Hello all, and welcome back to The Ultimate Truths!
Our non-rival but still despised little cousins are coming to town today, and with them comes Sweaty Gary and the second most irritating Venezuelan in the world. To be fair, The Ultimate Lord almost feels a warmness in His Magnaminous Heart for these guys at this point, as it is more fun to hate someone when they really deserve it. Now, having said that... let's crush these morons and send them back to their whining, rioting College Park "fans" post haste!
* Every Gary Williams echoes his drive and intensity... and his love of chicken wings, beer, and teenage girls!
* Elmore stealing Brad's "Outstanding!" line!
* Great first basket by Zoubek... and Singler should eat that little guy guarding him for lunch!
* Oh, wonderful block-with-no-foul by Zoubs on that guard! Two steps forward, big man!
* Love seeing Jon firing away to start; the only way to break out of a slump is to fire, fire some more! And he is hitting them too, early.
* Annnnnnnnddd... cue Gary screaming at his bench.
* K really yelled at them to slow it down there.
* Hm, Waner looking cute. But "More stronger?" Really? Oh well, it isn't as easy as it looks.
* Anyone catch that Stringer Bell is going to join the cast of The Office as Michael's nemesis?
* Kyle is one of our best rebounds, especially offensive, that we've had in a while.
* Nice cheers for Paulus as he comes in. The Ultimate Lord thinks that the Crazies embracing of Greg and support for him this year has been one of the great all-time Crazies/Player stories at Duke... and is remarkably different than the way, say, Maryland fans treat some of their guys.
* Really Hasheem? Smack talking Tyler? While The Ultimate Lord appreciates it, He-of-the-Constantly-Shocked-Look would eat you for breakfast.
* "I wouldn't want to be yanking on Hansborough?" Methinks thou doth protest too much, Mike.
* Interesting to see Neil flop on Zoubek's move to try to take advantage of the big guy tending to get called. Nice to see the refs not falling for it.
* Didn't Lance play a little away from the basket in high school?
* First three on the season? The Ultimate Lord thinks Mike is still daydreaming of yanking Tyler.
* Ahhhh... sorry that Greg didn't hook up with G on that alley-oop.
* "A verbose young man." Yeah that is one word for it.
* Gerald is so good at driving and then bringing the ball up from an awkward position and getting a shot off when he is off-balance and has guys hanging on him.
* Wow... Latta signed the bench with a sharpie? She had a lot of balls for a chick... and The Ultimate Lord is not totally sure that is hot. Then again, He isn't sure Ivory was that hot either.
* The in-Crazy camera blows; the Crazies look at their best when you see hundreds of them all going at once, not when you see one awkward looking girl with glasses waving her hands around.
* Love that the BEST record in the ACC @ Cameron since '99 is still a losing record, and that most teams have won, at best, 1 game there. Our House!
* Where did they get the idea of a turtle as a mascot? Couldn't they have at least made it one of those big, ugly snapping guys that will bite your toe off if you step on one down at the local swimming hole?
* Outside of Zoubek we have no size? Uh... Lance is 6'9, Plumlee is 6'10, Kyle is 6'8 or so... hell, even a few of our guards are in the 6'5/6'6 range... are we REALLY that small, or are we just really white and so they THINK we are that small?
* WHOA WHOA WHOA! Hold the phone! Who is the Chinese guy at the very end of the Maryland bench?
* Like that after hitting that 3, Kyle gave props to Zoubs for a real good screen.
* Ring ring. Ring ring. Rin...
"Hello?"
"Hello, Gerald Henderson?"
"Yes?"
"Hi Gerald, this is the NBA... do you have a minute to talk?"
* Love the Zoubek-to-Thomas, inside man to inside man pass; those usually pay off.
* Man, being an end-zone photographer at Cameron is a dangerous, dangerous job. Almost as bad as being a security guard at Comcast.
* The Ultimate Lord loves this team. This is the first time in what feels like a while that a Duke team doesn't self-identify as a 3 point shooting team, and we are SO much better for it.
* "His body language tells the story." Oh, is his body getting its ass whipped? Hey General Grievas... live by the emotion, die by the emotion.
* Nice to see Zoubek being used as the mismatch, rather than not used because it would be a mismatch.
* Damn ESPN, stealing The Ultimate Lord's point on emotion!
* Wow... holding a D1 team to 15 points at the HALF is ridiculous. The Ultimate Lord loves D more than O, which is why Shane will ALWAYS be The Ultimate Dukie.
* Ahhh and there is the timely foreclosure joke.
* Gary didn't TALK about anything at the half. Yell, maybe, but not talk.
* Like the players on the bench relaying the offensive play.
* Good to hear Coach Collins talking about keeping the intensity up... that is what we need. BURY them.
* So we are crapping on Maryland by THIRTY and they talk about Carolina being the most talented team. You know what? The Ultimate Lord is not entirely sure that is really true anymore.
* Interesting to see Jon give up the wide-open 3 for the pass to Nolan (who did hit his 3.) Is that a good thing?
* Ohhh, the Singler/Gerald lob... poor Maryland. OUCH, and followed by the "Everyone touch the ball!" play? Man.
* Wow... Gary can't even get mad. Wow.
* That Maryland girl looked simply shocked. Cute, but shocked.
* Would love to see Miles and EMail and Marty get some minutes.
* Up 41 and how do you maintain? "Look over at the bench." Too true, Lenny.
* Love to see David shoot and hit the 3; games like this are great to get some roleplayers some baskets, baskets that bring confidence and can really pay off at the right time later in the season.
* Nice! At 13 to go, in come Miles and Elliot!
* Hm, the floor still has the signatures on it? The Ultimate Lord loves that!
* Love to see K talking right to Miles in the huddle. A teacher is always teaching.
* The stage being bigger than he wants? Well, that sort of thing will go by the wayside with some actual game time, which is what a lot of fans have called for.
* Great pass by Greg to Lance inside through a pretty small gap.
* YES!! THE CHINESE GUY!!! Except that he is Korean.
* A 360 degree reach? Ehhh...
* Ohhh MILES! That was a GIMME alley-oop!
* 2nd time in two games that we have flubbed it bad when getting the ball with the shot clock almost expired.
* DEON Plumlee? What, did Miles just turn black?
* The Ultimate Lord is in love with our cute little Terp. She has a real cute, innocent face. Shame about all that red though.
* OLEK! With 8:36 to go?! Nice!
* Greg Pocious. Seriously, come on Mike. It's MARTY Pocious and GREG Zoubek! Get with it!
* "It's not over 'till it's over... Yogi never saw this game." Ouch, even the announce team is talking trash. Everyone gets to talk trash today! Well, everyone but Beavis Vasquez.
* Email is LONG. Love to see that. So many long defenders have tortured us over the years, it is nice to see one on our side.
* Marty P is just full of bad decisions. Has he hit a single 3 this year?
* Man, Email is ALWAYS looking to THROW it down. Aggressive. Hope he doesn't get hurt!
* Seeing the bench guys play a lot really helps you appreciate why they don't play a lot. Having said that, these sorts of minutes, in a real game, are great, and they will help get the sloppiness born of inexperience and nerves out of their systems.
* Wow, Duke has held 11 opponents under 60? Does that include this game?
* Check out the cheer for... er... the blond guy as he is coming in.
* Apparently his name is Steve Johnson. And with that, Duke goes THIRTEEN deep.
* Love the interactions between the starters and the bench. Hey, Crapolina! See that? It is called "chemistry."
* Think the Terp fans will be blaming this one on the refs? 2:1 they do.
* Oh, and Greivis? Nuestra Casa, bitch.
