Player Jalen Johnson

[rome8180]

Not getting a single FF out of 17-19 will eternally annoy me. Especially with the cancellation of the 2020 tournament and 2021 being the raging inferno that it is. Such a frustrating 5 years of Duke basketball, and we're looking at the longest FF drought of K's career.

It's hard for me to be too annoyed about '18 and '19, when we're talking about back to back Final Fours with just a few more points scored. 2017 was an absolute joke though. So frustrating.

The coaching in the E8 in both 18 and 19 left much to be desired. That makes it worse for me.

“Our team loves Jalen. I don’t. But our team does.”

Duke is 4-0 this season without Jalen Johnson, with a +46 point differential (+11.5 per game). They are 5-8 with Jalen Johnson, with a +32 point differential (+2.5 per game).

I think it's safe to conclude that this Duke team without Jalen Johnson is already one of the best college basketball teams in history, and only getting better.

He's still a piece of shit though. (Boeheim, not Johnson.)

For sure. I think that comment is totally inappropriate.

For sure. I think that comment is totally inappropriate.

Blaming Johnson for K not playing better players is such an old white man crony move.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Old rich white men blaming an upstanding black college student for their own bad decisions. Thanks, Obama.

Yeah, he basically said, "LOL, that guy sucked ass. Good luck in Croatia!"

Leave it to Jim Boeheim to get us all on the JJ train.

 

[rome8180]

I wonder if K has an agreement with his ACC buddies. "All right. I'm going to say the 'right' thing. And then you guys come out and say what I'm really thinking."

 

[Whitefolk]

Why is Jim Boeheim crashing his bus into Jalen? Oops I meant throwing him under the bus.

Jay Bilas is always right. If you don't believe it just ask him.

 

[aiw]

HBHH vs Bilas. Choose a side.

 

[rome8180]

Much as I hate HBHH, I'll choose anyone over Bilas.

 

[aiw]

Wait til you watch this game (if we win). Bilas is going on and on and on about possible appliance nicknames for Brakefield.
