Duke guys.. you think you're on upset alert for saturday. NC State is a good team, and that's a tough place to play at.. Plus I heard you lost Kelly to an injury. Oh no doubt. We will probably lose. Kelly is the most important player on the team. Not the best, but the most important. If he is out awhile we are in trouble. Annual injury that hurts our NC chances.... Sigh.... Ehh, I wouldn't say you probably lose. Still a good chance you win, imo.. NC State, although they are still a good team, have been pretty disappointing this year. How is Kelly more important than let's say Plumlee?

He is a 6'11" guy that can shoot 3s as good as any guard we have, except Curry. When he steps out to the 3 point line it draws the other teams 4 out with him, and 4s are usually key to helping stop the drive to the basket. It opens up driving lanes for our guards. Which can then lead to easy baskets or kickouts to shooters. All of that can still happen obviously, but Kelly helps a lot. The other teams 4 wont be out as far guarding Hariston or Jefferson at the 3 point lime I know that.

In the couple games I've seen Duke play this year Seth Curry and Suliamon were near automatic from 3.

Well Duke, looks like we're the only two undefeated teams left.

Didnt see the first half because of work, but the 2nd half and the final score was about how I thought it would be. We need Kelly back and hopefully Curry isnt hurt bad.

Duke plays Miami Wednesday night. This is a game we will miss Kelly. Miami will likely pound us on the boards. Their frontcourt is great even with Reggie Johnson out.

Like I said.... Duke is very average without Kelly. He does so much for our offense.
Need to beat the Twerps on Saturday. Wont be able to watch it though...

that was just a terrible game yesterday. i know ryan kelly is important on the team, but a guy like mason plumlee is the most important player on the team when its all said and done. and yet they seem to struggle without kelly. however, once hes back in the mix, this is still a national title contender team
the goal is still the same, just get a #1 seed. rather lose to rank teams than teams that are unranked

Got to watch the first half of the Duke Maryland game even though I was at Myrtle Beach. We looked a ton better. Gotta still find a way to win without Kelly. The guards are gonna have to play great like yesterday and Plumlee needs to get his defense together. Its been awful for awhile now...
