***DUKE VS NORTH CAROLINA OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[PixelDevil]

Everyone has to step it up

 

[duhondukie]

If he is wearing the Nike Kyrie this is not a surprise. Our high school team sent over 6 pairs back due to the same issue. Unreal

 

[Dad2ze]

Swear word, swear word Nike! Swear word swear word, you have got to be kidding me!

Paul George is gonna have all his shoes returned tomorrow

 

[Showenuff]

Unreal. Unreal.

 

[dbav]

Let's fight fellas!

 

[Mpm277]

Nike just lost out on a shoe deal tonight. I still don't understand how an entire shoe just rips apart like that

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Falling in love with the three ball early

 

[PixelDevil]

But Luke can lower his shoulder and plow into our guy right?

 

[DukeDenver]

Unreal. Unreal.

Sprained knee. Too risky to come back

 

[dbav]

Go get it Cam.

 

[LONMUNU]

I swear there is a lid on the basket tonight

 

[bluedevilfan42]

But Luke can lower his shoulder and plow into our guy right?

Exactly. I said the same d$&@ thing

 

[Jnood]

This is not how I hoped this would go.

 

[Jakarii]

Yep. I’m not even a duke fan and this hurt me. I even yelled out “NOOOOOO” at the tv

Yea it was awkward. Could almost be knee as well but he did grab like it was hamstring.

Sucks either way as the D is pretty bad so far.

 

[tclark6]

Geez!

 

[K-oach Q]

We are in big trouble...

 

[dbav]

Gotta get calmed down at the next timeout. I think Zion deflated them. Gonna get settled.

 

[PixelDevil]

Drive the ball, good things will happen

 

[Jnood]

They’re going to accidentally make shut off the glass now.

 

[PixelDevil]

If Carolina actually made some of these wide open threes, this deficit would be a lot bigger

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Quit shooting the three. Drive the ball

 

[kingbluedevil]

Why keep shooting threes

 

[K-oach Q]

We have no post threat or inside game without Zion...this will be all jumpmshooting....

 

[kwyjibos13]

Not only are you not going to call Luke Maye for two hands on the offensive player, you are going to call Bolden for an offensive foul?

I have been thinking this for awhile, and it really concerns me: Officials really do not know how to officiate our athleticism and in turn, call shitty offensive fouls...

 

[Mpm277]

Keep shooting effing threes, fellas. Good freaking god.

 

[pisgah101]

Sprained knee. Too risky to come back

Official?

 

[Oriole Way]

We're going to have to resort to pressing with Goldwire and Jones full court again to keep the ball out of White's hands and turn them over.

 

[PixelDevil]

I propose a one night lift on the cursing ban.

 

[dbav]

Keep fighting fellas. Make those adjustments and keep fighting.

 

[Fightfan1]

I have no issue with us taking wide open threes.

But like someone said, Carolina has missed some easy ones. We should be down 20.

Guys just look tentative and lost. No energy without Zion.

 

[pisgah101]

I love how we shoot crap threes constantly

 

[kwyjibos13]

Drive the ball, good things will happen

That is the thing, cheaters fouling the hell out of our drivers to no avail. If they called two hands on the offensive player, Carolina would be in serious foul trouble. This is getting ridiculous...

 

[Buzzooka Joe]

When a guy goes down like that the entire vibe just changes.....we saw it against Syracuse....

Exactly. It’s like I become emotionless after that point.

 

[BlueDevils725]

I really hope our guys don't think this formula will work in March. Chucking 3's as soon as they touch the ball and praying the opponent doesn't score. The Louisville game and now this have me worried. Also, why the hell do we always get hurt @ home? This is the first season I don't look forward to Cameron Indoor games.

 

[BlueDaveil]

Not sure how you guys are still paying attention to the game. Unless Zion at least comes back out to the bench soon it’s gonna be a long night. What kind of shoe just falls apart like that?

 

[K-oach Q]

They are just packing it in now....these are good shots....this is all they will do the rest of the game without Zion....if we don’t make shots we will get crushed....it’s already almost out of hand....We have zero things for them to worry about inside the paint now....driving lanes are congested all over....

 

[springsportster]

Nike shoes fell apart a lot in HS. Switched to NB, never looked back. That looked like the intro to the Incredible Hulk where his feet blow the shoe up.

 

[Duke Blu]

I can’t even focus on the game. Damnit I’m just praying Zion is ok. Damn sneaker smdh

 

[tp394]

Of all games why this one? Why?

 

[PixelDevil]

Well I'll be burning my nike shoes if Zion doesn't come back.
