DBR Podcast #253 - Stats Game, Countdown: The Movie!

[blazindw]

The Duke Basketball season is upon us, so we get to an annual tradition on Episode 253 of the DBR Podcast! First, the gang opens up by reviewing “Countdown: The Movie,” which debuted over the weekend. We break down some of the parts we enjoyed the most, from JJ Redick as the master of ceremonies to Coach K’s swag, from the new Duke Basketball poster to their remake of Drake’s “Laugh Now, Cry Later” music video and the Duke Booth! We also touch on some of the members from The Brotherhood that make an appearance in the movie, including Frank Jackson’s impressive shirt collection and our desire to acquire the shirt Tyus Jones was wearing!

After the break, we get into the stats game, our annual tradition. Sam and Jason try to take out defending champion Donald

3. Most rebounds
4. Most blocks

We end the show with a question from a reader about the stats game that leads to the gang each taking a category that they will monitor for the season to compare it to Duke’s success.

You can play the Stats Game as well! Let us know your picks on the Forums, and we’ll check back at the end of the season to see who wins!

I would like to change my predictions on DJ Steward starts (can I take 30?) and who will lead the team in blocked shots (JJ... by a lot!).
