This team will not win a championship. I wanted to believe that we could get better on D, but that just isn't going to happen with this group of players.If and when we run into a team in March that plays good hard D, we are going to catch an L.

Ginyard wouldn't have made a difference in that game last night, and there are talks about him red shirting because his leg is in fact much more serious ofa problem than originally expected.

Danny Green is a baller and played his %%# off last night. I wanted to kill Hansbrough when he took that 3 late in the second half. I thought that was one ofthe biggest possessions in the game and he pulled that %@+$. Ty has played like crap now in two straight ACC game. Deon Thompson is so soft too. Ed Davis needsmore playing time. We have basically the same team and our rebounding has dropped by 5 boards a game....

How Nova is still ranked is beyond me

How Duke is ahead of Wake is beyond me.

Duke is still #2 because of poll politics. You know it and I know it.

That's not being a **%* that's being smart. Austin outweigh him by a good 100 pound probably

And he got some inches on him.

 

[worldbeefreeg]

@%$* that, all y'all Carolina cats is %#++%@%

But on the real before you Duke boys get a little too gassed, they have a loss coming to them pretty soon when the Monroe and crew roll into town. It'stoo easy in the season, and while I don't think Carolina is going to win it right now, they are still the front runner in my mind. I mean 0-2 is as bad astart as possible but if you guys don't think this team's play will get better y'all delusional.

You cannot be serious.

I'm a fan of Greivis, but dude's head is WAY too big. He thinks he can get away with jacking up 20 shots a game, most of them the ugliest forced +*+@I've ever seen, and only making 5-7 shots... If I recall correctly, Eric Hayes was the one hitting big shots down the stretch Saturday.

Greivis has my respect though, dude can hoop. But taking shots at YOUR OWN fans? That's blasphemy...

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Duke will lose a few games in the ACC for sure , but Georgetown isn't a lock to beat them at all

I'm sure we have atleast 2-3 coming before March hits... and the thing about that is that its to be expected. UNC on the other hand, going all the wayback to the the postseason/off season thread G... You remember how those cats were talking about how nobody was seeing them, they were going to walk thier waythrough the ACC etc. I know I'm not the only one who remembers that G.

And I'm fairly certain we're good in terms of that Gtown game, I'm more concerned that we have to play both Wake and UNC twice... that can be 4L's right there. So I know what time it is Bro, I'm a realist fam.

I'm as serious as DLo at a klan meeting

but seriously....u take Greivis off the UMD squad, what's your record looking like? You gonna trust Gary's wack system and Milbourne/Hayes to lead thesquad? As much as Greivis is an *@#, he's the BEST talent you all have by far. I dunno if you can draw comparisons to Vasquez and John Gilchrist (teammentality wise), but there is no denying that he is the straw that stirs the drink.

 

[timcity2000]

wow... not a single SEC team ranked in the top 25. not sure that's ever happened before.

Was thinking the same thing and I like your picks. I'm rolling with Louisville and Texas. Can't wait...

 

[worldbeefreeg]

L'Ville is a joke, this team got was s close to be 1-2 last week. Notre Dame wins and I like Texas as well.

 

[wildkycat]

Frankengody will give Louisville the business tonight.

@ Wake rushing the floor.

 

[dacomeup]

I'll take Texas and an inconsistent Louisville team.

btw, 300 pages at about the mid-way point of the regular season is

. Best thread on NT.

 

[tmay407]

Give me Oklahoma at home over Texas. Texas will win that matchup in Austin, though.

Gary's "wack system"? You mean the flex offense? I don't know if that is a whack system but I'll give you the benefit ofthe doubt if you want.

Greivis our best talent? He's the best player we have RIGHT NOW, but not the best talent. That goes to Adrian Bowie in my opinion. I don't think NTwatches the Terps enough to legitimately say who is and who isn't a good player on the squad. Greivis isn't as good as you think. Name a strong partin his game. His ball handling is sub-par, he doesn't pass, and his shooting/defense is just OK. And as far as comparisons to Gilchrist, I'd muchrather have Gilchrist. The dude was one of the best players in the ACC before Gary began his little feud with with him.

With that said, I still like Greivis. Dude is a good player, and I can't deny that. He DOES carry this team. But you can't say he's leaps andbounds better than anybody else on the squad, that would just be disrespectful. I say Greivis drops 25+ against Miami Wednesday night.

So do I. And I hate them so much.

Lawson got exposed. Teague could stay in front and was just better all around. His ability to finish and drive is nice. Teams know how to attack now. You justneed to get back in transition and attack guys like Lawson. Handjob just didn't get the calls with all the flailing %!!#@%+@.

Can't wait for Wednesday. Allen some kind of bet?

 

[gobucksbc]

I'm thinking about putting some money on some games tonight. I'm planning on taking...

Texas at +4.5
Notre Dame at +6.5
Davidson at -11

Davidson plays Appy State...anyone know anything about them?

[craftsy21]

this thread is turning into one of "those" threads. if you guys could keep all the bickering and rivalry talk out of this thread, it'dreally be appreciated. we don't need this run over by a bunch of homers and lames just shouting out their teams and taking shots at others after 300 pagesof solid bball talk in here. find another one please.
