How many reasons did he have that they would sweep us last season, the season before, the season before that, ect...? LOL Plain and simple, that vacuum in dookie land is BROKE!
I love how the guy just decides to make up a fact if one is not there to try to drive his fantasy, like Jones turned down being a first round pick just cause he loved being a dukie so much? Reality check for the clown, the NBA is not interested in a guard that can't score.
Loved the bit about Carney and Hurt don't defend yet goes out of his way to share that Jones, Moore, and Goldwire do defend but don't score? So who scores while Jones, Moore, and Goldwire sleep on offense; who defends while Carney and Hurt sleep on defense?
News flash Matt Giles, Zion is not walking thru that door, nor is Bagley, Carter, Parker, Tatum, Barrett, Tatum, Reddish, Ochafor, or Winslow. In other words, there is not walking thru that door for duke this season that freshman than just steps on the court and dominates the score board day 1 as a freshman. This duke team does not have those big time featured scorers, they struggle to jump shoot, and now the 3pt line is backed up making a shot they would have struggled to make closer in even more difficult.
My point is duke lost a ton of impact players from last season, pretty much all their scoring and rebounding. Now that much has been frue for duke for the last several years but they were able to reload and bring in big time ranked freshman classes but what their real key was, they were always able to bring in that 1 or 2 guy(s) that were uber talents, guys that would be top 3-5 players in any class, guys that struck big time fear in opponents, yes that struck fear in us. That guy is in my view MIA from that duke class, good solid class for sure but it is a class full of solid players, not mega star talents.
Now duke did assume they had, concerned me that they may have had, and yet lost to other programs the real game changers. The long PG they lost to Frank Martin, the wing or stretch 4 they lost to jay Wright were match up night mares that I am glad we do not have to see dress out for those dukies. But the one guy they whiffed on that was that bad arse dominator, that would have been the key to making that class of frosh really scary, well they lost him to Washington, Stewart! ALL 3 were early on assumed to be dukies, all 3 passed, duke desperately needed all 3 to replace what they lost.
Now K will do all he can do, as usual, to hide the fact that his team is more hype than substance. He will schedule as many home games as he will be allowed to, he will try best he can to get solid teams before conference play to meet on "neutral ground" which typically is a duke friendly arena like MSG., oh did I just read that duke is in the Champions classic with kansas and where will that be you ask, MSG of course! LOL And who in the actual hell put a gun to K's head and forced him to not only have to play MSU but to have to play them at MSU? How much sound proofing did they have to add to his office in durham to keep the cursing from being heard all the way to the ACC offices in Greensboro? LOL
Now the media, with ESPN leading the way all love K and his dukies, they will prop them up for as long as they can, you know, don't look at the man behind the curtain Dorothy...Problem is this ain't Oz and the yellow brick roads round these parts run thru Chapel Hill and it will take a heck of a lot more than a bucket of water to take our Heels down! And that my friends IS a HORSE OF A DIFFERENT COLOR than the one Matt Giles wants to see no matter how many times he wants to click the heels of his Nike's together! LOL
Around these parts, Doroty is known to say there is no place like the DOME, there is no place like the DOME (the basketball Wizard from kansas has the building named after him)...
