Alright basketball team its time to stop sucking each others nutsacs.

To the three freshmen, you guys havent grabbed a single fucking rebound yet this season so wake up.

The key to this season is Javier Gonzalez. Not only does he have to be one of the top guards in the ACC he has to help mold Harrow into a solid backup PG. He has to take the pressure off Lorenzo Brown and help him get good shots so he doesn't feel the pressure of being a go-to guy as a freshman.

Someone has to take CJ Leslie under their wing also. He looks weak, turnover prone, and has no shot selection so someone needs to teach him how to play within an offense so he's not riding the bench in crunch time and going down in flames like another undeserving McDonalds All-American. We all know he has NBA ambitions, but he needs to prove himself at this level if he really wants to get paid.

This team has to achieve this season. Has to.

There is no fucking excuse for a team with a dominant big man like Richard Howell and an All-American PF like Tracy Smith to fucking waste this opportunity.

I already know that Scott Wood will be on fire this year. He is going to be the best shooter in the ACC. He is going to just be a lethal fuck on offense.

CJ Williams is a huge question mark. He excelled late in the season when we turned things around and he was a liability at the beginning of the year when we couldn't win. He has to establish himself as a glue guy this year.

As far as Painter goes its up to him. He can be a standout defender with post moves if he wants to be. If he worked on his game this season we'll have the best frontcourt in the ACC. If he didn't he'll be on the bench.

Vandenburg looked as good his freshman year as Zoubek did. Zoubek was dominating games late his senior year. We'll see if he has motivation to succeed or not too.

Fuck guys don't go 16-15. Don't fucking do it. Win this year.

Strange post. Started off as a call to arms speech to the team then it turned into an analysis of our players then ended by trying to convince the team they should try to win and shouldn't try to go 16-15.

9/27/2010 8:11:45 PM

eh, B-/C+ Rally.

have they been sucking each others nutsacks recently? i haven't really seen The 3 in the media at all in the last month or two.

9/27/2010 8:13:10 PM

Do we have a basketball team? What position does Russell Wilson play?

9/27/2010 8:14:43 PM

I never knew Zoubek becoming serviceable was the same as dominate.

9/27/2010 8:18:22 PM

There is just way too much hype surrounding three freshmen when two of them don't look ACC ready.

I think Lo Brown will be ready from the get-go but we cant afford massive growing pains from Harrow and CJL. They have got to be ready to be solid bench contributors this year it's time for them to stop basking in their recruiting rankings and start working hard.

9/27/2010 8:21:33 PM

LOL at you bumping a stagnant thread to start an argument.

9/27/2010 8:24:31 PM

zoubek actually dominated his first collegiate game but dealt with a lot of injuries during his time at duke.

9/27/2010 8:25:53 PM

mango, what team did zoubek dominate in his debut?

9/27/2010 8:35:55 PM

The correct response is, "shut the fuck up, no one cares".

CJL WILL be in the starting lineup.

9/27/2010 10:00:57 PM

duke doesnt win the national championship last year without zoubek

i think thats slightly more than serviceable

9/27/2010 10:43:59 PM

super cool bball thread bttt during football season...makes a lot of sense, like most of your posts

btw rally, peep the old vick golden god thread...i like how in that thread you act like stats arent important

way to stay consistent in your trolling, mamba

18 and 6 in his first game ever vs colombia
17 and 7 in his 3rd game ever vs unc who had a pretty dominant big man themselves.

9/27/2010 10:53:25 PM

you should post a link to prove your point

9/27/2010 10:58:39 PM

This is the link. I don't misrepresent facts ever.

9/27/2010 11:02:59 PM

hey mamba, how is your snake Kobe doing? somebody said Kobe was kind of sick/ill? I hope your snake is ok.

maybe you could take a pic of Kobe with the current day's newspaper to prove Kobe is ok? I'd hate to have to call animal control. Reptile abuse and neglect is unfortunately at an all time high.

9/27/2010 11:05:03 PM

He's severely old, and not a top10 pet anymore. Its my larger pets that really keep me happy now. They are super efficient and my dog rebounds the paper consistently (something kobe has never done). Lets just say I'm happy despite kobe.

My friends still rave about him only because the degree of difficulty of swallowing a mouse whole is much greater than eating food out of a bowl. Even though eating the food out of the bowl is much more efficient.

9/27/2010 11:09:38 PM

That sounds hunky dory, but I think we would all be more comfortable if you posted a picture of Kobe with something showing the date of today, so we know Kobe is ok.

After all, we have a pretty respectable veterinary school here at NCSU. We are all passionate about the treatment of animals, and honestly if you can't produce something to show that Kobe is in good shape, we would probably have to ban you from the website for not being a good ambassador to our fine university.

I look forward to seeing the picture of a healthy Kobe in the next 20 minutes so I know that you aren't taking advantage of TWW's moderators' kindness.

1983 Championship game is on ESPN Classic if you've never seen it, just started. Posted here because there is no "Thorl Bailey Rally Thread"

Lowe looks goofy in the short shorts and grainy film stock.

Cheers

Is Thorl Bailey some kind of nordic warrior??

we beat GW in today's scrimmage

1-0

10/30/2010 1:14:24 PM

only thing i know about Nordic is this

10/30/2010 1:14:45 PM

^^
Ah, reminiscent of the Herb days. Who scored?

10/30/2010 1:17:07 PM

any details on the scrimmage?

10/30/2010 7:18:47 PM

Tracy and Harrow didn't play because of minor injuries (they should be ready to go for the start of the season). Howell supposedly had 30 points and 15 boards, and Wood had 29 (hitting 7 3's).

11/1/2010 3:24:34 PM

I'm so pumped for this season I could kick my own mother in the face.

Its hilarious to read thru this thread at all the haters.

They shouldn't be allowed to watch this season

oh my fucking god how did Harrison Barnes get picked preseason first team all-american?!?!?

He was only the 5th ranked All-ACC member for god's sake.

What a joke.

11/1/2010 10:41:38 PM

^ Why does it matter? He'll either play good enough to earn the spot or he won't. Him being selected to the team in the preseason isn't going to help him make the team anymore than bitching about it on a message board will keep him off of the team.

11/1/2010 10:58:06 PM

Seriously, who gives a fuck? It'll all get sorted out during the season.

11/1/2010 10:59:31 PM

Which GW was this? Gardner-Webb?

Tickets came in the mail today!!!

11/2/2010 2:12:52 AM

In a thread full of bitching about how bad we suck certain posts stand out.

Quote :

"Feb. 4th, 2010 Despite losing 90% of our scoring and rebounding from last year we are still a competitive team in a tough top to bottom ACC this year. Replace Horner's minutes with an improved Howell. Let Wood gain the confidence to to make a shot or two. Replace Mays, CJ's, and Davis minutes with impact players like Harrow and Brown. That's the recipe for success and it's all taking place next year. It's not going to be next week. If this was a playstation game we'd just simulate the season and start next year already. Have a beer, look for the positives, and hope for an NIT run. Maybe we'll meet UNC in the finals."

What's that word they use for these things? Oh yeah, omnipotence.

Quote :

"Feb. 13, 2010 You guys wanna blow that lineup up? Really? Okay fine, here's how you do it. Keep harping on the negatives and focusing on running Lowe out of town. Then we can get Lo Brown going thru the motions like Fells did, Davis can transfer to the SoCon for more minutes, Cothron can pull his soft-verbal, Howell can leave early for pro basketball (whether NBA or not like Costner), Vandenburg can mail it in to go back to Australia..."

Jesus, I'm basically 2 for 5 in this post already if you substitute Davis transferring to the SoCon to the C-USA. Cothron pulled out late like a kid on prom night. Howell is developing into a professional basketball player... V-burg ultimately heading back to Australia is somewhat likely... is there some sort of way to jinx this post so I dont somehow harm Lo Brown by accident? Sometimes I don't truly understand how much power my mind really harnesses...

Silence, dawn is nigh.

No one believes in you Sidney, you can make it happen this year. Your own fans are saying we can't make the NCAA tournament this year. These need to be statement games.

HATERS EAT MY DICK

NC STATE IS BACK

Fun team to watch for the first time since 1991 when tommy guggernuts dropped 30+ to score 99 pts and beat carolina.

Who said fire herb. Who said back sidballs with cheese last year?

Ride the fucking wave wolfpack attack causing mas destruction don't turn your back on the wolfpack you might end up in a bodybag!!!!!

11/18/2010 7:35:16 PM

You are responsible for the credibility watch.

Now, people like myself who have defended Lowe all along might be able to say something. But it's still way early.

GTFO
