I'm doing great, since having a little one, and the health issues of my parents, it really out things in perspective. I was slightly aggravated during the game but once it went off, I was like well it ain't the first and it wont be the last, and there is more season ahead.

Duke’s Normal Starting 5 Injury-Free. Jones, Reddish, Barrett, Williamson, and DeLaurier/Bolden all injury-free

To clarify: Tre looks very tired, but is "healthy" enough to play. Zion may be "healthy" enough to play, but will he be 100% of what he was pre-ShoeGate? Cam might be a little ginger after that hard spill he took last night.
.
I'm afraid Healthy may have to be defined as 100%, and well rested, basically in perfect condition. That is rarely the case for any team heading into March.

I’m good. These feel like exhibition games without Zion because I know he will be back. Coach might as well put a minutes cap on RJ and Tre for the next two games. 28-30 minutes. More of everyone else except Jack White. Run some plays for Ques and Alex. Let Joey get about 15-20 minutes. Then be ready for UNC and the tournaments

Like I said in another thread, I’m slightly annoyed because I think we’re the best team in the conference. This group deserves that regular season title. It’s not that big of a deal though because if we get the natty, nothing else really matters.

With Zion being out its giving others a chance to step up and build some confidence. I really feel that AOC could be big down the stretch if he will get enough minutes. Reddish is starting to really show more confidence and being aggressive, if he will quit bouncing the ball off of his feet. I can deal with AOC missing some assignments on defense if he is knocking down those 3s because that opens up the floor for our slashers to go to work then.

I have mixed feelings because I (we) need to see Zion back on the floor with his brothers. I know we are winding down to the end of this season and I want to see them play together and be happy one last time.
I (and you all should too) feel so happy to have watched this great bunch of kids for the only season we will get to see them together.
This has been an exciting season and one that I will never forget, because I know we will never see a team like this again.
Every player on the floor going to each other and slapping five, good play or bad, is something that you just do not see, and Zion, nuff said.
Enjoy these kids folks, cause they have brought us a lot of joy this year, and I so hope they can finish it off with #6, how great would that be!
I will be crushed if we don't win it all, but I also know they gave me a lot of pleasure this season.
Keep the faith and remember, win or lose, "IT'S GONNA BE OK"!
Go Duke!

My game plan for Saturday would be to start Jack White and let him take every shot behind the 3 point line. Everyone put up a hundred and pick how many shots it will take to make one and winner take all.

Let’s say he gets off one shot per possession and the other team uses their full 30 I would safely say he doesn’t hit one

Hmmm my 18 month old daughter told me to **** off after the Va Tech game I think. Maybe I’m doing it wrong?

You have to establish dominance early. Challenge her to a knife fight. First to draw blood wins. (Hint: hold knife in your dominant hand. Have a fist full of sand in the other. Throw sand in her eyes and then strike)

It’s weird to me that K always notes that everyone is tired. I can recall him saying it periodically in previous seasons (when we’ve had a long week) but not at this rate, or even close to it. Win or lose “I’m proud of my team but we’re tired.” — I know we’ve battled a lot of flu but I hate that this is the narrative of our season.

My game plan for Saturday would be to start Jack White and let him take every shot behind the 3 point line. Everyone put up a hundred and pick how many shots it will take to make one and winner take all.

I’m all about a good wager but what happens to our money if he doesn’t make anything? We’re not throwing Benjamins down the drain, our defense will need to hold the opposition to 0 points for 40 minutes. Maybe longer, this could go into some serious OT.

I will be when Zion is back. This day to day stuff is killing me.[/QUOTE

I've been thinking the same thing. I know he's coming back but it's going to be a great relief to see him on the court and make that first block or dunk. I know it may even best if he waits for testing unc cheater game but would love to see him tune up on senior night vs. WF . Having team opportunity to play in Cameron one last time. He needs that experience. OFC
