we are 13-2 when Dennis scores double figures

GET THAT MAN THE BASKETBALL

flame on, crazy basketball tattoo

2/5/2010 1:01:01 AM

1-7 when he's held under ten points

2/5/2010 1:01:54 AM

hearing that makes baby jesus want to cry

2/5/2010 1:03:05 AM

moral of the story -- we need Dennis to score 10+ in at least 3 or 4 of our remaining games to be a lock for postseason play

2/5/2010 1:03:08 AM

you're probably right

2/5/2010 1:09:04 AM

Getting dennis horner the basketball =/= dennis horner scoring.

2/5/2010 1:13:38 AM

^ aside from the fact that he's 2nd, only to Tracy, in FG%....2nd, only to Wood, in FT%....and 2nd, only to Javi, in 3P%

and in the grand scheme of things, he's not the turnover machine you all make him out to be. he has only contributed 16% of the total turnovers on the season

2/5/2010 1:29:52 AM

Defensive lia-fucking-bility.

2/5/2010 1:31:32 AM

this thread has nothing to do with his defense

there's no denying that whenever he's on the court, he's, at best, our 3rd best defender

2/5/2010 1:34:03 AM

PADDED.

STATS.



INCONSISTENCY.


It's not a matter of "getting him the ball."

FANNIES

2/5/2010 1:43:27 AM

is this just bait for me to trash it because i for some reason have something against you?

2/5/2010 1:43:32 AM

there's no need to lock this at all, dude

this is a valid point -- when Dennis scores, we win. it's as simple as that. stats are facts, and facts don't lie!

2/5/2010 1:51:00 AM

the key is the ncaa expanding to 96 teams

that way we can sneak into the CBI

2/5/2010 1:53:47 AM

when we play games that we should definitely win anyway, dennis scores, we win.

2/5/2010 1:59:22 AM

post season?

lulz...

2/5/2010 7:16:40 AM

Imagine if we had an actual good player in place of Horner as a senior.....

2/5/2010 7:28:09 AM

2/5/2010 8:12:14 AM

it would have been amazing if, in Sid's first few months here, he could have grabbed a player who was considering walking-on at one of the other ACC schools and worked with him and molded him into an all-conference caliber player

2/5/2010 9:50:15 AM

More like:

When we play shitty teams, Horner looks like an ACC caliber player.

When we play team with an RPI<75, Horner is awful.

It's not that in order to win we need him to shoot more morons.

2/5/2010 11:03:54 AM

He's played himself into the lottery this year, where before the season started he was viewed as a borderline 1st rounder

2/5/2010 11:05:04 AM

i still have trouble believing horner will be a first rounder

2/5/2010 11:13:17 AM

tke is a worse troll than mambagrl

2/5/2010 11:46:41 AM

^^ you think? i've seen him projected as a top5.

[Edited on February 5, 2010 at 12:01 PM. Reason : ^^]

2/5/2010 12:01:38 PM

^^ why? because I'm pointing out the fact that we are a totally different team when Dennis is getting the ball and hitting his shots? yeah, that definitely makes me a troll

2/5/2010 12:15:56 PM

^"...hitting his shots"

yeah, and how often does that happen fuckwad? You can get him the ball as much as you want, hes just not good enough to knock those shots down on a consistent basis

"he's 2nd, only to Tracy, in FG%....2nd, only to Wood, in FT%....and 2nd, only to Javi, in 3P%"

so I guess this is a testament to how bad the rest of the team is?

2/5/2010 12:21:32 PM

i have noticed that horner plays his best ball when...

we start jumping and then along with it go "ooooooooooooo" and get louder like "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH" and then switch to "PACK! PACK! PACK! PACK! OOOOOO PACK! PACK! PACK! PACK! OOOOOOOOOOOO! POWER PACK! POWER PACK! BACK THE PACK!" and then play a loud rockin rap song or somethin. i think it would get things crazy.

2/5/2010 12:23:37 PM

The Horner hate is fucking stupid. It's not his fault we have no quality upperclassmen to start in his place. He was NEVER recruited to be a stud. He was recruited as a supplemental piece, much like a Josh Davis.

He should have never been placed in the situation to be a leader on an ACC team and people really unfairly hate on him. If anything hate on the last two coaching staffs who put him in a place his talents don't fit with.

I thought just "trying hard" was good enough for Lowe's players? Why not for Horner?

[Edited on February 5, 2010 at 12:52 PM. Reason : x]

2/5/2010 12:51:22 PM

people shouldn't hate horner for sucking. people should hate sidney for playing him so much.

but tke has demonstrated here that we need a NCSTATEKE'S BBALL KNOWLEDGE CREDIBILITY WATCH thread (as if if his obsession for herbie were not enough already)

2/5/2010 12:57:24 PM

i keep my Herb love neatly tucked in to one daytight thread

i don't let it spill out to other threads like you all make it out to seem

2/5/2010 1:00:33 PM

Dennis Horner is our only chance. God help us.

"people shouldn't hate horner for sucking. people should hate sidney for playing him so much."

probably true. Still would be nice for horner to man up and tell Lowe to take him out of the game since he is sucking. Didn't Javi say he did this for one game? Gotta help a struggling coach make correct decisions.

And i'm not going to try to wade through the sarcasm and/or irony in the original post -- but relying on an improbable event in order to be successful was a classic failing of the last coach and it's a failing of Lowe's every time he wastes minutes waiting for Horner to play well.

People never understood this when it came to Daniel Evans either.

2/5/2010 7:29:53 PM

I haven't paid much attention to BBall this year...I stopped bothering to watch after sitting through the ending of both the Arizona and Florida games.

However, I have watched enough to know that this team is absolute shit, and none of the current "stars" on the team will ever amount to anything besides being a complete fuck up.

2/5/2010 8:24:31 PM

now by "postseason play" you mean CBI right? cause we damn sure aint going anywhere else

2/5/2010 8:30:57 PM

I knew we had a womens basketball team but I have no clue we had a mens team too. Wow. Learn something new everyday.

2/5/2010 8:36:27 PM

come on, buddy! 4 more points FTW

2/6/2010 6:01:32 PM

you just need to get to 10 before Horner activates fury mode

2/6/2010 6:02:12 PM

3 possession game with 202 seconds left!
