    MBB: Duke 84, Auburn 78 Postgame Thread

    And you can feel free to express it. Just be prepared to receive feedback in return. I am ok if you disagree with me here. Not the boss of anyone. There is now a thread where all of these things can be discussed without naysayers. That feels like a reasonable accommodation.

    MBB: Duke 84, Auburn 78 Postgame Thread

    Again, if anyone wants to discuss further, PM me. I'll show my receipts for why I feel this way. But be prepared to show yours. I feel like a reasonable accommodation was made for people who want to discuss strategy. But passive aggressive posts are weird. I wasn't passive aggressive. Just...

    Strategy Discussions: rotations, play calling, roster management, and more

    Yes. I can't ask for this thread to be here and then critique it. I just don't want to read strategy/game management/coaching critiques after a W. But I am NOT the arbiter of if anyone gets to have these thoughts, or express them. Hopefully this is a great spot for strategy. I am not 100% in...

    Hard agree. I just detest having to read doctors, lawyers and business folks opine about it. There are people capable of offering critical appraisal. They just ain't here.

    MBB: Duke 84, Auburn 78 Postgame Thread

    I have an idea. What if the closet GMs/basketball coaching savants had a thread where they could post about what plays should be run on offense. What defensive strategy the coaches should employ. Like not kidding at all. Y'all make one of those threads for football and basketball. Y'all have a...

    The longest thread ever

    They have the "Awful announcer" thread. And the very annoying "I'm not going to jinx it" thread (too pun adjacent for me). I participate in none of these. I wish every year there was a "Closet GM/coaching" thread for both football and basketball. People could post about stuff they don't know or...

    MBB: Duke 84, Auburn 78 Postgame Thread

    Counterpoint: it isn't tone policing to point out that people who want to second guess the coaches/plays/defensive strategies aren't possibly capable of knowing this information. Y'all constantly second guess the coaches even though you aren't at practice and have never actually coached big time...

    Duke vs. Auburn (Wed 12/4, 9:15pm ET, ESPN) Pregame and In-Game Thread

    Was wrong about James starting. Also this is Caleb's best game as 6th man. Brown absolutely destroying Broome. Man, Evans and all the Auburn guards are shooting great. Flagg is getting after it on the boards. Incredibly high level stuff from both teams

    Duke vs. Auburn (Wed 12/4, 9:15pm ET, ESPN) Pregame and In-Game Thread

    It's a good point. But Duke is pretty skilled at interior defense this year. So I'm hoping they don't shoot 65% from 2 tonight

    A couple of uncomfortable items to consider: K2's Shooting, Diaz's Status

    Yeah I wondered where this came from when I read it. I did not entreat with this, but this is either a throwaway comment, a joke, rumor mongering or something someone has heard. But it seemed out of place here. This family has a whole passel of boys and I want to get all of them in the Duke...

    Duke vs. Auburn (Wed 12/4, 9:15pm ET, ESPN) Pregame and In-Game Thread

    I agree with you. I also think pretty much everybody is going to double him because most teams just can't do anything with him one on one. It's early in the season, but right now Auburn is burning double teams in the post.

    I love Broome and think maybe Duke plays him straight up with no double. Let him get his. To me the dude who can light you up is Baker Mazara. 45% from 3. And absurd 57% from the field. In today's game, it is hard for a team to make enough 2s to beat you if you have a decent shooting night. My...
