Brandon Costner might be the worst basketball player ever.

2/3/2008 12:55:07 PM

Pull Costner - put in Harris or Smith. Both those cats play their nuts off and at least play D.

Javi - I'm digging this kid. Not a superb half by any stretch, but you can tell he's getting his bitch on lately and not playing as tentatively as before. He's going to be the shit before he gets out of here - mark it.

Fells (no homo)

Hickson already have 7 (8?) boards.

Grant - meh

Ben - drink a 40 during halftime and get yo shit in gear son. We need him to be passing and doing his thing if Costner is mailing in the season.

it certainly doesn't help that they virtually never manage to actually get an open shot



but even when they do, they still miss

2/3/2008 12:58:26 PM

^javi won't be the shit if he doesn't learn how to hit a open3. I'm not asking him to hit shit with guys in his face.....but when nobody is within 10 feet of you, if you can't put that in..damn

2/3/2008 12:59:03 PM

Most of costner's and javi's shots have been open. They are daring javi to make one, and costner has the mismatch against a big.


I'd guess that there are at least a dozen guys on this board who can hit >50% of the 3s that Javi has seen.

ACC is jam-packed

"The thing about the ACC this year is that there are alot of good teams and no margin for error at all"

Whe he SHOULD have said was:

"The thing about the ACC this year is that there are alot of goodbad teams and no margin for error at allthere is just alot of bad basketball"

2/3/2008 1:01:58 PM

There is no fucking excuse for the way we keep getting outrebounded by smaller teams.

2/3/2008 1:03:59 PM

atleast turnovers are down......*snicker*

2/3/2008 1:04:17 PM

3 points (2-11)

2/3/2008 1:04:35 PM

Double, triple screens for fells. He is option A.

2/3/2008 1:08:50 PM

What's with all the flopping today?

Did Sid decide to start teaching that after the Duke game?

[Edited on February 3, 2008 at 1:11 PM. Reason : 3 on Fells, hits the bench...]

2/3/2008 1:09:07 PM

technical for that flop

2/3/2008 1:11:47 PM

I'm sorry....and I know we had some bad stretches of offense under Herb Sendek...

But our offense this whole season is one of the worst I've seen of any team (not just NC State), in the history of the ACC. It is just pathetic. I can't even get mad or frustrated anymore because I expect it. Fucking pitiful.

2/3/2008 1:12:37 PM

^
i think our fans at RBC think the same....no love for the team...wake's geting a easy pasage

2/3/2008 1:14:38 PM

this is just boring and sad

2/3/2008 1:16:00 PM

Defense

2/3/2008 1:16:13 PM

Javi's form on that one looked MUCH better than usual

and what do you know, it went in

2/3/2008 1:16:27 PM

finally, javi

2/3/2008 1:16:34 PM

we need to get fergie in there

2/3/2008 1:16:35 PM

great play Javi

and I agree about our offense. That was the biggest knock on Sendek, we couldnt score enough points, so we bring in Sidney with his NBA style offense and we still cant score

2/3/2008 1:16:43 PM

javi........

....with the 3?

2/3/2008 1:16:51 PM

Javi !!

2/3/2008 1:16:58 PM

we can't get stops after we score......all season we haven't been able to get stops after we score

2/3/2008 1:17:19 PM

I'm glad he's getting his game together, I've been rooting for the kid all season

2/3/2008 1:17:33 PM

When we score, our defense softens up and gives up an easy basket. When our defense is shutting them down, we can't score.

2/3/2008 1:18:05 PM

what sucks for us State fans is that we're right here beside Duke and UNC. They average around 85 pts per game. How many other teams in the NATION avg that many?? I'd venture a guess to less than 5. We just have two of them right downt he road from us

2/3/2008 1:18:53 PM

good point but that does not mean anything....we need to step up our game!

2/3/2008 1:20:48 PM

BULLSHIT, Costner didn't fucking touch him

2/3/2008 1:20:58 PM

that was a bad call

2/3/2008 1:21:18 PM

bullshit foul on Costner

2/3/2008 1:21:29 PM

hahahahaha, wtf? gained advantage by contact?? there was no contact, the motherfucker just fell over

2/3/2008 1:21:33 PM

and another

3 on mccauley

There are 23 right now averaging 80+, and scoring average is useless as a marker of team quality--the highest-scoring teams are usually not the best teams in the country. In '05, UNC became the only team ever to win the title while leading the country in scoring.

COSNER

2/3/2008 1:23:20 PM

costner just looks really anxious. He needs to slow down a lot

2/3/2008 1:23:21 PM

cozner

2/3/2008 1:23:42 PM

JEEPERS

OB ON US?

2/3/2008 1:24:04 PM

lol, that wake bitch was laughing at the call

2/3/2008 1:24:07 PM

what is the deal with the refs?

I hate blaming shit on the refs every game, but some of these calls are blatantly wrong

2/3/2008 1:24:11 PM

Our offense would be fine if costner had played like he did last year.

He was the reason we were doing well at the end of last year because he was a huge mismatch for the other team's 4. That opened everything up.

[Edited on February 3, 2008 at 1:25 PM. Reason : and atsur to hit that pick and pop instead of javi bricking it]

2/3/2008 1:24:20 PM

ref

2/3/2008 1:24:26 PM

Holy shit Costner.

2/3/2008 1:24:33 PM

Costner is just.....i mean damn, wtf......

2/3/2008 1:25:10 PM

is that the third airball by costner???

2/3/2008 1:25:17 PM

it was a good foul on costner at least

and he hustled to get back down the court to D up

2/3/2008 1:25:19 PM

I dont think that was a goaltend

and that was a bullshit foul call on Fells

these refs are terrible (on both ends)

2/3/2008 1:26:23 PM

wtf did fells just do

2/3/2008 1:26:25 PM

i am getting angry by this officiating
