Got to stop with four guards . I know Mitchell is out but with four guards on the floor teams will almost dare others to score . Good grind it out win but the ball movement must stop going stagnant.
Official game day thread- Duke vs GT 2
- Thread starter pisgah101
- Start date
Flip has 30 and 13 and people say for him to step up. Cmon now. He is far from perfect but my goodness. Thankful he plays for Duke. A W is a W.
I'm pretty happy with the win. Things don't always go your way, but we battled and held them off. More concerned about the injuries.
My bad you guys. Started by watching the game. We play like crap when i watch. A lot better when i listen.
As for Roach, tell-tale signs it was cramping.
We really see how important MM is for defense. Not a great game for McCain. His first take from three he had sone space. Not a bad shot if you have to but so early in the clock, GT comes down and nails a three. Not good.

A ugly W is still better than an L. Proctor and Young took some load off Flip down the stretch.
I’m not going to make anymore pregame predictions. It’s why I gave up betting on games years ago.

Ryan Young and Blakes brought their lunch pails and hard hats today. Flip carried us along with Roach. Proctor rounding into form. Freshman guards are going to be freshman guards some nights.
Man, we had to overcome A LOT to win this one. A win is a win. Let's 🙏 for Mark and Roach.
Nice comeback, hopefully Duke will get Roach & Mitchell back soon and they can stay healthy the rest of the season. Enough injuries
What was with the officiating? Kyle gets creamed on the inside and nothing called. But then Foster whistled for two cheap ones. MM t'd up at GT, but GT chirps when Duke at the line and the GT player flexes and stares down our player after a throwdown and nothing.
They need to institute the foul challenge rule the NBA has...

Not the revenge game we thought it was going to be but it's a win. We have a week to heal up and hopefully will never have to play that four guard lineup ever.
Who cares. A win is a win. Go back to your mom's basement with your chicken nuggets.
Clearly not the real Dave Chappelle. This guy is a clown, Jim.
Yes sir. You know he gets an allowance each week for taking out the trash and unloading the dishwasher.
Got that W and that's ALL that matters.
Between this and Pitt how can Flip not be national player of the week?
Someone mentioned Roach was cramping.
I hope that’s all it was but they were looking and feeling the knee, not the calf or hammy.
🤞

Good news is we have a week til our next game.
According to the AP article Roach and Mitchell are both knee issues. Hopefully minor.

I'm no doctor but from what I've heard, he's okay.
So you don't understand the game, can't analyze what you're watching, and get angry when basketball discussions happen?
Oh I can, but you're a troll who has outlasted thier welcome- which wasn't much in the first place. Why do you come to this page as a Cheat fan? Cmon now, guru Gary- just leave.
He had an awesome game. His 2nd half adjustments and points looked vastly different then the first half. Now I would also say the defense of Young and Blakes helped him out. Their presence allowed him to play relaxed and not forced.
he was much better second half, first half he wasnt helping us on either end. He's a enigma...looks like a lottery pick at times and then looks like a rookie at times. Would love to see some consistency but it appears we are going to ride the Flip train one way or another.

Young was huge for us in the second half. I know a few posters don’t like to see him on the court, but he’s saved Duke’s ass a couple of games now. I sure hope Proctor is rounding into form. Gutsy win tonight!
Spot on. Young deserves minutes, and hope this was a good sign for Proctor.
Jon's comments after the game don't give me much hope that Roach and Mark will be on the court next Saturday. But hopefully, they'll both make quick recoveries.
Hope that's not the case, bleed. That's alot of production not playing.
For sure. It sounds day to day for Mark. But he wasn't able to push off. And they'll do tests on Roach to see. So, not cramps.
Hear that. Buddy of mine was there and said Roach looked engaged and was smiling FWIW.
Happy for the W. Gotta get healthy though. May have to accept that Stewart and Power aren’t going to be ready this year.
Yea I noticed MM injury in the Pitt game and asked about it. We certainly need those two cause even easy W’s at home are not guaranteed especially without all of your players.
Well we all know the update we will get by Wednesday...they are day to day and will do everything to get better.
If both are out for Pitt- not good.

I think we can beat Pitt without those 2 but we need them for the stretch run. Jon looked a little sad when asked about Mark.
