Top 10 Reasons Duke Will Beat UNC In Their First Matchup

Posted in Duke Basketball 08

10. UNC was visibly shaken by their first game against Clemson a legitimate team this season.

9. Duke will focus on shutting down Hansborough and will hold him under 10 points this season.

8. The rotation of Smith, Paulus, and Scheyer will frustrate Ty Lawson. Lawson is quick, real quick, but a little frustration from Clemson rattled his cage.

7. The Devils are quick. Not that quick but quicker than a normal Blue Devil team. Their drive and kick will keep the Tarheels guessing the entire game.

6. The “3 Point” barrage by Dukes shooters can’t be stopped. Between Paulus, Scheyer, Henerson, King, Singler…uh nevermind…the entire team can shoot from down town! Ok, maybe not Zoubek.

5. Revenge. Paulus, Henderson, and Scheyer will want to bring this rivalry back to the Devils side.

4. Singler will have an all time high in his first game vs. the Heels, solidifying his role as the next great Devil.

3. The Devils will play their best defense of the season, holding UNC to under 70 points.
2. Dick Vitale will be covering the game, making it all that more entertaining…or deafening :)

1. Lets be fair, the Heels are good. The number one reason the Duke will beat UNC in their first matchup will be because of a last second buzzer beater.

Duke Blue Devils Versus Florida State Tonight

Posted in Duke Basketball 08

The Devils travel to Tallahassee tonight to take on FSU. Tipoff is set for 7pm.  Duke lost last year in a in a matchup that Scheyer remembers well.

“I think it’s going to be a tough place to play obviously-they will be ready for us and the crowd will be into it-but the main thing is we should love to be in that environment,” Scheyer said.

Many folks remember the game because Redicks jersey was hoisted up to the rafters during halftime.  It will be a tough matchup tonight in a long ACC schedule for Duke.  I think they can pull through with a lot of wins but they have the potential to go missing when it comes to their defense.

Whens the last time you saw the players slap the floor?

The fastest I’ve ever had someone post a comment on a blog and I had to delete it. I dumped the database because I was installing a forum on the site. http://www.duke-redick.com/forums/  Hope to see you back soon!

p.s. looks like we’ll have a new theme specifically to Duke and JJ Redick in about 4 days!

New Forums Coming Soon

Posted in General

I’m looking at installing a forum very soon, in the next few days to encourage participation in the site. There appears to be a small following over at jjredick.net but unfortunately the site is never updated. I actually offered to purchase the site but no go. I wonder if they received another offer?? Who knows.

Anyway, we can’t wait around while others decide to make up their mind so I’m pushing forward. This site will be revamped in looks in the next few weeks, housing more photos, videos, etc. that really evolve around JJ Redick and the Duke Blue Devils.

If anyone has suggestions on running the site I’d love to hear it!

Duke A lot - Virginia A Little

Posted in Duke Basketball 08

The Devils took it to the Cavaliers last night in the showdown at Cameron. King continues to impress as he effortlessly hoist 3 pointers up from wherever he is.  I keep waiting for a “hot” game from him.  His game is a bit ackward, slow, but nonetheless, he can shoot. He doesn’t remind me of Bird but his shot does.

JJ Redick would move without the ball alot in order to free himself and that appears to be lacking in both King and Scheyer. I had pegged Scheyer to be the next Redick as alot of people did but so far I haven’t seen much this year. He’s taken a back seat and comes in as a 6 man.  I firmly believe he was better starting.  I was expecting a bulkier Scheyer this year as well but he looks the same.  As much as I hate to say it and everyone hates me to say it, he has to bulk up, drive inside just like Redick took his game the years before.

By this post its as if the Devils lost :) , don’t worry they won big time.  Henderson reminds of Robert Brickey and jumps out of his shoes whenever he’s near the rim, just sick actually.  Paulas drained threes tonight and the Devils rolled easily past the Cavaliers.
