***DUKE VS NC STATE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

I have no idea, but I'm going through the game thread and this board seems utterly ruined right along with it. It use to be a lot more positive encouraging post, but literally has turned into something straight out of RR. I get people are frustrated, heck so am I, but what good does it do to keep posting? Some need to try taking a break during the bad stretch, unless you trying to build post counts. I will be glad if and when Duke gets back to playing like they are capable of so some of this will die down a lot.
We are hanging tough..I still think we will win.
My belief is that we never developed a “team”. Even tonight different starters, different lineups, guys playing that didn’t play etc. etc
We don’t have an identity and roles it’s just always different. To late now though just have to hope for the best.

So Joey starts..presume to get some shooting, goes 0-1 and sees no more time....Jack White having played against UVA gets zero mins, Jrob having played zero minutes against UVA gets to play quite a lot and helps....maybe its me but this just seems to have no rhyme or reason to our rotations. I have no idea what our best team is at this point
Yes, the zone doesn’t look great but it has helped ease the pressure of Carey defending ball screens.
Oi, some of us are trying to get to post #1000 thank you very much.
I'm right here meis lol. Just watching the game, reading this board and getting a little laugh in at both.
Why is our offense so trash. Like how is there a way we have the second ranked offense in the country but yet at times we go on long stretches where we’re just lost. There’s no motion or anything. Just pass the ball around the perimeter a couple times and into Carey and hopefully something opens up. It irks me.
Best stat of the night so far other than having the lead at the half is only one foul on Vernon.
Honestly can’t believe we went on an 8-0 run to close the half. Seems like the first time our boys have had any momentum in a long time.
Tell one of the mods that you can have mine except for post #1. That one is special and all mine.
I agree it's like at work sometimes you're better off not even talking about it because it just gets everyone down.
How dare someone be positive on here?
On a positive note AOC is gonna get some run this second half and we win by twenty. Bet the house on it lol OFC
Misery loves company and here lately, you have enough to start up a new company.
Nice run to end the half. Limit the turnovers and play smart and this SHOULD be a 15 point win.
We need a strong start to the 2nd half for our confidence. If we can get it, I think we might be able to pull away!!!

Yea I dont get it either, almost like they take it way to personal, I hate when Duke loses and plays bad, but man I'm way to blessed to be stressed! But it is entertaining to see the roller coaster of emotion from some people, one year we dont play the bench enough, or we dont have a team, no one steps up then When we were on our winning streaks...not to long ago mind you, we finally had a "team" and a "bench" and different guys were stepping up...hit a rough patch and it all out the door!
We don’t have the second best offense, we have the second highest scoring offense. We did play pretty poorly on offense for 75% of the half and are still on pace to score 80 so there’s that.
This is UNC level bad basketball back when they were 0-7 streak. Will be quite a battle Saturday.
I really think the lack of steady rotation is a huge part of the problem. How are we supposed to have any continuity with a new starting lineup every game and everyone’s minutes all over the place.
Lol, my positivity has worked for me. Keep worrying and being negative. In the long run, it will wear on you like in a physical presence first lol. Find yourself looking 75 when you're actually 35 lol.
Some need a little adversity in their lives lol. Never know what you can push past until you try. The easy thing is to lay down in the fetal position and whine for your bottle.
If we start this second half like the first I might have to buy a new tv lol
That Sh** feels good don't it K-oach. I've been watching you and you have taken a giant leap toward positivity. Proud of you lol.
Today's rotation and PT has been a doozy! No way to predict who plays or how much...pity you cant place bets on it as some of the odds...like Jrob's mins and pts would have paid off big! Care to wager if we see White or AOC?
Or even more Jrob? If we win I cant wait to hear what K says about this. Its quite fascinating.

We've just been struggling to make shots. Started 1-12, and have the lead at halftime. I'll take it. If we can get any kind of consistency making shots we will regain that needed confidence we're lacking right now. As frustrated as we are, I can't imagine how Coach K feels.
That’s the confusing thing. Like just based off the “eye test” i wouldn’t guess we have a top offense in the country. And then i look at the score and see we still scored 38 points that half.
