  1. Not surprised. Everyone is running the same ISO dribble ball bullshit. It's the way the elite recruits want to play because that's NBA ball. IMO the ticket to consistent success in this environment is to forget about the elite recruits. Let someone else buy them. Focus on good recruits who buy into a system, probably don't have legit NBA hopes, and want to maximize their NIL earnings knowing that a future in the NBA is probably not in the cards. Gobble up as many of those guys as you can and play team ball.
  2. Somewhat? LOL To be fair, I think any QB worth drafting has somewhat of a big ego but you have to find a way to walk the tightrope between confident and cocky. Confidence is good. Cocky will get you exposed.
  3. Good chance the Giants aren't high on Sanders. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of NFL talent evaluators aren't nearly as high on Shedeur as the media hype beasts. If his name was Shedeur Johnson instead of Shedeur Sanders I'm not sure he'd be a 1st rounder.
  4. Not exactly. Shula simply didn't change how he helped the OL. He very consistently adjusted for struggling protection by keeping in additional blockers and continued to run the same slow developing downfield routes. Wade Phillips countered this with blue dog blitzing where if the guy you're assigned to cover stays in to block, you blitz to negate the extra blocker so that you still create one on one opportunities for your pass rushers. Shula was seemingly oblivious to the reality that he could also counter pressure by dialing up quicker developing routes.
  5. He's really unfairly maligned because of that game. He was a serviceable RT who just could not handle elite speed rushers one on one. The Falcons did us a massive favor denying us a perfect regular season in exposing that reality. Unfortunately, Rivera and Shula must have just through that Vic Beasley absolutely eating Remmers' lunch was a fluke and that he'd surely be able to handle Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware. That game was probably 70% about Wade Phillips taking Rivera and Shula to school and the majority of the remaining 30% was the refs absolutely refusing to throw any flags on the numerous blatant targeting hits by the Broncos.
  6. Jack up threes, drive and flail and try to get to the FT line. That's basically the whole sport now.
  7. Well, to be fair, outside of a handful of seasons we've generally sucked at the OL anyway so when you suck it's pretty dumb to return your starting lineup. We just finally had a decent OL so there's no pressing need for change.
  8. Hell no. 1-12 vs. Quad 1 teams. Why do you want to see this team go to the tourney and lose by a dozen to somebody like Marquette in the 1st round? I'll pass.
  9. This is Carolina basketball. Lubin missed the front end, Withers idiotically committed a lane violation, and Hubert drew up an idiotic last second play. It's basically David Tepper's Panthers on the hardwood. LOL
  10. You need good coaching to get smart players. The lane violation was incredibly moronic but that last second play was equally moronic. When you put a guy on the court who isn't a shooter and isn't a passer with 2.5 seconds when you need a three to tie you're SCREAMING to the opposing team that this guy is a SCREENER. It's his only logical role in that situation. There isn't time for a rebound and kickout. He's a screener, period. Your opponent KNOWS this. Now you're playing with only four players and they're going to try to force you to inbound to the one guy on the court you don't want to get the ball and guess what? Yeah, Hubert looked like a fuging clown.
  11. Why is Lubin even in the game there? There's 2.5 seconds to go and you need a three to tie. You need an inbounder and four shooters. You damn near get a five second violation and have to pass to Lubin which was EXACTLY what they were trying to make you do since you were dumb enough to have him in the floor and... fug, this guy just can't fuging coach basketball.
  12. AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I turn the game back on to see THAT! What an idiotic way to blow a game!
  13. Evero better retool his defensive system then because he primarily plays a two high shell.
  14. Hell, I love Hubert. He was one of my earliest favorite players and I've never heard anyone say a bad word about the guy. But that doesn't mean he can coach. I love the guy, he just shouldn't be the HC of UNC basketball. That's all. It ain't personal for me.
  15. We are going to miss the tourney in two of the last three seasons and we fuging EXTENDED him. LOLOLOL The last time we did that? Yeah, that was the year Doherty got fired.
  16. They need to do what's best for them. If they're not first round picks they need to transfer and get away from this dumpster fire.
  17. If Jackson doesn't enter the draft I'd fully expect him to transfer. He was a better player the day he stepped on campus than he is now. He regressed a lot this year. He needs to GTFO away from Hubert Davis.
  18. If Powell and Jackson are first round picks after this poo show that will be a gigantic flashing billboard that Hubert can't coach his way out of a wet paper bag. Imagine having two first rounders on a team and you can't beat anyone worth a poo.
  19. I turned it off. I'm not watching anymore of this poo. Maybe I'll tune back in in 2029 when we can afford to fire Hubert. Between Hubert, Tepper, and the always mercurial Heels football in about to just hang it up with team sports fandom. I have too much other poo going on to watch my teams suck dick.
  20. We're gonna get blown out by a Flagg-less duke team. LOLOLOL We can't afford to buy Hubert's contract out right now but you gotta fire the AD. Then we can fire Hubert after a couple more years of flailing and try to reset.
  21. Where was the foul? They just walk duke to the line over and over. I think they're tripling us up at the FT line so far.
  22. Cadeau hit a three and that's the only non-layup or dunk that I can remember is actually hitting. Surely to God the law of averages will kick in at some point.
  23. One of the most idiotic contract extensions of all-time. The guy's seat should've been getting warm and they gave him a big extension then we were so fuging trash they had to wait a couple of months for us to string together a few wins against garbage competition to actually publicly announce it. If that extension hadn't been inked back in December Hubert might be coaching for his job tonight instead we've tied an anchor around the program's throat and now we have to act like Hubert is doing great.
  24. duke has flailed their way to three Cadeau fouls. I'm not sure he's actually fouled yet. LOL
  25. We are fuging terrible. Lots of effort just not much skill. Just lose this game leave us out of the tourney and let me move on to the summer of no man's land for sports
