Nothing I said was out of line. I didn’t post right after the game for a reason.
Understood and don’t disagree, but if you put yourself in our shoes, you wouldn’t want to be engaged in conversation with a Carolina fan either. I just don’t see what is gained by coming over here, even the morning after.
I typically come over here after the annual games win or lose and share my thoughts. Been doing it for the past few years.
CarolinaBlue is good people....and I truly don't think he means much by it at all. Under normal circumstances it would be more natural, but I'm not sure you'll find one Duke fan who cares more about losing to Carolina than they do about Zion's prospects. The game last night really means nothing to me right now.
I agree. However, look at the games he played well in...sisters of the poor and Ivy League schools he’s undersized for most ACC competition
Yeah, but he played really well against some really good teams, too. You don't go from being that valuable to nothing because of competition. I mean, he's missed 25 straight three's. 25!!!
Again, I’m not arguing with you dukiejay but he’s had TWO decent games all year. Army and E Mich. not exactly world beaters. He made Luke Maye look like a world class tri-athlete last night.... my point being I’m trying not to have a panic attack looking forward to next year.
Congratulations on your win, you guys definitely clear-cut won the game and there’s no argument to it. Also, thanks for the Zion support. He’s always unbelieveable, of course just wish it was a different kind of unbelieveable last night.
Zion’s presence alters the game, even if he doesn’t have the ball or is defending off-ball. The space he creates for our offense to get clean looks is irreplaceable. He’s a paint-protector defensively. Duke’s shooting is always a mystery with or without him, but the 60 points Carolina scored in the paint I can say without a shadow of a doubt would have been a different story.
Preparation wise, a gameplan was instilled offrnsively and defensively with Zion included. Changing defensive matchups and adjusting to a Zion-less offensive was too much for us to overcome. When a gameplan is tossed out and you’re suddenly doing everything different, especially against a respectable ranked team, 3 freshmen and 2 role players..... chaos takes over.
None of that is an excuse for the pitiful performance, we have way too much talent for it to happen like that. I’m still ready to projectile vomit at the slightest flashback of our defense.
With or without Zion, the next one at Chapel Hill will be a different story. I’m not taunting a win, but it definitely won’t be an unprepared embarrassment.
Whoa! Don't get crazy on me, DukeKY!
I give credit to Roy, but that doesn't make up or atone for the thousands of crap things he's said & done over the years...including the cheating...that he 'aw shucks' away. No, when the opportunity presents itself to me, I'll go after him, because believe me Roy is still going to Roy.OFC
AOC has to make shots. In limited time, he's been bad on O. We can't absorb the hit his presence on the court delivers if he's not offsetting that by making shots. His role this year was supposed to be perimeter shooting off the bench. To come in, IN LIMITED MINUTES, and provide some offensive punch. He wasn't expected to be a defensive stopper, or a plus rebounder, off the bench. But he was expected to make 3s. We needed him to be around 38% on a respectable number of takes. With a few other 2s thrown in for good measure. Instead, he can't make threes. Thus he adds nothing.
.
I'm afraid he's a guy that needs heavy minutes to "get into the flow" of the game and start making shots. We don't have that luxury. This year, he needs to make shots immediately upon insertion into the game.
Yes, his timing was a little off, but CarolinaBlue is a sane, and reasonable poster. I wish he were a Duke fan.
OFC
Hes known for this type of behavior. Just try to ignore him- not worth it....OFC
Whoa! Don't get crazy on me, DukeKY!

DIRT, THANKS BUDDY!

I was drunk???? Hahahaha!!
Fair enough. A player of his caliber doesn’t come around very often. I hope his injury isn’t too serious.
CB34 has been MIA all season, but decides to show up the morning after UNC beats Duke. Not a good look.
The substance of his message was as clean as can be. But in the grand scheme of things as we are all sick to our stomachs awaiting the fate of our season, reading a Carolina’s fan’s 2 cents about the game last night was not well received by me. Just wasn’t.
I’ve been on sporadically here and there over the course of the season. It’s not like UNC won and then I decided to show up. I posted my thoughts before the game and afterwards as I always do. Think what you want, I’m not here to troll.
I saw that and got a chuckle out of it because the park service twitter responded to his tweet. Lol!
We appreciate you allowing us to "think what we want!"
You’re welcome. Never change, Hart haha.
Barrett got inside several times and scored. Then 3 or 4 trips straight they shoot 3's. Happened just about every time there was a Duke run. Drive, jump stop, jumper. Wasn't implying they should run guys over, just some higher percentage shots.
