esp Painter's team isnt doing shit anyways (2-16)

this turned out as bad as it couldve for both parties

1/24/2013 5:38:59 PM

if we had Painter you people would be bitching as soon as he bricked a 16 foot jumper

1/24/2013 5:40:59 PM

i never once complained about painter. I was sad to see him go because I knew we'd miss any capable depth in our front court

SEASON STARTS NOW

#lakers

Oh boy, players-only meeting. This will end well.

1/24/2013 9:33:58 PM

we had players only meetings in the Lowe era as well, didnt we? not sure they can be indicative of much really

1/24/2013 9:59:06 PM

What is this about a players only meeting?

1/24/2013 10:30:32 PM

Ok state winning. Back on the NIT bubble.

1/26/2013 2:58:15 PM

Devin Thomas becoming invisible again. Who could have predicted that?

1/26/2013 3:13:11 PM

might as well cancel the season if we lose today, it's just gonna be too painful to watch us miss the tournament as preseason #6 in the nation.


we have to fucking win for once

1/26/2013 4:19:02 PM

seriously dude, we're not missing the fucking tournament. chill out with that shit.

1/26/2013 4:23:17 PM

it's very much up in the air right now...

now that our luck rating has dropped to average, you guys are getting a much better idea of what level this team is really on

1/26/2013 4:43:55 PM

UNC is a luckier team than us, that doesn't bode well for tonight's game

1/26/2013 4:52:44 PM

^ I don't think you understand how the luck metric is used to evaluate teams. Because you're using it incorrectly in your post.

1/26/2013 5:29:21 PM

luckier teams win close games

1/26/2013 5:31:54 PM

so, how does one quantify luck..

1/26/2013 5:38:38 PM

Guys, why won't you listen to me, we are nothing better than a bubble team! It's not even debatable

1/26/2013 7:58:25 PM

@NCSUShit: RT @austin_johnson: Pomeroy is predicting a four-game losing streak for NC State starting on Tuesday.

1/27/2013 10:22:30 AM

Well, it is a tough streak. We best not lose 4, though. It will be another 3 games inside of 7 days.

1/27/2013 10:27:04 AM

Pomeroy predicted Duke by 10 also.

1/27/2013 10:30:44 AM

We need either a 25 point lead or another guy are 2. They looked dog shit tired with 3 mins to go.

1/27/2013 10:36:44 AM

Yeah, the depth issue hurt us. We ran a lot and played hellacious defense for a good portion of that game. I'd love to get more out of Lewis, maybe 10 minutes a game, but that's not really doable unless he can improve a lot. Same with Vandy, we need him to be a non-liability so we can rest Leslie and Howell for a bit.

Obviously didn't account not having Kelly and Curry.

Kelly is the greatest player in ACC history and Curry didn't play at all (if you listen to to the media)

1/27/2013 11:12:40 AM

"Red out" jersey's were awesome. Anybody know if they will be selling those replica shorts?

1/27/2013 11:33:03 AM

i don't usually pay much attention to uniform chatter, but i agree, i thought they were pretty good looking

1/27/2013 11:46:10 AM

Next. Time to forget this game. We can easily lose the next 3.

If UNC wasn't a completely crap team, would have been a different story last night. Beating UNC is not a big deal this year. Gotta focus on beating the good teams, not just the bad teams.

[Edited on January 27, 2013 at 11:52 AM. Reason : .]

1/27/2013 11:50:17 AM

They can put out a final score shirt. But the red on red jersey won't be up for a month.

The black jerseys took forever to get on gopack.com. Although they had them at the store inside the PNC. So the answer is no telling.

Would buy the red on red jersey.

1/27/2013 11:50:57 AM

UNC this season isn't a bad team. they were down by 28 at one point because THEY were playing like shit.

In the second half, they played to their potential, but we came out on top as the better team because we played good D, hit our free throws, had decent FG%. Yeah we had a small drought at one point, but what team doesn't?

1/27/2013 12:12:01 PM

lol at every post skokiaan has ever made

He is right. UNC is an average team. We still shit the bed and let them come back. We played 8 guys which is plenty.

Did any of our plays make the sc top 10?

1/27/2013 1:00:52 PM

shits the bed

wins the game

[Edited on January 27, 2013 at 1:02 PM. Reason : one of my favorite things UNC fans posted on FB last night, we 'blew the lead']

1/27/2013 1:01:39 PM

shit the bed is an understatement. it was a monumental meltdown. much worse than the wake forest meltdown. we gave up 60 in one fucking half. good thing the refs were the best we have EVER had and good thing we were playing unc and not an actual good team. As amazing as we played at times, we were three plays away from losing.

[Edited on January 27, 2013 at 1:10 PM. Reason : unc missed about 3 wide open layups and had a guy go 0-8. what a shit team]

1/27/2013 1:09:40 PM

one only has to look and see that's there's not a number beside UNC's name to know they're not a great team this year.

but given the history, and the fact that we'd lost 12 or 13 games in a row to them, and being that Roy was 19-1 against us coming in, anyone who says that beating them "is not a big deal" isn't a true wolfpack fan. Although it's obvious that skooiann and Earl aren't actually wolfpack fans, but just enjoy trolling this board.

[Edited on January 27, 2013 at 1:10 PM. Reason : ]

1/27/2013 1:09:48 PM

anyone whose satifsfied with beating the worst carolina team in a decade with our team of the century is not a fucking wolfpack fan.

1/27/2013 1:12:38 PM

what do you mean, "satisfied"? should we not be excited that we just beat roy for only the second time ever? go to hell, earl and Carolina.

agreed 100%

a win over UNC last night was much worse than a loss to Wake last week

1/27/2013 1:18:30 PM

the meltdown was not the result of the game. it was a bigger meltdown because it was quicker and more points.

[Edited on January 27, 2013 at 1:32 PM. Reason : wordtwista10]

1/27/2013 1:32:26 PM

i, too, am upset and disappointed about our win over UNC yesterday

1/27/2013 1:36:55 PM

1/27/2013 5:21:47 PM

if last night was a standard for meltdown... i hope we meltdown every game

1/27/2013 5:29:12 PM

Earl is right. Everything is terrible and bad and stuff.

1/27/2013 5:30:50 PM

When you go up by 28, you can afford a meltdown defensively and still come away with a win. When you let shitty teams like Wake Forest hang around all game, you can't.

1/27/2013 5:33:26 PM

3 guys with double-doubles against UNC (Zo, CJL and Howell)

It's a little disingenuous to say he's "predicting" we lose the next four.

Here are the percentages assigned to each game.

33%
44%
12%
47%

Do the math. The most likely scenario is not 0-4. Not even close.

1/27/2013 8:45:51 PM

He is suggesting that 0-4 is the most likely scenario however (17.5%)

For anyone curious, going 2-2 (with wins over Miami & Clemson) is more likely according to him than going 1-3 w/ a UVA or Duke win

1/27/2013 9:10:50 PM

^ huh? Did you mean "isn't" ?
