***DUKE VS SYRACUSE - ACC TOURNEY QUARTER-FINAL OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[dukiejay]

If there was ever a year where the player of the year was unanimous, it should be this one.
Zion is the best, everyone else is a distant second. Most amazing player I’ve ever seen.

I mean....it’s not even close.

 

[Mac9192]

Just give Zion the ball. We shouldn’t have a possession that he doesn’t touch it!

With Zion on the court, it’s like we have 2 extra guys on defense.
His freaking energy is off the chart!!!

 

[Laettner15]

HES FRIGGIN BACK!!!!

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

I'll be glad when Zion shakes the rust off!

 

[ASAPKrzyzewski]

Safe to say that Zion will be the #1 pick the NBA draft.

Does he have Nike Shox on his feet?

 

[Jnood]

Zion changes everything!!

 

[LONMUNU]

I’m pretty sure that Zion isn’t human.

 

[dukiejay]

I know Zion is amazing....but how about the energy he’s giving the rest of these guys? They’re feeding off him like crazy.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Well, I guess we can safely save Zion is back.

OFC

 

[bluedevilfan42]

Kids on Christmas morning probably aren’t as excited as we are watching Zion.

 

[K-oach Q]

Our defense is so much more amazing with Zion

 

[K-oach Q]

I know Zion is amazing....but how about the energy he’s giving the rest of these guys? They’re feeding off him like crazy.

It’s the intangible that can’t be measured that we where missing without him..and it’s a real thing.

I’ve felt like I was getting a present all day

 

[dukiejay]

Cam just needs to pull up there and shoot the floater. He’s convinced himself that he somehow always needs to get to the basket. He doesn’t have to.

 

[Kingbluedevil]

Zion is super man. These other players got to pick it up

 

[bluedevilfan42]

I’ve felt like I was getting a present all day

I know right!

 

[Dad2ze]

Maybe it’s been mentioned but WTH is up with Jack’s eye? His girl hit him?

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Come on slim reaper

 

[Mpm277]

I have to consistently remind myself that RJ did in fact break the freshman scoring record.

I have to consistently remind myself that Cam is supposedly NBA ready.

 

[dukiejay]

Digging deeper....we’re going to need to get something from Jack and Alex tomorrow night if we’re going to have a chance (assuming we hold on to this one).

 

[heelSince99]

I can't lie. He is probably the best college basketball player I've ever seen. With him the only way you all lose is if he fouls out. If K does not win a natty when he's got arguably one of the top 5 college basketball players of all time then that will be a massive fail. Damn that kid is good. My goodness.

Zion goes for 50 tomorrow

 

[dukesince91]

OAD, you better crank up the Zion Dunk Tracker!

 

[hallside]

Offense outside of Zion is shaky right now. But the defense is looking great! Zion is like a radiator out there with his energy. Everyone steps up a level with him in the lineup. Duke is back.

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

Zion might end up with 20 points by halftime

 

[Mpm277]

Could you imagine a senior Zion? Lol

 

[dukesince91]

Get loss with that back handed compliment.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

OAD, you better crank up the Zion Dunk Tracker!

I know, I know! Has he got 3 or 4?

OFC

It’s not that easy. You should know that. Both Duke and UNC have clearly had the ‘best’ team in the past and not won. If we had the luxury of playing a best-of-five or seven, then yeah, I’d probably agree. In one game, too many stupid things can happen.

 

[dbav]

It feels like we're up by more than we are, but we have to close out the half strong.

 

[dbav]

We should be up 15 at the half. Let's go fellas.

 

[dukesince91]

I know, I know! Has he got 3 or 4?

OFC

I think 3, but you could multiply by 2 as hard as he throws them down!

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Yeah, the energy and electricity makes it seem like we're up 25.

OFC

 

[dbav]

Reaper!

 

[Mac9192]

Could you imagine a senior Zion? Lol

But I would take Ipsy to Chucky Cheese every Saturday for a year if we could have him as a sophomore.

 

[dukiejay]

Big shot for Alex’s confidence.

We need to stop turning it over.

 

[Duke1783]

Cam you get things going anytime now

 

[dbav]

That was scary. Nice work by Zion not trying to finish that.

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

Cam seems to get out on control when he starts driving to the basket!
OFC

 

[Jnood]

How can cam be so bad sometimes and so good other times?
