As many of you know I am a Duke fan however, I am in no way a homer and have said since day one that they are not a top tier team. Getting blitzed by Miami early on proves just that.

Maybe they can grit it out, but its not looking good right now.

No 3pt = No win for Duke

I feel like its last year again, on a losing streak to teams Duke should not be losing to. I'm glad it is now rather than ACC tourney/ncaa tourney time, hopefully Duke can get it tourned around. It is however, very tough to watch such a big struggle to get anything done offensively and defensively.

I somewhat agree with you windy. Except last year they were terrible from beginning to end. This year the peaked early and looking to flat line late.

down 7 with 3:35

Well I know they aren't as bad as last year, but they are derailing to again lose to crappy teams.

Having no big man bites you in the end. As you alluded to, nobody can live and die by the three pointer night in and night out even if your starting five includes JJ Redick, Steve Kerr, Mark Price and Robert Horry all in their primes. I'm not surprised at all, but like you, I've been calling it all year. I'd love to know the resident Duke genius, Tnfan07, take. I'm sure it will be very realistic

I know many of you will find this hard to believe but, Nelson missed a pair of free throws.

I'd give anything if we just had one more season of Cherokee Parks. At least he'd being doing something down low.

Mike, this is just for you:

After much thought, I've decided asking for Cherokee Parks might be a little greedy. Instead, I'm hoping we can somehow reinstate Tamon Domzalski for the tourney run.
