Following potential 2015 draftees

No game has ever been in doubt. Opinions vary though, I am sure.
You don't think things would be different if they met again with a healthy Taylor? Do ya think Texas is maybe a little more formidable with him in there?

Sure. I also think the outcome is the same, or worse, for Texas. Did you watch the game?
 
Duke is literally the only team that can come close to playing us straight up.. no gimmicks.

So good call.
What da **** does "straight up" and "gimmicks" mean? Please educate me on these illegitimate methods of winning basketball games.

Straight up means not slapping, grabbing, hacking, slowing things down artificially, etc.

I know it's all about winning.. but how many players WANT to pound the air out of the ball and HOPE to play a game in the 50's? None.
Why do they do it? The realization it's the only way to win. Is that a gimmick? Maybe not... but it's recognizing you cannot play a 'straight up' game and get a win.

Call it whatever you want, guy.

Devising and adhering to a game plan? Every team does that. UK is the most unique team in the country so common sense should tell you that a teams gamplan for playing them will probably have the fewest similarities to any other game plans.

So going back to my original statement. Duke is the only team that can play straight up 'their' game and have a chance.

UK and Duke don't game plan? They don't prey on the weaknesses of others? Holy ****, how good would they be if they did?
 
lol.. whatever.

I call this the most lame attempt to troll. Not your fault though, not much material available.
You're right, there's not much out there, but your arrogance is always among us, especially during this time of year.

Can't speak for Duke, but Calipari has not shown the oppositions game film this year, but rather just works on their own game. Not usual, I know.

And just stop. You know exactly what I mean.. and like I said a moment ago, yours is the lamest brand of trolling.

Probably doesn't want them to get upset at how much better looking the opposing team is, or for the Harrison's to sulk while watching real guards play

Oh, I see.. pot meet kettle.

I make an observation. And that is arrogance? lol

Actually, I am probably the kindest poster on this site in regards to other people's teams. Always congratulate, never trash talk..

It was an observation. You *****.

That was a great post. Are you practicing awful tonight? You win.

And, yes, I HATE the Harrison's sulking.. that part is true.
