rebounds for Mark Williams. The peripheral players are producing. Just need some production from Hurt, Johnson and Moore

 

[BOOGIEMAN1914]

Williams height does make guys adjust their shots.....dj warming up!!!....damn goldy!!!

 

[LONMUNU]

Williams needs to play more. If for other reason, cause you can’t teach 7 feet

Absolutely. He altered shots or made them difficult just by being there.

 

[geddoughton23]

Steward had a spectacular close to the half... 12 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists

 

[denverexpat]

Roach is unproductive as a scorer or facilitator and gets beaten on defense - we need to find some production from the minutes he is getting from someone else

 

[AlanInNJ]

Nice minutes by Williams!! I smell victory. Let’s come out strong and put this out of reach. Big step in the right direction so far even if it wasn't pretty the whole time.

 

[denverexpat]

Hurt/Johnson/Moore need to score second half...only 8pts between them. Relying on a hot hand from 3 isn't our forte so more from those guys will be needed to win I think

 

[geddoughton23]

Duke still cannot get to the foul line. 4 of 4 in the first half. Good teams get Free Points from the line. Also the best way to set the defense

when we do drive its to kick back out for a long jump shot, very strange - rarely is it to drive to the hoop

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Our guards get beat on drives so easy

 

[denverexpat]

hey Goldwire....lock that guy down

 

[LONMUNU]

Nice little burst after letting GT get close.

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Johnson geez

 

[LONMUNU]

Alvarado single handedly keeping GT in this game.

 

[denverexpat]

how does Steward miss his man going to the corner?

 

[denverexpat]

we just lose the ball so easily...dont have strong handles and give away easy buckets.....and there goes the lead. Every game our opponents PG score at will

 

[BOOGIEMAN1914]

Lead gone...new game

 

[LONMUNU]

I know these kids are playing hard but no one on this team plays with fire. No one with the heart like, hell no we ain’t losing this.

 

[denverexpat]

2 great looks at a 3 and zero points. We do not execute well when we have a numbers advantage on the break

 

[Duke1783]

2 wide open 3s. Clank clank

They can learn a lot from how Alvardo plays 100% all the time

 

[Duke1783]

FWIW the last 2 times Duke lost to GT, Duke went to the Final Four

 

[denverexpat]

sums it up...Roach doesnt lay out to get the loose ball, Alvardo wants it more....tied game

 

[Duke1783]

Agreed.

 

[germantondevil]

Tie game with 5 to go?? WOW!!! What is going on??

Seniors know how to win

Gotta make the tournament before we can make the final four.

 

[500HP_Devil]

I can kinda see Alvarado on a NBA roster somewhere....he’s gritty and impressive

 

[LONMUNU]

Wow that was a BS three that went in.

 

[denverexpat]

good grief....a prayer answered - then we clank another 3....going to be close

 

[Duke1783]

Gotta make the tournament before we can make the final four.

True dat

 

[ioliva]

I don’t get why we keep setting up for 3s. Why can’t we go for drives. Only people they should shoot 3s are hurt and dj

 

[BOOGIEMAN1914]

Parham #wow

 

[500HP_Devil]

Time to give Williams some more run
