Video of the Duke Ending

Damn, there wasn't a Duke player within 20 feet. WTF.:shrug: He threw it right to him. Watch it again!!
said the same thing in a couple threads bert
i dont know if you watched the game but mcroberts threw it to "nobody" a couple times because paulas wasn't going where he was supposed to. Now it could be lottery pick Mcroberts or wasted talent Paulas. My gut and head tells me it is paulas. He should be benched, there has to be better players on duke than that scrub
Paulus is decent. He has his moments. I do wonder, several times...he broke all these New York records for QB and then chooses basketball...
Anyway, how does this dam game not go into OT???
I wish Coach Hitler would retire. Its total bullshit night in and night out. Its 5-8 crucial calls every game and crap like this. Give me a break.
I know there have been coaches that have gotten way more than they deserve. Perhaps Dean Smith...I am very biased, but sure..
But Coach K.'s legacy is a total joke to me. He's a good coach, but I'd say over 100 wins, if not more, are a total joke.
Tonight is par for the course and total 100% BS.

That might be the biggest bullshit I've ever seen in my life. How in the fuk is that justified?
I love the way espn is blaming Clemson. Yeah they could have played better in the last extra time seconds. But, that is just horse-shit.
I guess we can also blame the 1972 Americans. Dammit, USA, you should have been able to win that game against the POS Russians 4 times. You only won it 3 times, you suck.
Its impossible to beat cheaters, if the refs are against you. IMPOSSIBLE. I'd love to see Coach K die. Thats how bad I hate what he stands for. A powerful statement, but his whole life is that of a cheat. I have no respect whatsoever for that man....less than a man in my opinion.

did clemson ever have a lead in this game? i mean seriously fellas -- you guys are making this out to be like duke completely robbed clemson with a ski mask and crowbars.
did duke get the benefit of the clock? probably.
but clemson, unless im mistaken, never led for a single second of this game.
and they let duke go the length of the floor for a lay-in needing only a few secs.
clemson deserved the cover. but did they really deserve the chance for an outright win, esp considering the final sequence was only set up because of a duke gag with 0:12 left?

well said gman
I know where your coming from tdj, but you need to calm down. You are only going to shorten your life span getting that mad at duke and coach k.
LOL....GMan2....no offense, but get a clue.
Clemson ties the score with what should be 2.4 seconds left against DUKE....ya know, DUKE....
And then Duke is given 2 extra seconds.
Would they have won? Who knows?
But don't downplay what could have been overtime? Its a HELL of a lot easier to score the winning basket 94 feet away with 4.4 sec's as opposed to 2.4 sec's.
All I'm asking for is a fair game at that point. Don't go saying, well Clemson never led, so its ok if its tied and Duke gets a couple extra seconds to drive the length of the court...
They don't get a layup in 2.4 seconds. They get a jump shot. Let's see if they make it. If not, score is tied and 5 minutes left.
Rationalize all you want. Clemson got hosed. Duke gets a free pass almost every game.

get a clue? ive got more than clue.
this anti-duke stuff is trite.
clemson was fortunate to even have a chance near the end. it doesnt justify an extra second or two on the clock for duke.
but it was hardly robbery. they won a game they deserved to win.
99 times out of 100, mcroberts inbounds the ball, somebody goes to the line and splits the pair at worst and the game is over.
clemson got a break, then played horrible defense in the final 0:04.
they didnt deserve to win.
.... and im the furthest thing from a duke fan.
tdj-
yikes. i just read the other posts you made in this thread. you gotta calm the F down man.
just spewing vitriol from all angles. you gotta take care of the ol' ticker and alleviate the stress.
.... and youre only gonna be more pissed when carolina loses to duke in two weeks. :wall:

and out of the 1 time in a hundred that it doesnt happen that guy makes that shot maybe 40% of the time.
Clemson was given a gift and they blew it. You can't blame duke because the timekeeper didnt start the clock because he was probably in shock like the rest of the nation watching the game. You can't blame the refs for putting the time back on the clock that was left when the ball went through the net.
If you had clemson +7 or duke ml you wouldn't be saying a word about it and telling gman to get a clue and saying coach k is half of a man and saying you wish he was dead etc. etc. etc.
doubt you would even bother to post if clemson had missed the 3 pter and gotten rebound to score a 3 at the buzzer due to clock not starting. purnell did not have a problem with it. still ranting about duke being most over ranked team in country?
Don't rationalize cheating. Clemson "got a break"...
Wow, I guess Duke got no breaks during the game. No bad plays by Clemson.
Why should Duke automatically get to win b/c they made a horrible play. Somehow they deserve to win b/c they wouldn't have made that mistake 99% of the time.
I don't mind a rational argument, but don't say they deserve the game b/c they shouldn't have fuk'd up at the end.
I guess Michigan should have gotten more time on clock in '93 b/c 99% of time, Webber won't call that timeout.
Come on guys, put 2 sec's back on the clock in 1982. Fred Brown didn't mean to throw it to Worthy. G'town ball, down by 1, now with 4 seconds left. Lets see if they can score.
All I'm saying is Clemson got severely hosed and this crap happens every year for Duke. But at least they deserved to win b/c their fuk-ups don't count. Lets give Duke a do-over every time.
