Without Williams occasional blocks they sure seem to be easy to score on.........every game I watch......come tourney time this has to hurt somewhere down the road......
Is it just me or does Duke suck defensively???

they forced 21 turnovers on the road. that's not too shabby. where they are lacking is on the defensive boards. alot of that is the stubborness of the coach to play boykin, johnson or boatneg in order to rest his frontcourt players. their second main flaw in the game is the lack of a good 6'6'' or 6'7'' wing player to hit the boards and play defense against a quick power forward. i was hoping boykin would have developed into that role but it look like 6'4'' nelson has to be that power forward for extended minutes and that is hurting them on defense. nonetheless 20-1 and 9-0 in the conference and 8-0 vs ranked teams while playing the second toughest schedule is pretty good.
I wonder how they will do against UCONN. If rudy gay shows up he will easily move against Duke weak forwards. AND Coach K trys to double team him he will leave Boone wide open over a smaller Willams.
If they try to double team from the top they better not bring Reddick because he only gets cheap steals against garbage posts that dont handle the ball. He cant trap for the life of him. Uconn can hit the outside J if they leave it open to.
Dont mean to be suckiing his c@#k or anything but Rudy Gay was picked to be Player of the Year. Dont think he is anywhere close to reddick or morrison this year but Duke wont stop Uconn when they meet in the tourney. I feel real good about getting Uconn at 8 to 1 to win it all at beginning of the season. What do you guys think?

won a small wager with NC and the points but it was closer than I like it to be.
Duke gets big leads but then sees them evaporate within minutes.
Should be games to win on with Duke before tourney time.
No way Duke wins it all this year. Lucky to get to final four.
Thing I like about Duke is you know your going to get their best effort every game. Dont see Coach K sit down all five starters like NC did last night, just to chew them out.
