Yep. If Duke makes 3s they are unbeatable. But I could totally see them going 3-20 against a good team and getting bounced in the tourney.

I watched the entire game except for about 15 seconds to go start some pasta. These were the 15 seconds:
Like what the fuck is that? That’s a lottery pick caliber guy taking a wide open 3-pointer.

Ha. The new page made you miss my multiple posts drooling over that play. Knicks fans are gonna be suicidal if they miss out on Zion, KD and Kyrie.

I’m just missing things all day. Please don’t send him to Orlando or something useless like that.

Why would Zion retire so early?

Seems like Virginia is just trying to out-Duke Duke with all the annoying white guys.

Re: 2018-19 NCAA Basketball Season
When I saw it live, the shooter had a hitch when he caught the ball instead of going straight up with it, almost like he was simulating a rhythm dribble before going up.

Re: 2018-19 NCAA Basketball Season
That's what you do when youre completely wide open to get in rhythm off a marginal pass before the laws of the universe pause to allow a defensive end to swat your shit. First, unbelievable that Zion even runs to challenge that. Tons of guys quit on that rotation. Second the pass is the killer. If the guy can catch and shoot without catching the pass off his shoes he gets it off despite a great defensive effort. Zion has no clue it's a bad pass when he starts chasing. Love it.

I know, the guy couldn't keep it in bounds?

Re: 2018-19 NCAA Basketball Season
Sort of. Could see that coming from about 8:00. Absolutely clock watching and they couldn't even get the ball past halfcourt on several possessions. Much less Duke than Louisville. Just no calming presence at all.

Terps tried to blow it to Iowa last night and give Iowa a 3rd straight buzzer beater. Good win for the terps as they had not beaten an away ranked opponent in a very long time.

Re: 2018-19 NCAA Basketball Season
Zion literally blew a shoe out and bent his knee funny on first play of game . I don’t know how bad it is but they did take him bAck to locker room. Didn’t look bad but I am not a doctor.

Seems like every Carolina team the last 5 years can’t shoot that well but just kills teams on the offensive glass.

Zion out for game but if coach k brought him back in any case he should be fired for malpractice.

Re: 2018-19 NCAA Basketball Season
I’d be surprised if he’s back until the NCAA tournament at the earliest. Even it’s a low grade sprain, absolutely no reason for a future #1 pick to hurry back from a knee injury.

What’s the worst than can happen with a potential franchise player whose name has a z in it with a bad knee!?!?!?

Re: 2018-19 NCAA Basketball Season
Zion hurting his knee just 10 seconds into the game that Spike showed up to decked out in Knicks gear makes me think they really are cursed.
Re: 2018-19 NCAA Basketball Season
So think he'll sign with Nike after that shit?
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Re: 2018-19 NCAA Basketball Season
They've been doing that a lot longer than 5 years. Only recently that they haven't had those post killers. And Nike needs to go back to the r&d budget and find some different materials for that beast. The man is too strong for existing shoes. Crazy. I think he'll come back for tourney. Seems like a guy that would go but so many (perfectly reasonable) whispers in his ear so he will be hesitant and certainly won't sprint across court to challenge jumpers. They're not that much better and 6 games is tough. Really tough. Too tough for that knee to ignore those $$$. So Virginia will win the ACC title and tournament titles but I'll say sweet sixteen upset this time and Carolina carries another plaque.

Re: 2018-19 NCAA Basketball Season
I'm gonna lay a conspiracy theory on you (I TOLD YOU THERE WOULD BE TAKES): Duke doesn't bring him back, but will say he's good to go for tourney to maximize seeding - the game last night shows who they are with/without Zion. But he doesn't play again for the Blue Devils.

Re: 2018-19 NCAA Basketball Season
I wouldnt say thats who Duke is without Zion. Carolina-Duke isnt a fair barometer and thats the first game without him with no practice time or adjustments. Theyve got just enough time to get better and certainly theres a lot of incentive outside of Zion to show well.
