So giving credit is “praising”?

“Acknowledge an accomplishment, as in They really should give her credit for the work she's done . [Late 1700s] The phrase is sometimes amplified to give credit where credit is due , meaning the acknowledgment should be to the person who deserves it.”

Versus

“Praise: express warm approval or admiration of.”

Wow, your idiocy knows no bounds.
Did you tak a shot and coach K? Did you praise Roy? Yes and yes. Don’t backtrack. Own it. You made a ridiculous post out of frustration and got called on it and are trying to deflect. Just like the other clown itt that’s taken shots all season.

Lol, still too stupid to see how poor your choice of “praise” is, even when literally typed in front of you. Ignorance is a mofo. You’ve been served. Well done lol!

And let’s be clear: there’s no frustration in that post. Lack of experience and development crushed this team in crunch time. Ouch, there goes your 3rd grade theory.

My post was very reasonable I thought so I’m still waiting on the part where I singled out a player and how you came up with Javin out of five other players not named Zion, Barrett, Reddish or Jones?

Javin is only player that improved, but he went from awful to serviceable... he still makes some unreal bad plays and is not a leader, but he has improved

Tough to have visible improvements that the fans can see on television when the first game of the season was a blow out against the #2 team in the country and all of our players looked like future NBA starters. Really difficult to go up and up and up from that point.

“The lack of play from everyone else” that was your quote itt. Meaning you didn’t think Jav played well today when he was great all game. It’s seriously lije you don’t watch the games or rememver what you post.

Giving credit to a coach that lost the previous round? Come on man, talk about 3rd grade level theory! Are you this dense IRL?

Teams adjusted to duke, k did not adjust. We ran the same iso offense all year shooting far too many 3s. You can’t iso vs good D, that happened today and -10 turnovers was the result

maybe, although we did have a lot of success with the iso against good D. Beat Texas Tech and Virginia with it. And yeah, we lost today but by one point where we had the game in hand and could have tied it at the free throw line. I agree that the offense wasn't as crisp, the ball movement was lacking, and we defaulted to iso and 3's too much BUT we did have a lot of success with it and easily could be going to the Final Four playing that way had we made better entry passes (those were not iso plays by the way) or defended Goins' three better, or knocked down free throws (that we got as a result of some iso plays)

I feel bad for Zion and Barrett they did all they could as well as Jones.

The lack of play from everyone else or confidence in them from the staff did not help this season.
This was my original post right? See where I said “ this season!”
Notice how I said “lack of play” or “ confidence in THEM from the staff “

So I’m still curious as to how you came up with Javin or call me a band wagon fan? Soon as you can answer that I’ll leave this subject alone?

What is “ itt”

Did you ever feel like coAching had anything to do with our big wins or crazy talent from Zion, RJ, and a few big moments from tre and cam?

Message to all you arguing posters. Why dont you all agree to meet in a certain location, have a beer or two, talk it over and if you still want to argue just get boxing gloves and fight it out.

Because when you call out other posters on here be sure to get it right. Especially when you call them band wagon fans because you simply didnt agree with their post.

“Look at me everyone, till next season” you’re acting like a little ***** cause we lost. Go cheer on Roy poser. Leave already or you’re going to have to make a new thread to announce it.

Praise versus give credit versus cheer....oh how diverse and inconsistent your vocabulary gets lol. I’m just enjoying watching you get upset because you’re getting owned all over the board, per the norm :p

Hahaaa, you called me a millennial. Almost as accurate as your usage of praise. Well done, Gimp, well done yet again!

Hey dbav: keep fighting fellas! Hahaaa

I'm not sure why you attached yourself to my nuts, but you really seem to like holding on.

Hey, you're right. The positivity didn't get us all the way. Congrats. I've never seen someone so excited that the team they support lost so they could prove that point, haha.

Social, you were right. I'm happy it makes you feel good and I am grateful that I'm not you. :)

This from a fan base who went home already and the only joy you have left is coming to a Duke board. Wow
