Realfreedom on the Roy's presser thread:
"
It is basic math. 40% from three is the same as 50% from two. When is the last time you walked into the Y and saw young kids shooting a 10, 12 or 15 footer. Everyone shoots the three. It is not a difficult shot yet Roy refuses to change his style. I was proud of most of the effort last night especially since Hicks did not play. Berry was off and Williams did not show up at all on the offensive end. Seemed to me everyone else stepped up and kept us in it.

Nice timeout used by K to stop our run in the second half. Wonder what he was able to say to the boy's? Isn't that why Roy refuses to stop runs by calling a timeout? "What would I say to them?""

You read that correctly, apparently in Chapel hill 40% of 3 is the same as 50% of 2.

Currently I am livid with my seventh grade math teacher. Here I've spent the last 30 years thinking 40% of 3, is greater than 50% of 2. Damn you Mr.Griffin... Damn you!
Thanks Realfreedom!

At least Isiah Hicks being out gave the Holes their built in excuse and something to better help them deal with yet ANOTHER loss to Duke. Isiah Kareem Abdul Russell Olajuwon Chamberlain Hicks. See how easy that is?? Remember when those idiots were saying that childish nonsense when Amile was out? Pretty much mocking how UNIMPORTANT he was to the Duke team?? It was just us fans claiming he was very important even though we knew it wasn't true. Lol. Morons.

Not really a direct quote from a single individual over there, but right now a group of UNC fans are having a circle jerk about how Roy doesn't really care about the games against Duke like he does the one's against NC State.

Jeez, I saw that! The ridiculous stuff some of the guys come up with.

Oh, and Gary-7 was making a case that Berry should have been credited with 4 assists instead of 2! He really loves him some Joel.

OFC

Hahaha....I know. And he kind of got testy with the person who questioned him.

What I hate is that every time UNC loses he doesn't do a true 'stats n stuff' recap. I was a little disappointed in his recap from last night's game. Thought there could have been a lot more ref talk and blame thrown around at every player but Berry. Oh well.

 

[Butterbutt44]

Congrats on the win.
Kennard and Allen shooting was awesome, dissapointing the way Roy continues to gameplan against you guys year in year out defensively the same fricken way and it kills us every year.

Not having Hicks was obviously a huge blow and caused us to have to play Maye way too much, and why Roy kept him on tatum every time he came in was mind boggling. Luke played well offensively but got abused on D. Theo was clearly the matchup there but him just coming back probably caused some of the lack of him defending tatum.

I look forward to the game in chapel hill, I hope both teams are at full strength. Very frustrating the way Roy continues to get his ass kicked by K coaching wise- make no mistake, that has been the difference these past years, as UNC has arguably had the better overall team a lot of these years.

Uhhhh not to burst your bubble dude but you don't have the better overall team this year. With the exception of last year not sure when you did have arguably the better team.

2011 and 12 for sure. Last year. I still think we are better this year, we didn't have our starting power forward last night. Regardless, my point was the programs have been even from a team standpoint enough outside of playing each other to where duke shouldn't be winning the series overall the way they have been. I can think of at least 4 games off the top of my head in the last 6 years where unc had a double digit lead late in the second half and Roy got abused.

I'm saying there's no way if the two coaches switched sides the results wouldn't be way different. Not to say I don't want Roy, as outside the duke games he's been outstanding in my opinion.

2011? Not a chance man. We are talking about Barnes freshman year right? We split regular season and beat you in the ACCT if I'm not mistaken, and this was all without Kyrie.

First off, I know you get some flak here from certain posters but continue to post....personally, I like guests here. You're going to get jabbed some but that's the nature of the rivalry. You've never let other posters change your posting style. I appreciate that.

But, I strongly disagree about 2011. That Duke team was really good, and imo, better than UNC. We underachieved in the NCAAT, for sure, but we beat you twice in three games and rather soundly at the ACCT. We just ran into an Arizona team clicking on the right night.

With the exception of 2012 and last year, I feel pretty good in saying that Duke has been the best team in five of the last seven years. For this season it's still too early to call.

Good luck the rest of the way!

 

[HuffyJB]

^ Yeah, Duke was definitely the better team in 2011, with seniors Smith and Singler, along with Curry, two oldest Plumlees, Kelly, and some of Kyrie. And it's not close. But I'll give them 2012, they were better then.

 

[GTHC_ GTH!]

Yep. They have clearly been the better team with 0 titles to 2 for Duke. Duke winning 12 of 15 or whatever. Duke has no NIT appearances. And no NCAA scandal. Should I go?

#mathishard #UNCdegree

Makes sense to me. I mean if you shot 100 2's and 100 3's at 50% and 40% you would get the exact same point total.

Because 100 points is equal to 120 points right?

 

[KellenPatrick]

DSouthr isn't very happy with their latest loss to mighty DUKE. Lol.

"Dukies with your nice new shiny accounts set up just to come here and rub salt in our wounds today can have your fun. But after you have keep this in mind, you have to face us again in OUR house and you may not be as fortunate as you were last night having our starting power forward out of the game and our floor leader have a bad night.

Your dukies played their best game, your dukies had to play their very best game, we didn't. So fill yourselves up with all the hot air you want because it simply allows us to deflate you more on the last saturday of the season, in our house! Pay back will be coming and guarantee ya when we serve it up it will be following a game with more meaning than last nights game had!"

10 DSouthr, Yesterday at 8:33 AM

 

[KellenPatrick]

A few from our good friend keysersosay:

"Dook is what they always have been and will be......... a 3 pt shooting team that, when hot like tonight, will burn you.,,why in God's name ANY big man would go there is beyond me."

key always loves bringing up the Lance Thomas thing. It's his go to schtick. And the amount seems to go up all the time too. keyser has it up to 70k now. Lol. Jewelry "scam". Ha haaa, what a fool.

"I see we have the usual trash from UK east that shows up to spew their usual garbage after they squeak out a win. hey dookiebags, you can have that phony ahole of a coach of yours and that dirty POS player( punkson mctripper) that you love so much .

BTW Lance Thomas says hello and thanks to ALL of doochie nation again and again and again for the ongoing cover up of his $70k jewelry scam he ran during his days at UK EAST."

 

[KellenPatrick]

GoNtheDistance not very happy after the loss either. Lol.

"Amile Jefferson is absolute trash. He nearly fouled out in a game in which our primary post scorer didn't even play. He also didn't rebound worth a crap against a much smaller line up than we usually throw on the floor. I said he was trash before the game and last night showed exactly why. Anybody who acts like Dook gets consistent production from their interior is flat out full of shit."

 

[KellenPatrick]

gunslingerdick:

"Y'all are about at your ceiling. Sure, you'll gel a little more and roles might be more defined. But you have 3 players - Allen, Kennard and Tatum that will have to carry you. They can do a pretty good job of that like they did last night. But you can't shoot like that every game. You can't even shoot like that most games. And when y'all can't shoot well, you're not a good enough team to rely on defense or rebounding to save you. We're a better built team - more balanced and more capable of beating different styles. We're better equipped for a run at a title than duke is.

I'm still saying we'll win the regular season."

 

[KellenPatrick]

gunslingerrichard again:

"Duke can't play much better than they did. They're not going to shoot at that clip many games and they're never going to shoot at that clip away from home.

There aren't many people that come away from that game thinking duke is a better team than Carolina. You might. But you'd be in the minority. We're better built for a deep run than duke is. That's the plain truth. And the rest of the season will show that."

 

[KellenPatrick]

DSouthr also unhappy. Lol. They are trying to somehow comfort themselves by saying they played poorly and Duke, of course it happens against the Holes of all games!!, played their absolute best. Ha haaaaa. Also saying IF Berry didn't shoot so bad...blah, blah, blah!!! That's part of the equation you morons!! Berry has kinda sucked for a few weeks now anyways. But don't tell gary that!

"It does not matter what we say, anything we say you are itching to use your excuse line so much that you would tell us that the sun coming up this morning is an excuse. Truth is we have made no excuses, is it not a fact that our starting power forward was not available for this game? Is it not a fact that our floor leader did struggle shooting in this game, of course those 2 things are facts and not excuses. Is it not a fact that duke played at the very top of their game last night, seriously doubt that tripster hits 7 treys every game, fact."

 

[dukiejay]

gunslingerdick:

"We're better equipped for a run at a title than duke is."

Maybe, I don't know. Normally in college basketball you need an elite backcourt. UNC has half of one, but that's it.

 

[QC Dukie]

Sooooo we have THREE players that can carry us and they have one? Yet they still are the better team? Ummm ok.

OFC

 

[Jnood]

The ceiling talk is pretty funny. There are a lot of variable that can still come into play. They act like they are the only team that can make positive adjustments in the next game, and the only thing Duke can do, is shoot worse.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Maybe, I don't know. Normally in college basketball you need an elite backcourt. UNC has half of one, but that's it.

And that half a backcourt has had a few hiccups while playing away from the Dean Dome. Berry is really good, but he showed a case of the jitters when he barely drew iron on that one ft. He showed a good bit of frustration. I look for him to bounce back, but wonder if his mental toughness hasn't taken a hit.
I hope it has anyway.

Youre probably right about 11, but imo it was very close. UNC did get to the elite 8 that year and was about one jump shot away from beating UK to go to the final 4. That year was weird because Roy let Larry Drew start over half the yr at the point and when he finally let Kendall take over the team turned into a monster. But I think it was a close call between the two, the talent was pretty legit on both teams.

Regardless, my whole point was that for the series to be 12-3 since then is just despicable from a unc fan perspective. As I mentioned, hteres been at least 3 or 4 games I can think of where UNC had the games in hand and because of a combination of Roys insistence on playing help defense against You guys and K seemingly handing him his ass game in game out, the results have been what they have been. Id say at worst it should be about 9-6 duke in those 15 games. All the games have been close for the most part and coaching has made the difference.

I'd tend to agree here. We have certainly stolen a few games due to K simply out coaching Roy. I think any reasonable fan would say the same. I do think we just won the game on Thursday though, rather than this being another "steal" so to speak.

I'm beginning to wonder if a prerequisite for being a Hole fan, is to have never took a math class after the 5th grade. The past week math hasn't been a strong subject for the Holes.This tidbit comes from the thread "I have a question". What Would Jesus Do stated that he can't remember a game Carolina won at the free throw line, so gunslingerdick dropped some math knowledge on him...


Against Clemson - a game we won by 3 points - we shot 9/12 (75%)

Against WFU - a game we won by 6 points - we shot 19/24 (79%)

Against BC - a game we won by 8 points - we shot 24/29 (82%)

If we shot our average (70%) in any of those 3 games, there's a good chance we lose.




Ummm, If you shot 70% in all three games, there is a 0% chance you lose any of the three. Come on guys it's simple math! ... Or is it maff?

 

[timo0402]

Archer the king of the "recruited over" accusation suddenly wants the younger players to play over the senior. Funny how that works, I guess these guys weren't recruited over it was just a coincidence that they play the same position.

"I would much prefer those minutes go to 7th and Brandon. Nate's biggest asset was making FT's down the stretch and he isn't doing that anymore. I love Nate but I think the youngin's deserve more PT and at Nate's expense. IMO, Nate shouldn't be playing more than about 8 MPG."

Yes, Knox would play SF and Luke would play PF. I just lined them up this way to emphasize the talent similarity.

We've seen this formula work before.

Remember when Steat said Ingram was a bust? I think I just read that since January 1, Ingram is second omong rookies in both scoring and rebounding.

Pure gold. The best comparison is Theo Pinson to Michael Jordan. It's easy to see the similarities.

 

[timo0402]

Stats and stuff is up fellas for the unc beat down of state but you wouldn't have realized that Gary counted TWELVE BLOWN ASSSISTS-----in the first half!!! And that's not an exaggeration.

Soap new and improved chimed in claiming if it weren't for those darn refs they would have won by 50. They can't win by enough to not blame the refs.

Yeah, I made a bet with someone over there last year, I think it was Keysersosay, who said that Ingram would never average double figure points in his entire career. I don't think I will lose that one

Yeah, like 3 weeks into Brandon's NBA career and Steat had already figured it all out. Way to jump the gun in your excitement to see (hope) him to fail. Moron.
