***DUKE VS WAKE FOREST OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[JohnstonCDevil]

Trent still hot from three!!!
OFC

 

[dbav]

Alright, offense looks better.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Gary with a 3! 18 point lead! No, make that 20 point lead after Bags takes it the length of the court and ends with a slam!!!

OFC

 

[dukesince91]

We've been having some difficulties on the boards tonight. Weird.

I think some of it has to do with the long rebounds.

 

[dukiejay]

This. They’re not JJ. But then again, we really don’t want them to be. Right?

Right, I guess. But not sure of your point.

My point is we’re not a good free throw shooting team, which isn’t typical of traditional Duke teams. And that it’s frustrating.

 

[dbav]

I think some of it has to do with the long rebounds.

Probably, I just feel like we're giving up an unusual amount of offensive boards, mostly to Moore.

 

[tw3301]

Welp, that was a nice run.

 

[500HP_Devil]

Breaking news alert Bagley is f*ing great. Jeez!

 

[dukiejay]

Great start to the second half.

 

[hallside]

Fighting on the boards, playing tight D and getting in transition lets gooooo!!

 

[dukesince91]

Does that corner shot by Grayson count as a blown shot, since he didn't draw the foul?

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

If his name was Berry!

OFC

 

[dbav]

Wendell Carter continues to be a big strong man.

 

[dbav]

I could hear Javin scream "and 1" from the bench, haja.

 

[dukesince91]

I know we're all excited about next year's class, but we may never see 2 bigs as polished on offense as Bags and Carter.

 

[TheLaettnerStomp]

Right, I guess. But not sure of your point.

My point is we’re not a good free throw shooting team, which isn’t typical of traditional Duke teams. And that it’s frustrating.

Sure. My point is, I suppose, that this isn’t your typical Duke team. Florida reminds me of a typical Duke team. Offense predicated on the 3-Ball. We have a true inside presence and have all the pitfalls of that. This isn’t a team that will kill you with great free throw shooting or really, shooting in general. Accept what we have and know the free throws will get incrementally better.

I’m hoping coach k hasn’t already went to 6 deep again. We have been playing our best defense when we play 8 guys at least. Why tonight no Goldwire is he sick?

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Wake's got it down to 13 and going to the line for and 1.

OFC

 

[dukesince91]

It's about time for the Boo Birds to surface since we've gotten sloppy the last few minutes. Time to refocus.

 

[pisgah101]

Has anyone ever had a Mellow Mushroom Pizza?

There's one in downtown Asheville and people love it. I've had it once and it wasn't bad

 

[dbav]

Duval and Bagley are struggling. I'd like to see Carter back on the floor.

 

[TheLaettnerStomp]

Wake's got it down to 13 and going to the line for and 1.

OFC

Patience Grasshopper.

 

[AlanInNJ]

This is a more mature Duke team at this point of the season. Wake will make a run. We will recover. Growing before our eyes.

We got this.

 

[dukiejay]

I’m hoping coach k hasn’t already went to 6 deep again. We have been playing our best defense when we play 8 guys at least. Why tonight no Goldwire is he sick?

Goldwire isn’t going to be a regular. Some nights he’ll see spot minutes.

 

[germantondevil]

Duke looks lazy and ragged right now

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Down to 9

OFC.

 

[dbav]

Love the kid, but Duval needs to come out. The missed layups are killing us.

 

[pisgah101]

Man I hate this kind of game. An opponent that has no business hanging around and we get up big then fall asleep. Just crush them!!!!

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Down to 8.

OFC

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Great pass from Grayson to Bags for an oop!

OFC

 

[dukesince91]

Game ball is an easy pick tonight.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Hahaha, Bags finally broke up one of those oops to Moore, and a dunk by Trent on the other end.

OFC

 

[dbav]

Grayson has been our best distributor in this game.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Game ball is an easy pick tonight.

Grayson has done a little bit of everything.

OFC

 

[Dad2ze]

How the hello was that not a foul?!?!?

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

Grayson doing it all!!
OFC

 

[dukesince91]

There's one in downtown Asheville and people love it. I've had it once and it wasn't bad

There's one in Boone as well. I like it too, I miss the old Godfather pizzas though.

 

[HeLooks2MuchLikeDave]

Like the mettle we are showing

 

[TheLaettnerStomp]

Grayson has done a little bit of everything.

OFC

Grayson has benefited from running point. He can really pass the ball. It’s great to see a player mature from then to now. Go Duke!

 

[dukiejay]

Grayson has been our best distributor in this game.

Grayson is our best distributor. Plain and simple.
