Duke Basketball 2014-2015 Discussion thread

This will be a new team. We need to give it a chance to find its own way to lose.

Last year's team was unusual in that we lost a bunch of games but didn't have our usual epic blowout loss.

Maybe we can bring that tradition back this year.

I would rather them have a 1% chance of winning that road game than a 0% chance. If the first road game were against Southern Utah, they would have a 1% chance of winning, which is infinitely better than the 0% at Wisconsin.

 

[DrKlahn]

Duke's only criteria for its first road game should be ease of access from bench to locker room during the court storming.

What? I'd rather have a 100% chance of losing to a top-7 team than a 99% chance of losing to an unranked team.

If Wisconsin storms the court when they win that game, they should be banned from basketball.

I hope this Quinn Cooke guy can stay in front of his man.

 

[DurhamSon]

Great, now he thinks he'll be strong enough to go head first to the basket driving into three defenders on a regular basis (before getting his shot stuffed or turning it over)

 

[torontoduke]

Great news about Cook, hope he has a great summer. Sheed needs to put the work in as well (especially wrt strength conditioning).

 

[DukeCrow]

Is Cooke prepping for an R&B career?
(see: Gaye, Marvin and Cooke, Samuel)

 

[Slap the Floor]

At least Cook is putting the work in. I'll never hate on a player that busts his ass at practice and goes 110% in the off-season. Best of luck to Quinn Cook, here is to hoping he has a great senior season. It's a win-win for everyone. A great year for him could sneak him into the second round of the draft and it would probably mean we are a legit top 5 team and a true contender.

 

[torontoduke]

Excellent post, Slap the Floor. You have to respect the commitment to improvement.

 

[deepdarkblue]

I think Cook-e is trying to avoid a Josh Hairston senior year.

 

[rome8180]

Cookie is going to have a Monster senior year.

 

[physicsfactor]

Cookie is going to have a Monster senior year.

It's amazing the creativity that flows when you're stuck on a bus ride. Do you have any jokes about how dumb chickens are?

 

[rome8180]

Why hasn't there been a Martin Luther Chicken?

 

[DurhamSon]

Defensive overhaul based on analytics and roster/size/age limitations?
































Lol nope

 

[aiw]

Maybe his guess is wrong.

New style = old style, but with an adorable puppy running around.
