Duke and Heels ACC tourney

Arizona turning on NBA Jam mode wtf

Man, the Kyrie injury fucked Duke twice, go figure. Feel bad for Smith but he got his. And he played like shit today, thanks for that. Singler, see ya. I respect what he's done but he's never been a 'great' player to me. Obviously, because if he had been he would have gone pro at some point. He may contribute on a team at the NBA level but he'll never be more than a 7th-8th man. Nice, long college career though.

Hope Dawkins and Plumlee stay. I think Miles might be able to make a 'leap' next year, and obviously having the #1 prospect in the country coming in will work. No one is shedding any tears for Duke, nor should they. Just another missed opportunity, but when the other team has the best player on the court there's not much you can do. Seed doesn't mean shit then.

I'll always remember this season for what it could have been, without the injury. 2002 was different. That team had all the talent and experience, and coasted on it's achievements. They nearly got a miracle against Indiana to escape, but didn't deserve it. This team wasn't really a national title defense. It lost too much. Scheyer of course is a given, but Thomas and Zoubek were greatly missed too. In a way 2011 Duke could have been better, had Irving been able to integrate into the offense. But it wasn't meant to be.

 

I didn't watch the game but when I heard that Duke had lost I assumed it was Singler not coming up big again. WRONG. I don't think he will be anything other than a average sub in the NBA. I was surprised/disappointed by Nolan's performance. AWFUL time to have a bad shooting day. It happens. Time to keep your fingers crossed and hope there isn't a wave of early departures. I have "heard" that Henson, Marshall and Barnes may leave. Marshall and Henson have NO BUSINESS leaving. Henson needs about 20-30lbs or he'll get killed. Marshall, at this point is a border line 1st rounder

 

I'll summarize:

Duke got their fvrkn asses handed to them.

 

Good summary. Perhaps four people might read it.

 

Then my job is done.
