State UNC game thread

Since I started the game threads we are 3-0. Since I am obviously the reason we keep winning I will keep doing the game thread. Ironically I will not be watching the game or able to join the game thread as my wife committed me to attend her nephew’s daughter’s baptism. Sigh. That means someone else will need to carry on the nickname “Buckets” and start the new one “Player X”.

I have no idea how this game will go. They will be playing “small ball” and we will be looking to score in the paint. Whichever team is able to force their will on the other will win. We should be more consistent as we will not be relying on the three, so if UNC gets hot we need to minimize the damage and keep our heads. This will be a close but high scoring game. I think we win it 87-83.

    Why on earth is CJ in the game.

    Blame Gott. He has control and isn’t exercising it.

    That was enough rest for whoever came out. Zo, Talibeard, Woo, Purvis, and Buckets for the duration. Please.

    What’s the plus-minus on Leslie this game? He sits and we turn -10 into +4. He comes back and it’s -1 in a heartbeat.

    If Leslie keeps playing we will lose…

    Way to go Howell

    We’ve abandoned Lewis again … I don’t get it

    that FOUR fouls on MCacant

    that’s what we need a CJ JAM !!

    Head case. Leslie needs a therapist.

    But still, Gott has to keep trying to plug him in.

    Brown kills us with his inability to get through screens. Kills us.

    Hey, a CJ sighting!

  12. coach13 02/23/2013 at 5:27 PM #

    Lost faith in Lewis??? Put in WITH Brown.

  13. Wulfpack 02/23/2013 at 5:28 PM #

    Watch out for those shooters. You know it’s coming.

    Leslie got very lucky. We are getting most of the calls.

  14. eas 02/23/2013 at 5:28 PM #

    I agree that Lewis has been abandoned.

    Cjl went into the locker room and got a transfusion of ritalin

    There actually is no over the back rule in the ACC handbook. You don’t have question that. Fact.

  17. GolenbockHater 02/23/2013 at 5:28 PM #

    Maybe the dunk broke the funk and Calvin comes out to play??? If so, Gott goes from dunce to genius… let’s see how it plays out.

    Leslie got away with a travel on his 4th point.

  19. Wulfpack 02/23/2013 at 5:29 PM #

    UNC is a tough matchup for Lewis. Tall guys that can shoot. We need D right now, and Lo is playing very well.

  20. Whiteshoes67 02/23/2013 at 5:29 PM #

    No way Lewis sees the floor rest of the way unless there’s injury or foul trouble. Yet he’s still better battling through screens than Brown. You just can’t let Bullock square up and shoot coming off screens.

    RE: where’s Tyler…. LO has TWELVE assists… so far…

  22. TheAliasTroll 02/23/2013 at 5:30 PM #

    Tyler was getting abused on the defensive end of the court

  23. Wulfpack 02/23/2013 at 5:31 PM #

    What are we doing???

  24. PackAmy 02/23/2013 at 5:32 PM #

    I think that Scott Wood talks a lot of junk and can really piss off some folks. I think it’s funny.

  25. Wulfpack 02/23/2013 at 5:32 PM #

    Bad possession.
