Duke Bball Alumni

Duke’s best pro.

Of course this happens to our highest ceiling Duke guy.

Weird injury. How would a pro athlete miss 6 weeks for a sprained wrist?

 

[rome8180]

Maybe he's "opting out."

 

[rome8180]

The Magic and Pelicans both win. Zion nearly pulls a "Zion vs. Syracuse," but isn't quite perfect from the field. 11/12 for 33 points. His FG% is inching toward that 60% mark he usually hits.

I would think last night's Duke loss marks the end of the bad cycle. But can't shake the feeling that this Duke team just sucks and the whole season is a bad cycle.

This Duke team has no verve.

Zion is reaching the peak of his cycle, where he rehabs, starts out sucky, gradually improves, becomes the MVP for 3 weeks and then gets hurt again.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

If they stagger minutes properly, there should be plenty of time for their Zion death lineup to play in each game. Zion, Ingram, Murphy, Hawkins, McCollum.

On a different level from all the Duke sophomores this season.

 

[rome8180]

I see all the Duke Alumni teams are getting destroyed tonight. Here I thought the low point of the cycle happened with the Ark loss.

 

[rome8180]

To recap:

Duke has a bad road loss while losing their starting PG to injury
UNC goes on a 25-2 run vs FSU to erase a 14-point deficit
New Orleans loses as Coby White hangs 30 on them
Orlando's nine-game win streak is snapped in a blowout loss to the Nets
The Mavericks go on a 30-0 run to retake the lead vs the Thunder, but still lose despite Lively's 20 and 16
Bucks win (This is not Duke related; I just hate them)

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

On a different level from all the players on Duke this season.

 

[childress22]

TJ Power and his 138.3 ORtg beg to differ.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

I don’t understand what Simmons took offense to. I think he’s getting old.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Can no longer deny that the best player in Duke history is going to be a bust. Best case scenario is he gets traded to a team in NY, LA or Miami, where fat people are more likely to be shamed and ridiculed.

 

[torontoduke]

I like Z and care about his success just like anyone else here, but this is completely and solely on him.

People want to blame the organization for the bumps in his development and that is bullshit.

 

[aiw]

44 point loss due to fat

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Did any coach mold kids into defensive monsters like late stage Coach K did?

 

[rome8180]

Imagine what those two defensive studs could have accomplished if they were not held back by fat piece of human garbage Zion Williamson.

 

[rome8180]

At least Paolo is the chosen one. Career-altering injury probably incoming.
