RockPride Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 For my money, this is not just one rebuilding year out of 10. Theyve been bad for the past 3 years, and they will be bad for the next 3. They went to the final four 3 seasons ago (nice assessment of skill, if you ask me :thumb)...they had UConn on the ropes and choked...They were good both of the last two seasons...being ranked #1 at some point in time, winning the ACC both of those years....(again, another way to measure skill)...keep'em coming.

RockPride Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Man, I thought being a Steeler fan on this board was tough but being a Duke fan is much worse!!!!!!!!!! I find it fun....especially when the IDIOTS post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockPride Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 This loss should put Duke in the top 5 in the polls. If they keep up the losing streak they could be number 1 soon. What's funny is that you have gone from being perceived as a sports savvy poster, to the COMPLETE opposite.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockPride Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 He shot the ball good but he always has some costly turnovers. He had two early yesterday. He had 2 against Virginia...1 against BC.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockPride Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Duke does not have the heart of normal Duke teams. I think it is there now...I think they slept through some games early...they have leadership now. They do not have that one player who will win because he can't stand to lose. This can be looked at two different ways...they certainly don't have that player that can will them wins i.e.....Laettner, Hill, Brand, Williams (Jason)..or Redick....but their three leaders do fight with every fiber now... Paulus is not J.J. Hopefully Scheyer can end up close.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockPride Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 ^ he's a great shooter, and seems to be more athletic at this level... Though you are right, there likely won't be another...that's why he's my favorite of ALL TIME. Did he play for Wichita State? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRC4LIFE Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'm with you RP, I like your support for the Blue Devils. They are 5 points away from being 21-2(not to bad on a down year huh?). Scheyer... he does resemble J.J. alot... but if he can just work on getting his shot off quicker then he could be REALLY good. I think Singler is going to be special next year... you haters better get at Duke soon because I don't think you will have that chance for along time after this season.

RockPride Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 ^ Scheyer is scared right now...that's one thing JJ wasn't from the minute he tied his shoe laces...he would pull from anywhere, Krzyzewski said Scheyer has that unlimited range...now he needs to get some nerve.

I want more people to etch this stat in their memory...with this stat in mind, this Duke team will beat some teams that you haters couldn't fathom them beating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRC4LIFE Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I agree... the last few games he hasn't been looking for his shot hardily at all and Duke needs him to to be competitive with the really good teams... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont believe Scheyer is nearly as strong as Redick was. He has a long ways to go in that department. You can compare Paulus to Bobby Hurley, McRoberts to Laettner, Henderson to Hill, Scheyer to JJ all you want, they simply arent that calibur of players.
