Official Gameday thread (1/21) Duke vs Miami

[christophero]

Lively's foul issues are really affecting his game. You can't be productive on the bench, and it forces Young to play more than he should.

 

[acc hoops]

Can someone please tell Proctor he's not a good 3 point shooter? These scoring draughts are killing us.

Coach needs to remind him he is a 23% 3 pt shooter and stick to mid range jumpers.

 

[christophero]

Hopefully Mitchell plays better in the second half. We need more than 2 points out of him.

 

[Mac9192]

Other than a drought toward the end of the half, it wasn’t that bad. Defense on Wong was really good. Our three point shooting was also solid. Guys hit them after good passes, where they could step into them.
Grandison isn’t as bad as some are making him. We need to move the ball and get him and Whitehead some good looks. Plus, he had 5 assists.

 

[christophero]

Grandison is giving us more than Baker did. Admittedly not much more.

 

[sheyduke]

He had 5 assists and hit a 3. When is the last time a Duke player had 5 assists in a half?

Why is that surprising? He’s a fifth year senior . So your saying five assist and one three is good enough from a fifth year senior on a team that is freshman oriented . It’s also not like he has five assist every game .

 

[Mac9192]

Grandison is giving us more than Baker did. Admittedly not much more.

True, but you could insert a few others name in place of his.

 

[christophero]

Blakes has kind of vanished since his 2 game scoring burst. He gets a pass today though, ha. Ugh 3 fouls on Young and Lively.

 

[BluePhil]

K would have been on those refs like white on rice. Grow some balls Scheyer.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Wow terrible charge call.

 

[sheyduke]

To be honest Lively looks good this game . His last foul IMO was not on him. There was no reason for him to be that far out on a guard .

 

[christophero]

Duke by 1. Proctor heating up. Lively playing well today.

Hello fellas

Here for 2023

Support Coach Scheyer

 

[christophero]

Whitehead could really use a second year. I say that knowing we will never get one. His game is a little awkward at this point. Flip with 11 and 11. Nice. Duke by 6.

 

[sheyduke]

That’s how a fifth year player plays defense!

 

[christophero]

This would be a really good win. Flip with 13 and 12. Good job Roach!

 

[sheyduke]

No one has mentioned Lively on the floor with three and looking good . Not bringing his arms down costing him another foul.

 

[pinecreek]

Miami keeps attacking the paint, only to be swatted away.

 

[christophero]

I said Lively was playing well, but you never fully read my posts lol.

 

[Alaskan_Assassin_21]

No identity Defensively

Has #30 picked #5 yet? They should be two man game.

 

[christophero]

We look really good, just need to finish down the stretch. We really need Roach's leadership.

 

[Fourteen44]

I’m confident that Miami could beat a Duke player with a bat and no foul would be called….

 

[Alaskan_Assassin_21]

We look really good, just need to finish down the stretch.

They are bricking open shots

 

[sheyduke]

I said Lively was playing well, but you never fully read my posts lol.

Yeah I do I know you pay attention to games lol so that’s why I didn’t quote you as usual 😂

 

[The_Only_Blue]

How are you 7'1 and from 2 feet away and decide to last the ball up there instead of dunking it 🤦‍♂️

 

[Alaskan_Assassin_21]

Feed these tall boys. They in the game to defend at the arch.

 

[BluePhil]

Time for our scoring drought.

 

[Alaskan_Assassin_21]

Is Luol Deng walking thru that door

 

[Fourteen44]

These announcers are still obsessed with Wong. Wow.

 

[christophero]

4 point lead, over 5 minutes left.

 

[BluePhil]

When you roll over on the floor with the ball it is traveling...

 

[Fourteen44]

Man Blakes trying to look like a masked hero lol

 

[pinecreek]

Duke bodied them up on their drives. Refs aren’t calling it. Has helped a lot.

 

[Alaskan_Assassin_21]

Lack of guards and the forwards can't feed the post

This team should be backing the post not dancing around the 3point line

 

[christophero]

These announcers are still obsessed with Wong. Wow.

That sounded naughty.

 

[Alaskan_Assassin_21]

Nice try out the timeout. Exactly what we needed couldn't convert

 

[christophero]

Ugh close game. We need to finish strong.

 

[Alaskan_Assassin_21]

30 & 3 need to play together

 

[Alaskan_Assassin_21]

Big FTs. Didn't play with his food.

 

[BluePhil]

Whew.

Good win for our post season chances.
