Official Gameday thread- game 8- Duke Vs Purdont

[pisgah101]

Some of these foul calls are terrible

 

[K-oach Q]

This defense is infuriating…Scheyer can’t make in game adjustments.

 

[pisgah101]

We give up two wide open threes and our offensive look is a lively 3… impressive

 

[denverexpat]

Not seeing a gameplan for the Big Guy....nor any adjustment...so the outcome is predictable. A well organized and older team taking us to the woodshed so far...no surprise

 

[Fourteen44]

Wow, Roach is tough AF. Too bad rest of team is soft AF.

And no more excuses for Whitehead.

 

[K-oach Q]

Scheyer has the Coach K defensive complex…

My way is the way….screw it if it doesn’t work….I’m not changing it….it’s infuriating

 

[sheyduke]

Nothing you can do . Roach looking like he’s asking the rest of the team to help . This is just another game where this team must learn .

 

[JimboSlice00]

When a program counts on one and done as much as we do and two of those give you absolutely nothing- it's not a good thing.

 

[pisgah101]

This defense is infuriating…Scheyer can’t make in game adjustments.

Lol dude we’re 8 games in.. let’s give him a little time before yelling for his head

 

[K-oach Q]

You can literally do a thousand things…

1) Double the post

2) Trap the ball up top

3) Run 900 different zones defenses…

What you can’t do is stay firm and watch us lose everyone with all the cutting….but alas we do just that.

 

[christophero]

We are just an average team until we start getting more out of Lively and Whitehead.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Run out the gym

Yep

 

[Dad2ze]

I see things haven’t changed since I’ve been off here. We start losing a game and we are calling for the coach to be crucified.

 

[K-oach Q]

Just tell me the adjustment he’s shown this game after 25 minutes??? I’ll wait….

 

[pisgah101]

Zone now

 

[K-oach Q]

Hahah Zone!!!! Only took twenty five minutes!!

 

[Dad2ze]

Put Young on Sasquatch. Run the O through Flip.

 

[pisgah101]

Hahah Zone!!!! Only took twenty five minutes!!

Better then not at all?

 

[pisgah101]

Proctor looks good driving

 

[K-oach Q]

0-4 against the zone….basketball is a game of rhythm…

This too will also need changed…you have to continually adjust and make them think.

 

[christophero]

I was calling for a zone yesterday but what do i know?

 

[Fourteen44]

There he is!!!

 

[Fourteen44]

Don’t feel bad I said roach would be out long-term 😂

 

[K-oach Q]

Better then not at all?

Yes it is…but it doesn’t take twenty five minutes to see what’s happening in the game.

 

[sheyduke]

We are just an average team until we start getting more out of Lively and Whitehead.

Until we get more out of the rest of the team. You do realize ten players played for Purdue the first half and all ten scored?

 

[pisgah101]

Yes it is…but it doesn’t take twenty five minutes to see what’s happening in the game.

I don’t disagree but it’s all very new for Jon he’s going to learn and we’ll be better for it.. this games far from over

 

[K-oach Q]

You can stay in the zone too long also which I’m sure will happen….you have to change it up.

Our man is fine but then you have to change back…you disrupt the flow of the game.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Positive things....Roach is okay, and Proctor looks good.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Said it here before but I don't expect much from Lively this year. Going to be much like Mark Williams his first year.

 

[jamsession3]

I want to ask , everyone that said I was nit picking Grandison. What has he brought to the team against high competition?
I’d also let Reeves start the second to protect Lively down the stretch . Whitehead and Grandison need to step up .

Grandison was a late pick up for veteran leadership. If you followed U of I, his role was nothing like what is expected at Duke. He damn near played the 4 with Kofi in the lineup. He has not played the 2/3 in years! His voice is all you can ask for.

Lively needs the weightroom.

 

[jamsession3]

Young needs to figure out where the square is on the backboard. He's playing hard.

 

[christophero]

Is there really room in the NBA for a skinny 7 footer who can't shoot? Honest question.

 

[Duke1783]

Lively needs the weightroom.

I’m sure whichever NBA team drafts him has one

 

[jamsession3]

Roach got Proctor ready...

 

[Dad2ze]

There he is!!!

Yea yea yea lol

 

[Duke1783]

I think this is the part when someone is supposed to say “upside” or “potential”

 

[Dad2ze]

Lively needs the weightroom.

He needs a cafeteria pass with unlimited funds!

 

[sheyduke]

Who was saying something about Proctor? No Grandison was picked up because of his three point shooting and leadership. How has he shown Either?
