Clemson is not good. There is nothing about them that should scare you, if you have a legit fear...it is probably you scared of ourselves then them. They play tonight at GT, while we are resting. I have said this though all season, road-games in the ACC are much much much harder.

To go back to FSU....

Last game against FSU, some of our players had off nights: Kenny Kadji had 3 pts and with Brown and TMJ they combined for 11 points (normally they combine for 29). While we hit our shots well, we did the one thing that should scare you about us WE MISSED 8 FT (11-19 for 58%). You cannot shoot so low in the tournament and win games. Last week, I think the team was also screwed several times by the refs

To all those who think this is a trap game, you are incorrect. It is just a road game in the ACC. Canes should roll easy!

This is what I posted in the fake thread:

Booker is a really good big man but I have confidence that RJ and Gamble will take care of him. Jennings and McDaniels will provide some match up problems. Roper is a pretty good 3-point shooter.

We will need a much better defensive effort than what we did at FSU. That being said, we should roll. They have little to zero depth, and I am not overly impressed with their defense. I dont think they can stop us.
 
Brown and TMJ do not combine for 29 points. No two players on our team combine on average for 29 points. They average to about 16 ppg.

What I like about the team is the best player (in my eyes) Scott doesnt have to do anything. He just plays ball and gets his when he wants them. Polar opposites to Malcolm Grant last year who was a chucker. Also, any given player can step up on any given night. TMJ has had a 20 night, Brown a 20 night, Scott, Larkin, Kadji, Johnson....

It is correct, I will use fruit instead.

Tom has 3 apples and with Rex and Steve they had 11 apples (normally they combine for 29).

I misunderstood you were combining Kadji with TMJ and Brown. Very peculiar combo/trio.

There shouldnt be any such thing as a trap game for this team anymore. They are #3 in the nation, playing for an ACC championship and #1 seed, and they got their "scare" at FSU. Team is focused.

I can tell you straight up, 13-2, up by 12 or up by 3 late, this team or coaching staff were not scared. All the fsu fans around me were talking about how composed we are. Not sure if you could hear it on tv but late 2nd half it was LOUD.
