***DUKE VS ILLINOIS OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[VaBlueDevil33]

We just have no shooters

 

[denverexpat]

SO no 3pt threat, no inside presence, where do we get points?

 

[500HP_Devil]

Hurt going out is bad news

 

[K-oach Q]

I don’t even think losing Hurt is bad..he’s only as good as his three point shot.
If he’s making it he’s valuable on the floor...if not...not so much imo

 

[500HP_Devil]

I feel like Ice Cube is watching our team and saying Y'all ain't never got two things that match. Either y'all got Kool-aid, no sugar. Defenders but no shooters...

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Jalen forces a lot of things

 

[K-oach Q]

I’m still waiting to see any offensive movements or sets...four games in.

We are really good at isolation basketball.

James Harden would love us.

 

[Laettner15]

Moore should just stay on the bench

 

[jamsession3]

We need to hit the weight room.

 

[germantondevil]

Was that an assist???

 

[SWEc/o95]

Goldwire has to look to shoot. No one else can hit.

 

[crazyduke3]

Man we hard to watch this year. Hard to want to watch also.

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

We are playing 3 on 5 on offense with moore and goldwire in there together...neither are a threat at all...and we're already limited

 

[Mpm277]

We did a thing!

 

[denverexpat]

Ha! we know we are in trouble if our offense is Joey driving to the hoop! Good for him for trying though!

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Moore should just stay on the bench

Don't attack a player or some will call you out for it lol

New drinking game:

Drink every time you see a covid related cancellation at the bottom of the screen.

I don’t understand Goldwire. We won’t develop anything if he’s running the team for 30 minutes. He’s a great energy guys and to give guys a breather. But yeah...when he’s in the floor it’s like running offense with four.

Reminds me of the Tyler Thornton days.

 

[K-oach Q]

New drinking game:

Or a Duke assist

 

[denverexpat]

0-6 from 3...vs 5-7 from 3....thats the big difference

 

[germantondevil]

Remember when Duke used to dominate the transition Three? I miss those days

 

[PixelDevil]

Dakich probably creaming himself at us losing to yet another Big 10 School

 

[SWEc/o95]

We're just gonna leave that corner open all game I guess.

 

[germantondevil]

Ooohhh!! NBA move there!!!

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Nice block by Baker!

 

[Duke937]

We. Aren’t. Good.

Holy crap this isn’t fun. Barely setting up an offense. Forcing stuff up. Zero scorers on the floor with Hurt out.

 

[Mpm277]

JJ with a great block

 

[Duke937]

I need Pat Baldwin to commit like now and suit up at halftime. Even on one good ankle he’s the best shooter on the team.

 

[K-oach Q]

We are playing a lot quicker without Hurt on the floor.

 

[Duke1783]

If anyone other than JJ so much as thinks about testing the NBA waters then any hope I have for college basketball is done

 

[500HP_Devil]

0-7 from 3pt. Ouch

 

[K-oach Q]

Illinois almost has more pts at half than we can probably score for the entire game.

 

[denverexpat]

we certainly arent going to scare anyone this year.

 

[SWEc/o95]

If anyone other than JJ so much as thinks about testing the NBA waters then any hope I have for college basketball is done

Since the first game he has been pretty much non existent.

 

[Mpm277]

We're like 5 random dudes at the gym in a pickup game.

 

[LetsGoDuke83]

duke should opt out, this team is absolutely terrible

 

[youngman42]

Amazing how Duke used to have players who could shoot the three. Now? Hardly ever get good shooters.

 

[germantondevil]

I don’t understand how Duke either quit recruiting shooters or missed on shooters but good lord they don’t have an outside consistent threat on the bench. It’s unreal that this is where Duke basketball is now.

 

[sheyduke]

Look Johnson is gone except it. At this point I’m sitting here wondering has K not lost his marbles. It’s like, just keep playing I’ll sit here and watch you guys. Seriously we have no offense no defense and no scoring options.

 

[Ioliva]

I’m still waiting to see any offensive movements or sets...four games in.

We are really good at isolation basketball.

James Harden would love us.

it’s so crazy how coach k can’t see that problem . He’s down to go to a zone to fix the defense but change the offense, nah.
