Favorite THR Quotes....

Don't over think it and don't put Allen, the Academic AA in the same breath as someone like McCants. Allen had two arguable incidents he'd like to have back that were in the heat of the game. Not saying that we condone them, but if he wasn't at Duke, it wouldn't have been so completely blown out of proportion the way that it was and that is a fact.
Guy is a freaking warrior on the court. Off the court, he's a nice kid, a GREAT student, and a guy that all of the other guys love. I'm pretty sure they'd take him.
I am one of those who disagree. I didn't say anything because I just wasn't in the mood to fight with him and his followers. That way of thinking has grown tiresome. There are several others that fell the same way, but just stay away from THR because of having to deal with those fights. There are better boards on our site to discuss basketball.
Bingo. Honestly, Chris Paul got less coverage when he punched Julius Hodge in the nuts.
Good post heel , good to know there are some level headed fans still out there .
Wow. Just....wow. He believes every word of that too....that's the scariest part.
@DSouthr on why Team USA has had three close games in a row:
There is a correlation in my opinion, the coach that has embraced the one & done in college embraces a similar all star out talent the opposition method with team USA. I think the question becomes just how much does the experienced team need to be out talented before they can be competitive? How far does the talent gap have to be?
He must not have watched Team USA play since 1992. The roster we now have is typical of literally every team we have had since then.

that may be the stupidest thing he has ever posted. Did K tell Lebron, Russ, Curry etc. not to show up? that he preferred guys like Paul George, Barnes and Klay because they have no experience? Like what the hell is he even implying here? What a moron. Trying to make a correlation there is so far fetched it's not even funny.
The supremely ironic part in all of this is that Coach K was actually the one behind having players make a commitment to Team USA beyond a single Olympic cycle in order to be considered for a roster spot so that the team could have more continuity. Such facts are lost upon fools like DSouthr.
I am so glad that Dsouthr returned from his self imposed ban so we could read his insightful opinions. He has got to be an embarrassment to many on that board. I wonder if he and Gary-7 and TPFKAPFS could be brothers and not know it.
I actually just read the entire post, not just the part you selected. And to quote dumb and dumber, "just when I thought you couldn't be any dumber, you go and do something like this."
in his self imposed week long ban he must have taken a few extra delusion pills. Apparently K does not want to schedule tough exhibitions for the USA team much like he doesn't at Duke and that's one of the reasons for the team USA struggle! Can't make this up.

Posted by dadika in the thread over at THR "UNC will win the ACC"
"Hope so, but ACC is really talented at the top. Duke, Clemson, UVA, Louisville, UNC, Maryland, FSU, Cuse all in some top 25 lists.
ACC could send 10 to the NCAA's this year."
Some UNC fans don't even know that Maryland is no longer part of the ACC.

Ha haa, hilarious. And Duke is in some top 25 lists, huh? You don't say.....lol.

I saw that. Nothing but classic. How can you make that mistake. I wonder if they know that the Carolina Gamecocks are no longer in the ACC. OFC
Word has leaked out that kennedy meeks is feeling kind of spry and could be very dangerous when he's playing above the rim. Sounds like he's going to be a better kennedy meeks as a senior than kennedy meeks was as a freshman. How scary is that gonna be. Stay out of his way Duke bigs. He's gonna hurt some people when he's feeling spy above that rim. Also I see that big luke maye may be filling it up big time from the stretch position. That's all we need is a 6'8" mobile monster knocking in 25 footers. And we thought berry and jackson were gonna give us nightmares. OFC
Maryland did play at the Dean Dome last season. Must have felt like a conference game to some... still, an embarrassing oversight, though.
Sky, I want to see the new and improved Air Meeks. I remember a couple of years ago when they had a video of him doing a 'windmill' dunk in practice...and it was pretty generous to call it such a thing.
Meeks can dunk, and he can get his hand above the rim, but equating that to playing above the rim...that's a stretch. And if I'm not mistaken, that playing above the rim stuff is coming from the coaching mafia, intel master himself...Gary-7. I'll have to see it myself before I believe it.
OFC
Since Meeks would have kept Oakor on the bench it is hard to believe that he could get any better but who could doubt Gary or his insiders
@IDUNK4HEELS on how he would fix Team USA:
Who would I take out well that it very simple answer and it would be Kevin Garnett. Look at Garnett scoring and rebounding in the last couple of games and you will see the same stats I see.
He must have been watching replays of the 2000 Olympic games in Sydney, because that was the last time Garnett was on Team USA.

^ No f****** way somebody said Kevin Garnett. My god...
If you were Unc fan wouldn't you want it to still be 2000 before the Carolina Way was exposed as a sham
UNC has a much classier environment than Duke
Maryland plays in the ACC
Coach K needs to bench KG
Meeks is playing above the rim
Roy doesn't recruit OADS
Recruits come to UNC partly beacuse of the academic excellence

Now I realize, a guy like gary gets heat for what he says at times but I listen to what gary brings because he has ties in the AAU circles and there are times you get more accurate information there than you are going to get anywhere else and at times you can get a look that Roy doesn't even get.

LOL! Dammn, Mark, was just coming here to post this. Hilarious. Then right below this DSouthr links an article that agrees, these close games are all because of K and the coaching. Ha haaa.

Wow. Sweet Jesus.... THR is it's own little cult.
How can anyone "get a look that Roy doesn't even get" when everybody knows Roy is outworking everybody out there?!?!
The basketball acumen over at THR is truly laughable. In one of the Olympic basketball threads, they were complaining about the lack of cohesion the men's team plays with in comparison to the women. Yep, because men's basketball and women's basketball are exactly alike. Also, the women's team sent their top dogs, the men did not. Additionally, K had what, a week tops to put some stuff together before the exhibition schedule?
I also lol'ed at the assertion that Roy would do better--he and Uncle Larry had their chance and failed miserably. Lastly, on another unc board, I read that Dean Smith pioneered the stretch 4, and the concept of hiring former players as coaches. Brilliant.

So I just ventured over there and noticed the thread about blaming the coaching staff (read: coach K) for the lackluster play of the USA team so I decided to take a quick glance at an earlier thread regarding the USA team and here are some quotes:
so which is it? Anyone (including a basketball and a monkey) can coach all 3 of those teams to gold OR it's K's fault that team USA (who still hasn't lost) is only barely beating teams?

If those guys want to take what gary says as good info, they do so at their own peril. The guy knows nothing and if he does have sources, maybe he should even be questioning them. The UNC site has great sources, working for them, that is where those folks should be focusing on. It starts with Clint Jackson.Courtesy of @DSouthr:

I wonder what Clint honestly thinks of THR, Gary in particular. Would be interesting to hear his opinion.
Clint would welcome his info if it was legit. There is a good reason Clint has not enlisted gary for info. Unlike on our premium side of things, we have a half dozen "regular" folks who have really good info and Clint stands behind them and their info.
Indeed, and THR shouted down @Coach325 when he tried to share some knowledge with them. Very telling that Gary has more credibility than someone who actually knows what he's talking about.
The second of the quotes you posted was my favorite. If I were able to post, it would simply have said "Larry Brown says hi".
Gary's the biggest troll on THR: he's never right and yet people still listen to him. I would ban him just so that he doesn't get peoples' hopes up over there
He has a trance on them. Also he tells them what they want to hear. I wonder what he does for a living. Maybe he works with a carnival as the shell game man. OFC
