looks like rodney has claimed #0

4/18/2012 8:33:20 PM

0 is not a number hate that.

does anyone know how much season tickets cost for nosebleed seats? gopack doesn't have anything up about them yet. I'm sure they'll go up in price. I was looking to buy 2-4 seats for next season. Also, if anyone knows the price on lowers that would be good too.

4/18/2012 8:43:05 PM

Much cheaper, more fun to just take a class, get an id, drop the class profit.

4/18/2012 8:50:16 PM

^^i bought them last year. i think it was $220.5 200-230. doesn't include Reynolds games

441 for 2 season tickets in the upper corner.

the sideline uppers ~$320+

The goal for this season should be to execute in a game a give-and-go triple alley oop, with lorenzo to purvis to leslie to lorenzo for the slam.

Howell will be involved in that trifecta. For a big-man, his passing ability is above average.

4/18/2012 10:51:45 PM

jesus christ, this team is going to be so talented in the starting 5 that we're forgetting about richard howell!

jesus christ you guys.

4/18/2012 11:11:47 PM

I wonder if Painter's grandma died within the next few days would/could he come back?

Half kidding.

4/18/2012 11:13:29 PM

nah, you have to be able to jump to do an alley oop

and scott wood. he should claim another record this year.

4/18/2012 11:19:48 PM

no sir, i never forget about scott wood.

dude is a godsend that you idiots don't appreciate nearly enough.

I love me some Scott Wood, but there's a reason why guys like Steve Kerr and Steve Novak come off the bench.

4/18/2012 11:35:09 PM

imho, wood is the key to this team's success. if he's the same then we're still just a 2nd weekend team, if he's fsu wood aka jj redick then we are a final four team that should probably win the whole thing.

4/18/2012 11:40:31 PM

Fuck DBR. What a condescending article about Leslie's return. They are all sycophantic when they are much better than us but now a season where we should be more highly rated going in and they can't handle it? Look, I liked Painter but with Leslie back is it a death blow to lose him really?

The part that bothered me most was the end basically saying "it's so cute when a team like Georgia Tech, State or Wake is actually good."

i'm holding out hope that when K retires (gotta be soon right? ) they'll have trouble replacing their hall of fame coach and the entire fanbase implodes when they start sucking, ha.

4/19/2012 7:49:30 AM

The blow of losing Painter is greatly lessened with Leslie coming back. We just need TDT/Vandy to adequately step up and be a little productive. We only really need them to defend/rebound/provide 5 fouls...but if they could develop a little bit of an offensive game (like TDT hitting open shots), that would be the icing on the cake.

When Howell and Leslie are in the game, we're going to play inside-out. When they get in foul trouble or need to take a breather, it will be on our guards to produce. Our back-up bigs don't need to have post-up games...just do the things big men are suppose to.

I didn't think it was that bad.

4/19/2012 8:11:43 AM

It wasn't like reading IC or anything but the whole tone just didn't sit well with me, especially the end. And knowing the whole trend of them "defending" us when we were bad and now the seeming "now hold on here, you aren't better than us" vibe I've been getting.

I mean it is a Duke site so I guess I can't complain much by I've always thought of it as pretty unbiased.

[Edited on April 19, 2012 at 8:19 AM. Reason : X]

Easy to be unbiased when you are head and shoulders above us. Now that we're looking a little scary, the bias comes out.

And get your panties out of a wad. We all know how much you hate Duke.

4/19/2012 9:20:49 AM

Let's just not turn into the 07-08 cluster fuck. Plenty of teams (like all of FSU, Syracuse, UNC, Indiana last year) can play productively with a deep roster of skilled offensive players.

But this will be a huge test for Gott and his statement year (obvi). Can he perform the difficult task of managing 4 players that would start for nearly any team in the country, and find quality playing time for his 3 promising recruits?

4/19/2012 9:35:37 AM

This team is nothing like that team.

That team had a bunch of retreads at point guard.

There wasnt one ACC caliber point guard on that fucking roster.

We are slightly overhyped right now, we were a bubble team this year for god's sake.

But we're definitely a top 25 team next year.

4/19/2012 10:07:05 AM

that dbr article didn't even mention tyler harris bring on the team...

I thought the DBR article was a little patronizing, but I didn't have any issue with it. Seemed positively enthusiastic to me. Well, I did have one issue with the vague pronoun in this excerpt:

Quote :

"They’re bringing in a terrific class – Rodney Purvis, Tyler Lewis and TJ Warren are all going to be really good. We’ve heard good things about him and he’s going to be a real asset, but we’re not sure he can fill the void Painter left."

Who is "he"? There is no one on our team that I can imagine they could be referring to. Can't be Vandy or TDT, because there's no way DBR heard good things about them. Can't be TJ, because he doesn't really play the 4/5.

4/19/2012 10:43:02 AM

Who writes those articles...high school students?

Quote :

"Vandenberg missed all but seven games with a shoulder injury"

He was redshirted dumbass.

Quote :

"Even with a serious flaw on the roster (and they may come up with another inside recruit)"

Does Warren or Harris ring a bell?

Quote :

"We want the ACC to be great from top to bottom, but we really want State, Wake, Maryland and Georgia Tech to do well"

Way to pick the 3 traditional ACC schools who did shitty last year and lump us in with them.

4/19/2012 11:43:25 AM

^^ noticed that as well, had to have been a typo

4/19/2012 11:48:56 AM

Probably talking about Warren

4/19/2012 11:50:42 AM

0 Purvis
12 Lewis
24 Warren
36 Jefferson? Bojo?

But college players can't wear 36. So emilio will have to pick a different number.

^I didn't know about that rule until about a year ago. NBA players can do it though.

4/20/2012 11:22:52 AM

the rule on numbers is so the referees can hold up 2 hands only when calling fouls, etc...it has to be a number from 0 to 5 for either number, meaning the highest is 55
