Thank you jj for giving tyrese his flowers. Dude is an insane on the ball defender, and considering the amount of ridicule (some understandable, and some not) that he has received during his time at duke, I’m really happy to see him in his zone right now

Copper does not have to shoot 3's.

Don’t forget Tyrese

It’s great to see that defense, but I hope it continues to get better. Better better better better.

Hi JJ and Josh!

His best games of late have been against higher competition. I would like to see him attacking more on offense and worry less about running the team when he is in

He’s not a good basketball player

Start Isaiah Evans and this team is unbeatable, the opposing backcourt has to go crazy because nobody is scoring in the paint against Duke.

I am disappointed overall. With the talent they have, they should be more dominating. The defense is very good. The offense is poor. Cooper has underperformed. I blame the coaching.

Offense has to get better! Especially shooting

If kon keeps bricking he gonna loose his spot to Evans

Love your articles Steve! Keep up the great work.

Should duke go undefeated in acc play? Because the acc is not as good as it has been in past years. Only us and Clemson and Clemson just lost so we will be the only acc team in top 25

Let’s not bury the lead here. Cooper flag got a post touch in this game. And Maluach made a move from the elbow where he dribbled the ball 3 times (once between his legs) and got fouled on a little jump hook attempt. And he might be the best FT shooter on the team. This leads me to believe that passing him the ball in the post a few times a game might be a good option.

I'm as big a Duke fan as you can find.....but let's not kid ourselves.....that offensive performance was more about us than George Mason. Kon is either in a Jack White type slump or he just wasn't the shooter we thought he was....same goes for Gillis and Foster. For a team full of shooters we sure can't seem to make open three's. Isiah Evans excluded

Shooting 22% from three is abysmal. No way that can continue.

As long as he scores, that's all that matters.

Cooper will continue to struggle, teams know not to guard him at the 3 point line. His form changes depending on where he shoots from, it’s a glaring weakness that I don’t think he can fix this year but the emergence of Evans still makes the team dangerous.

Scheyer was not as good as a handler as Sion, and they won the natty anyways….

Personally would like to see proctor initiating the offense more. He shoots better off the dribble than a lot of the players and would allow Flagg and foster to attack more out of different sets. And kneupel to be more of a shooter. Duke is lucky they have this many that can initiate the offense. Kneupel runs the pick and roll well.

What will improve Dukes offense??? More movement, Holding and setting better screens and connecting, Malauch it's clear isn't an option but a lop on a screen and roll.. WHY ??? DUDE is 7 ' 2 when he catches the ball on top or perimeter he NEVER squares up 2 the basket or looks to the basket. That seems to be Deliberate in the offense. Not sure why . He can shoot jumpshots and has good ball handling skills to drive .

There are lots of ways to win a basketball game and Coop does what is necessary to win. Coop always draws a crowd yet despite having 2 or 3 guys around him all the time, he already has the highest scoring average on the team which is amazing since he is the youngest on the team. I don't know anyone you could put in his place that would make the team any better. I think y'all are worrying over nothing........~~~Peace~~~

This is where paying attention comes in handy man man isn’t getting subbed out early for doing something wrong if u go back n watch the games he’s been getting subbed out around the same time every game now Maliq has been going for longer stretches but man man isn’t leaving the game cus of one missed block out assignment if that was the case u could do that for the whole roster

POST HIM UP!

I told y’all before the season that the obsession with analytics is going to bite you guys in the rear end. Cooper should operate primarily driving to the basket and getting to his mid range. I don’t want to see any more of the off the dribble threes from him unless he is really feeling it stick to, four or five and shoot threes per game but everything else needs to be a one or two dribble pull up from mid range or getting all the way to the rim.

Reminds me of the “Save Kyrie’s Toe” video.

Coop was shooting 38% behind the arc both of his seasons at Montverde according to MaxPreps so it's safe to say he's just starting off this season a little colder than usual.

Btw it was Isaiah Evans Great Shooting that won the game for Duke against Auburn 💯 🔥🏀🔥 Cooper is not the only player on the team 😄

Sounds like a hater at the end

So pablo can do a podcase without saying "Pause"?

Hey I’m 14 starting my podcast on duke. And I love your stuff hopefully we can collab one day or something!!

Duke has a great chance to get alot respect in a Major Bowl .Hope they can stay together and get this done .For themselves Duke and loyal fans.

About time they used him as a lob threat consistently.

Incarnate WORD

Last year If Flip had 6pts & 8r we probably would have lost much less have won by 20pts great depth with this team

JJ is awesome.

I really appreciate your efforts! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

JJ is awesome baby

If coach is going to play Kamann 11-12 minutes maybe he should try force feeding him the ball early!! Run something for him that's not a lob and on defense go a little zone to keep him below the free throw line and make teams shoot over our length

JJ, I got the Duke + money when they went down like 15 like you said. Felt great

Out schedule will pay off big time come March. I can already see a difference in the team’s approach to end of games situations. They are starting to look more comfortable in those situations. But its going to be pivotal for this team to help kahman become more consistent in the post. We are going to need him in March. Other than that, GO DUKE!!!!! 😈

This was a big time win for Duke. They are showing not only can they win ugly, but they have the nerve and resilience to win under unfavorable circumstances (i.e., on the road, against an incredibly hot shooting team, Flagg in foul trouble with 10 minutes to go, etc.). Previous Duke teams would have easily folded, lose by 20. But this is the difference when you have a Championship caliber team. And the reason they are Championship worthy is because they have savvy veterans in addition to size. But here is the main takeaway: Duke is getting nearly everybody’s best game of the year. Seriously. It’s a major compliment, but it’s also that loud overhead warning with the flashing red lights we see in movies that Jon Scheyer isn’t fully taking seriously. How long is it going to take for us to be the team punching the other team in the mouth??? Why are we always getting punched first??? This was the first game Jon Scheyer addressed the horrible free throw shooting I vigilantly pointed out as a weakness during the exhibition games. Duke could be undefeated if we were a better FT shooting team. The FT’s in this game helped Duke not only mount a comeback, but slam the door on any late rally. It’s not a shocker that FT’s Made is the 4th Factor in Determining Basketball Winners. Josh Cox isn’t accurate on the defensive analysis in the second half. Was it better? Yes. Primarily with Sion James playing more aggressive. But you still had poor court awareness (related to switching) that allowed open 3PT shots. Everyone is to blame, but in this example just go to the 18th minute of the 2nd half when Flagg runs under the basket instead of guarding on the perimeter. The connectivity was off in this game. Louisville’s on the ball defense was also much more aggressive/smothering than our perimeter defense for much of the game. Many times we were setting up our offense farther away from the basket than they were. Given our size, this is unacceptable. We should always be imposing our will more than the other team’s. We have a freaking linebacker as a guard. But the point is Jon Scheyer needs to start bringing the fight (full force) rather than always finding himself in a fight. The last thing I want to mention is Kon Knueppel. Where is Kevin Connelly when you need him? Foster is finally taken out of the starting lineup, but I hope he continues to improve throughout the year. It’s nothing against Foster, you just can’t teach Sion James’ size into experience. Caleb Foster is a dime a dozen in the transfer portal, there aren’t many Sion James’s though. But Kon is struggling, choking really. I always said he needed to come off the bench. There is no reason he should be a cemented starter or 30+ minute player. Forward thinking is to build up Isaiah Evans. Remember I said Jon needs to play this guy higher in the rotation??? Over Foster, Gillis, and Harris? That guys get cold??? Auburn was my retribution. TOLD YOU. He’s got MJ and Kobe in him. His offensive efficiency should outweigh his defensive liabilities. But again, Jon needs to build Evans the way he built Mark Mitchell last season. Be more physically imposing, crash the boards, use your IQ and length to deter shots. And offensively, don’t make it all about you. If Jon can nurture this kid properly, he should be a starter by March. And his offensive potency can win you a championship given all the surrounding pieces. I’m not saying HE HAS TO be a starter. Kon has a lot of talent with a great skill set unique to his own. But right now the best thing that could happen to him is for him to sit the bench. He needs to find the edge he once had at the beginning of the season and during the summer. I mentioned he struggles against physicality and we are seeing that break into his confidence. So let him reflect on his performance, regain his edge and in turn allow Evans time to get comfortable and connected with his teammates in Jon Scheyer’s system. This is the best case scenario for March. Foster also needs to be more consistent and reliable. He offers a valuable skill set when he plays. He will improve and even thrive if he’s willing to accept his new role.

Like I said before Evans can play if you didn’t believe in this game, why are you recruiting same thing about that boy named Harris? I believe Harris is one of the best shooters on Dukes basketball team why the coach don’t wanna play I don’t understand, but I do understand one thing for you high school five star basketball players four star basketball players don’t go to a team like Duke you won’t play. He wanna recruit you, but he won’t play you as Isaiah Evans as the boy name Harris as Jamie roach, he will move on from you in a year or two from now and get more five stars you better off going to a team where you gonna play basketball showcase your town hopefully you go to the next level that’s the whole planthat’s your goal. Don’t go to Duke.

What do you guys think of Cooper? I’m mainly talking about he pushing off with his right arm a lot. He has done it a lot this year so far. Once we go into other people’s house it’s going to get called.
