***DUKE VS MIAMI OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***
- Thread starter krzyzewskiville
- Start date
Duke playing with urgency has to play this hard every game because everyone marks their calendar for Duke
He has played like we thought he would bring to the table
Yup but I'm very curious about that lineup to start second half. I need to see it again
So if Duke pulls this out does Capel still get to be the head coach for a couple of more weeks?
I can't remember a first half which felt more disheartening. And I can't remember a second half that felt so cathartic.
If the team can buy into the defensive side, it won't matter the lineup. That lineup gives good length and athleticism on D, but "right now", offensively, it's not great. But a good Tatum, Amile hitting layups, Frank driving, Matt hitting shots turns it into a phenomenal lineup. But Luke still needs big minutes and Grayson does as well. Harry is still not there yet. But almost.
Either way, that second half lineup may not be something moving forward, but it may have inspired this team's season the rest of the way.
This team is going to give me a heart attack at 31
A happy youngman means a great Duke season. Maybe this team finishes strong the rest of the way.
Funny how a lot of people flip flopped on here from the first half. Never give up on these boys. Maybe now showing a glimpse of fight.
Great to have you back. It wasn't the same without you for that 30 minutes.
And yet he's still giving more effort than anyone did in the first half
Craziest tale of two halves. Not sure I've ever seen a game like this before. Glad they finally found some heart, passion and defense.
It's pretty clear Giles is just not close to 100%. And, I think he's out of position at the 5. Bolden is much better suited there.
Giles needs to be at the 4 as a PF. I can't imagine an NBA team taking him in the top 10-15. In that instance, he'd be best served, imo, to stay a year and build himself up and become 100%. In which case he would have a great shot at a top 5 pick.

I would love to be able to point to this half in April. Could Miami be a catalyst to another great run?
You can see it all year. He's got no lift. He can't change direction. He's on skates. I hate it for him.
The team flip-flopped, too.
