Official game day thread- Duke vs UNC III ACC quarters

There are two extremes on this board

The optimists

And

The pessimists

More of us need to be in the middle. Some of us are there, but some need to join us
What side am I on?

Just the fact that anyone would "call him out" for being human is pathetic. Would have loved to see you on the FT line. BTW, he was instrumental in holding RJ Davis to 8 points.

What about all the shots other players missed? What about all the turnovers other players committed (Proctor had only 1)? What about all the times the front court let Ven-Allen Lubejob get an offensive rebound basket?

Duke won, right?
Dear God. Another one??? If Duke had lost this game, I would have genuinely felt bad for Proctor. Fact is, HE had the opportunity as a veteran leader to put his team in a great position to win and he failed. I wouldn't want him to die over it, Christ. But what the hell is wrong with harmlessly expressing disappointment in a player that should be relied on, missing a very important FT?

Shockingly we agree here. No one called him a rat bastard for missing it. We all love the kid and wanted him to ice that game. He didn't, we still won. Let's all relax.
 
Of the posts you quoted. Can you point out where anyone hated on Proctor? He missed a very important shot and people made reasonable comments about it. Why do you need someone to have your back on a message board?

You reacted to this irrationally. And you're doubling down. Were we supposed to be like, oh nice try Proctor!? If people just continued to pile on and use harsh language towards him, you'd have an argument. But as it stands, you're just being a try hard and uppity fool.
Quote my initial post and then tell me I’m the irrational one. You won’t.
 
During the game they showed the records of the Cheats and Arkansas and their reasoning to get in the tourney. I don't think I would've ever said this but I'm rooting for Cal. It shouldn't even be close honestly. They had 5 quad 1 wins

Yep, hating on our leader is awesome for the board, you serious pig? You’ve been here as long as I have and it never used to be like this. Kid missed a f’ing ft. Ffs. Of all people on this board that have been here for 20 years like myself, you should hVe my back on this. @ConorONeill this is what I’m talking about.
Dude it says you have 82 post and joined in Jan 2023.. maybe you had a different handle and I missed it? Idk. But no I’m not going to have your back when I don’t see how anyone was hating on proctor or any other players for that matter. You jumped on a bunch of posters so I called it out
 
Why is everyone arguing? Duke just beat unc. Let’s talk about the lane violation. Did pat do something or not do something to coerce that? Pat looked like someone who just performed the hidden ball trick after that play. It’s almost like he and Evans knew something no one else did and were not surprised.

Gary’s post is up and it’s another must read. Refs really screwed them, Duke is maybe better without Coop, and they can still beat anyone in the country.

Mental illness continues to be a growing concern in this country.

I used to think it was wrong to criticize these college players. I don’t feel that way anymore now that they get paid a lot of money. Proctor did choke in the moment. A junior that has been there before has to make his FT’s in nut cuttin time. I told my wife Kon is clutch and he was.

The refs did screw them. They let them claw their way back into the game with a barrage of fouls at the end of the game and give them false hope. One of which, if not called, would have put the team in the lead with 4 seconds to go with a RJ tip in 😂 Let’s not forget UNC had 2 more points than they should have had anyway becuase of the first half botched goaltending call that was clearly a block that wasn’t reviewed as it should have been.
