Guys...

I'm feeling a little bit of the meltdown

1/15/2011 5:53:48 PM

^ My meltdowns stopped over a year ago. It's just comical for me now


LOL "They have shot it well" as an airball flies over teh rim

Good hustle by CJL

1/15/2011 5:55:16 PM

everytime i look at the florida state logo at midcourt i just think "ahhhhh, i got bacon on my face"

back to back wide open 3 pointers

we're just putting together a tape for tracy smith's "i can play pf in the nba" stock now

1/15/2011 5:56:02 PM

at least some of the remaining ice outside is melting

Yep, it's a lot more watchable when you stop giving a shit

Last game was the death throes of any expectations

1/15/2011 5:56:31 PM

I don't know why they are still shooting threes early in the shot clock, but I mean fuck it

1/15/2011 5:56:40 PM

The way we play defense does not produce steals. Need to take more risks and help more

1/15/2011 5:57:04 PM

^^^i stopped having expectations 10 years ago

^that led to some wideopen dunks for FSU today

Why not?

I mean it's not like they're forcing them.

If you have 10 ft to the nearest defender and it's not a close game, you're an asshole if you don't take it.

1/15/2011 5:57:39 PM

^^Helping too much is what gets most of the teams we play their wide ass open baskets

Honestly, same here.

About year 8 for Herb, I became numb. Didn't like the Sid hire, but I at least got a little excitement back...until I saw our lack of attention to defense and lack of motion on offense

1/15/2011 5:58:55 PM

^^^^ that's why I said "fuck it."

[Edited on January 15, 2011 at 5:59 PM. Reason : They make everything]

I'm in crisis right now...

We're always gonna suck

This anxiety is too much

Javi at the 2.

I like Javi much better at the 2.

He sucks ass at shooting, but at least you have 2 decent ballhandlers, but don't give Javi as many opportunities to throw it away

1/15/2011 6:01:29 PM

Javi is our 2nd best 3-point shooter and a good jump shooter overall

don't confuse shooting open jumpers in rhythm with his famous 35 foot prayers as the shot clock expires

1/15/2011 6:02:51 PM

hold on

florida state has an injury and their team still can win games? what

1/15/2011 6:02:57 PM

The thing with Javi is that he's either on fire or can't throw it in the ocean.

He either swishes shots or it falls 3 ft. short.

Don't know what the stats are, but Jave has never scared many defenses with his ability to shoot. If he's 2nd on our team, it has more to do with the rest of our team can't shoot very well, IMO

[Edited on January 15, 2011 at 6:04 PM. Reason : and as I type, javi throws up an off balanced fadeaway 3 point airball ]

1/15/2011 6:04:23 PM

That was a retarded play by pittsburgh

A lol missed kick

1/15/2011 6:05:09 PM

smith has 0 rebounds

what the fuck

1/15/2011 6:05:21 PM

^^^I don't know if statistically he's 2nd on our team, I just know when he gets open looks in rhythm he can tickle the twine, but people often forget that since the bad shots stand out so much more

1/15/2011 6:05:55 PM

FSU had to shoot like 75% in the 2nd half.

It's obvious Lowe stressed defensive intensity at halftime, and the team responded

1/15/2011 6:07:21 PM

anyone still think we make the NCAA tournament?

hope to see a lot better effort against Duke next week.

1/15/2011 6:07:32 PM

javi IS our 2nd best shooter but that aint saying a lot

No

We'll get destroyed

(Although in typical NC State fashion, it would not surprise me one bit to see us win)

[Edited on January 15, 2011 at 6:10 PM. Reason : ]

1/15/2011 6:08:40 PM

we shouldn't be allowed to make the acc tournament

1/15/2011 6:09:05 PM

duke has been playing like shit lately

theyre either going to come out pissed and pound us wisconsin-style or it'll be another duke game where we're ahead at halftime

[Edited on January 15, 2011 at 6:10 PM. Reason : ]

1/15/2011 6:10:02 PM

Not sure any of our PG's can stand up to thier defense...Nolan Smith will abuse them.

If we shouldn't make the ACC tourney, I guess Wake should just end their season today

1/15/2011 6:12:02 PM

One big advantage Harrow has over Javi is getting to the line. We don't get enough easy points.

We can have the best half court offense in the country and lose the game because we don't get easy points.

The same goes for defense -- we can force a low shooting percentage and still lose because we give up putbacks or don't get fast break points off of that.

FSU got too many layups. They were much tougher inside

1/15/2011 6:12:30 PM

We were -7 dogs so we really only lost by 6.

1/15/2011 6:13:10 PM

this was a tough game to watch.

and i thought it would be closer.

1/15/2011 6:19:32 PM

yeah win or loss, i was at least hoping for the FSU letdown after the Duke win

then they came out on fire in the 2nd half, our guys got frustrated, and we just couldnt make it a manageable game from then on

1/15/2011 6:20:39 PM

what does marsellus wallace look like?

1/15/2011 6:23:14 PM

DOES HE LOOK LIKE A BITCH

1/15/2011 6:26:02 PM

I'm sick of people using the "I just don't care anymore" excuse in order to try to protect Lowe from deserved criticism.

You act like there are literally no ambitious mid major coaches who want a shot in the ACC and we have to let him stay around because either you're really dumb enough to think we can't do better or because you're the same kind of fan who wanted to keep Amato around because you have some weird fixation on protecting alums who suck as coaches.

1/15/2011 6:27:08 PM

oh shit

HOOPS MALONE is pissed

1/15/2011 6:32:16 PM

Name some of these ambitious mid major coaches who would realistically like to compete and recruit against UNC and Duke.

1/15/2011 6:32:46 PM

lol the old nobody wants to come here excuse. Fowler isn't AD anymore silly.

1/15/2011 6:35:36 PM

Hope these ambitious young coaches can stand our shitty fanbase

Sendek couldn't, so he quit like a bitch

1/15/2011 6:35:43 PM

I gave up on this season with about 2 minutes left to go in the BC game, so watching the game today was just funny. We are not good at any aspect of the game and our team looks like they don't give a shit. The lack of effort is what kills me the most. I would rather see the scrubs play at least they would play with heart

"I would rather see the scrubs play at least they would play with heart"

Does CJL not give it 110% while he's in the game? Did the players in the last couple minutes today not play full court defense, even with the game out of hand?

"heart" is just another lame ass excuse to blame losses on

1/15/2011 6:38:58 PM

we need to find a new picture. that one's getting old.

With this sort of rationale, we might as well just drop down to DII. Can't compete for the National Championship every year with Duke, might as well suck shit.
