Last year's team will, I think, be my all time least favorite team. No intensity, no chemistry, no balls.

I almost appreciate last year for how awesome it made this year.

Can you imagine how bad we would've been if Jabari, Hood, and Sulaimon were around for our tournament run this year?

Jabari and Okafor post defense together, yuck.

I don't know, players get better. Obviously I wouldn't change a thing about this year's team but Rodney and Jabari would've been insanely good this year. Shot selection and defense would've improved tremendously. I actually think Rodney in particular would've been a great fit on this team in the Matt Jones role of 3 and D.

Going to Cameron in an hour or so.

Even Gottlieb is ripping on the complaints about the physical nature of the game.

His take home point: Tyus/Grayson knocked down the shots.

As well as UW getting burned on the same play repeatedly (Tyus on the high screen)

Gingers ruin everything.

Hahaha I think he was having a small seizure.

 

[deepdarkblue]

Looks like he's at a bar mitzvah.

A couple understated adjustments in the season

1) Amile stepping down from the starting lineup and basically taking a reduced role to help with spacing
2) We scrapped as heavily reliance on Jah but also on our 3s and really became a driving team. It led to a dip in stats for Quinn and even Tyus a little but allowed us to run with Justise's hot hand and obviously Grayson saved the best for last. Teams keyed in on taking away Quinn and Jah but basically opened it up for everybody else and K took full advantage.

Ugh. This couldn't have been any other QB?

The celebration at Cameron today is on GoDuke if any of you want to watch.

 

[StopThePumpFakesShav]

Need to read that tweet in context.

So Quinn will play the role of Boatright and Tyus the role of Shabazz?

Yes, DukeCrow.

Watched it in Cameron. Pretty great.

 

[rome8180]

So...I still can't fully believe it.

I keep remembering and getting a little surge of happiness.
