Allen getting booed every time he touches the ball.
Nice

Baylor looks like they are going to be no.1 all of one week
I'm enjoying Dukes troubles so far this season. Will make it all the more unbearable when they're cutting down the nets in April.
Trump is about to be elected.
MS took a big L.
Duke got beat by Florida school.
America losing big starting 2017.
Which MS and what's the big L

I don't think its that big of a deal, but I just don't understand what it was if it wasn't a shove. Like.. that is a shove by every definition of the word.

I want to make this very clear! #givegraysonabreak @ESPN @TDOnline @Warchant @Noles247 @GraysonJAllen @DukeMBB
lol come on man. If he hadn't put out his arms at all he still would've gone flying into that coach and knocked him over. It's instinct to put out your arms to try to brace a fall when you've flying at full speed about to run into something. You're telling me you'd just leave them at your sides all nice and tucked in? It would've been worse for Gates if Grayson had grabbed him instead, which is another common defensive reaction.
Just because we can all watch in in slow motion now doesn't mean there's enough time to even have the thought "gee, I'm pissed off, I'm going to shove this guy".
He pushed, that is what a shove is. He didn't reach out to stop his fall. Its a shove, I can't imagine how you could see it as anything else.
Maybe because the coach himself doesn't see it that way?
A shove signals intent. He did reach out to stop his fall. Reached out right towards Gates. If he grabs Gates to slow down his fall, then this gets really ugly.
Again, where else is he going to put his hands? Towards the ground, so he risks breaking his wrists? Have y'all ever even played any kind of contact sport before?
I mean, whatever you have to tell yourself I guess. My eyes aren't deceiving me.
I'm not hating, like i said in an earlier post, i dont think its a big deal, but i'm kind of baffled anyone would try to defend this as anything other than what it is. He is very clearly shoving his arms out, it is not an arguable thing. Whether there was intent or not, now that is a different story altogether. It may have been a natural reaction, in fact I'd probably bet on that... but to say he didn't even do it? Nah man.
I'm much more offended by your attempts to claim he's not shoving the guy, than the act itself.
It was our lower body that made the most contact. The results from that impact is what put me on my back not a shove.
Imagine if Grayson Allen was caught on tape chatting about sexually assaulting Duke girls with Matt...
Bruins tonight had a school record #19 threes.

This will probably be the best 8-10 loss Duke team K's ever had!
This is going to be a horrendous crash.
If Duke loses tomorrow, they go 1-3 in ACC play for the first time since...06-07
Is that Greg Paulus I see walking through that door?
(ESPN would combust if Grayson Allen and Greg Paulus were on the same team)
Yup. Just need to make more free throws at clutch time.When we're on, we're on. We've got so many good outside shooters too that even if one or two have an off night, someone else can step up.

PAC-12 conference too stronk.. #3 in the nation but still 3rd place in conference correct?
FAKE NEWS, GROVER
They have 2 wins already. Georgia Tech and Boston College.
I really thought Duke would be rolling everyone by now. Think injuries may have thrown them off.
Interesting. What about Frank Jackson? Or is he more of a scorer?It doesn't help that they don't have a true PG. Allen has looked decent in the role in the GT and BC games but its not been consistent enough to suggest its a long term solution. If Duke fans want to be mad at someone, it can be Derryck Thornton's dad.
I'm already over it. I'm not giving up on the team necessarily, but if it crashes and burns then so be it. I'm already more excited about Duke's football team having an actual spring game this year than anything the basketball team is doing. And when you are more excited about a team's prospect when they went 4-8 vs one thats supposed to be a national title contender then it may be a sign that the sport itself no longer interests you.
Duke wining the national title this year in basketball is more interesting in the schadenfreude it will provide Grayson Allen than anything it does for me as a Duke fan.
