Richmond-Duquesne, Part II

[Eight Legger]

The Dukes lost three starters earlier this year -- Sincere Carry, Lamar Norman and Maceo Austin -- yet still managed to finish just behind us. Better stop them from rebounding like they did against us last time, but we probably won't because we hate rebounding, so hopefully we make a lot of shots.

 

[Gospiders06]

Our shooting basically kept us from losing. Consider how Dukes were coming back at the end. I am looking at the injuries of Golden and Francis. Golden and Francis combined for 27 points last time. Don't how confident I feel about getting those points again.

[Gospiders06]

Another concern is the rebounding. 11 offensive rebounding for Dukes last time. Giving up extra chances is never a good sign.

Rebounding has never concerned Mooney.

 

[Gospiders06]

Basically hope the shot goes in. If not, get back on defense.

He does that on both ends of the floor though.

You got that backwards. It's get back on defense and hope the shot goes in. We retreat as the ball goes up. Watch closely.

don't know how I feel about us having the first game of the day. It will either totally ruin the day or mean we can breathe a tiny sigh of relief already by early afternoon and start focusing on the possibilities of tomorrow

Gilly said it best, "it's now or never."

I'm honestly okay with whatever happens today. It's a weird feeling.

 

[SFspidur]

Blake is out.

 

[Eight Legger]

Reminder that Duquesne is missing three of its five original starters, including its best player. Blake or no Blake, we should win.

unfortunate. Mortal lock..whoops. But gives Mooney more excuse cover we all suspect.

get the W anyway.

 

[SFspidur]

Grant will play, unsurprisingly. Said yesterday they were going to ditch the glove and try a different setup to give him more flexibility.

He should Ronnie Lott that finger...

 

[97spiderfan]

I'm not an athletic trainer but never understood how that glove contraption was going to allow Grant to play. First of all, it stuck the finger out from the others which to me would make it more susceptible to getting banged again, secondly, it basically made his left hand non functional.

Not sure why they just didn't tape the two fingers together and allow him to play like that. Seems like that is the plan today though.

 

[Eight Legger]

Just cast his entire forearm and hand and let him smack the shit out of out of people inside.

 

[SFspidur]

Holding the finger back helps keep it out of the way of contacting the ball when trying to use that hand, but yeah, it also sticks it out there to be bumped from the other side. It obviously wasn't working.

 

[SFspidur]

Goose is in.

 

[SpiderTrap]

No Francis and a limited Blake - we will need Burton and Cayo to get 35 points between the two of them and play the entire game.

Surprise of the Day - Grace comes off the bench, plays 18 minutes and scores 10 points.

Spiders Win - 71 - 65.

what is this streaming on?

 

[Gospiders06]

Our leading scorer Blake Francis is out. I definitely don't feel good about that. 17 points is a lot missing.

the damn announcers already talking about "physical vs finesse" and the Dukes kick things off with a three pointer. Get your drinks ready

[SFspidur]

Nice to see Gilly being more assertive on the offensive end...he obviously has to be today.

 

[spider23]

anyone streaming , mine just keeps saying coverage will resume shortly?

 

[SFspidur]

Trey Burton is back...they should play him and his twin Tyler together.

working fine on nbc through fios

 

[I-M-UR]

While in quarantine were he players allowed to go outside and run? If not why not?

 

[8legs1dream]

things looking great as of now! Seems like we will be fine with Blake out today.

 

[SFspidur]

Sloppy sequence there, but overall looking pretty solid. Winning the battle of the boards so far.

 

[whampas]

For as good as it's going, we're missing some shots we shouldn't.

 

[3genspider]

announcer should be embarrassed for all the incorrect data on francis...gave him credit 20 second monologue about francis using all of gilyards defensive stats

 

[8legs1dream]

announcer should be fired for all the incorrect data on francis...gave him credit 20 second monologue about francis using all of gilyards defensive stats

I was laughing at that the entire time and expecting the other guy to correct him, instead he just replies "YUP!"

 

[whampas]

The dreaded scoring drought.
