I may be the only person but I really do not find defensive basketball boring at all. I have had more fun watching Coach Martin's teams than I have ever had watching any other UT basketball.

The boring part is our O running the shot clock down with passes on the periphery and then clanging a jumper
ahead of the buzzer.

Interested to see how stokes and golden react to the benching they received from CCM. That was a big time message sent.

Does anyone know why Golden was wearing that sleeve on his right shoulder? I'm thinking that may have had something to do with the benching, too. Stokes clearly wasn't playing well, but he did seem more aggressive when he returned.

I don't know, but Trae looks out of shape and heavy legged. He may be a player whose body is already 10 years down the road.

Yemi got Stokes' minutes not Reese. Stokes starts at center and Hall is the 4, not the other way around.

Martin had Reese and Yemi in the game. He subbed Hall in for Yemi and left Stokes on the bench. Now am I wrong in saying that Reese took Stokes minutes? I do not feel I am wrong. That would mean that Yemi and Hall played the four spot and Reese played the 5 according to your thinking. I do not feel that is correct. Reese was the four and Hall and Yemi played the 5. Stokes minutes were taken by Reese.

Hall plays the 4 not Stokes.
Reese subbed for Hall at the 4.
Yemi subs for Stokes at the 5.

When Hall is in the game with Reese then Hall is the 5 and Reese is the 4. When Yemi is in and Reese is in, Yemi is the 5 and Reese is the 4. What you saw is Reese in for Hall and Yemi in for Stokes. Yemi needed a break Martin went to his bench and picked Hall over Stokes. Reese was playing in favor of Hall and Chievous and partly McBee.

Dude I was there. Reese was in with Yemi. Hall comes in and replaces Yemi. Who was playin the five spot? Stokes was in the bench and you say Hall plays 4. Which it is really dumb because regardless of how you number them, hall was in with Reese and stokes sat his tail on the bench. So somebody got Stokes minutes and it wasn't Yemi or Hall. So I guess through process of elimination, that leaves Reese.

Ok, my point is if their had been no Reese then Stokes would have played more. Because, if Reese had not been there then he would have been forced to leave Hall at the 4 and relieve Yemi with Stokes.

K. You are right. Now go ask CM on vol calls tomorrow night if stokes will be losing minutes to Reese down low and let us know what he says.

I said if stokes continues to struggle and Reese keeps improving. I did not say that Stokes would be benched tomorrow but just like idiots who attempt to prove their point without all the information. I made the comment that if I could see Stokes losing minutes if Reese continues to improve and you shorten it to, well you think Stokes is garbage and Reese after one outing takes his spot. I made the comment that I could see it happening because it happened last night. But you continue making half cocked arguments because that's all you can apparently comprehend.

The point you refuse to accept is Reese's minutes were not a product of Stokes' play. Yemi's were. Hall subbing in for Yemi once or twice does not change that.

I think Richardson is safe and Reese can't play center so Jarnell may lose his spot.

This is your quote. First, you don't know the least bit about basketball or football, so it's best not to argue about things you know nothing about. You are the one that suggested Jarnell may lose his spot to Reese in your comment above. Your words. Not mine. And that's freaking ridiculously stupid. I don't care how you preface it.

Now, take your drama back to the ff where you have been arguing about nothing all weekend, or at least grab your alter that you have conversations with so we can be entertained by 2 dumbasses at once.

I guess I see Stokes as a four. It's hard for me to see a 6'8" kid as a true center. You guys are right. I stokes never plays the four spot then Reese never affects Stokes playing time. Not many 6'8" centers in the SEC so I lose focus on Stokes position sometimes.

You sir are an ff idiot. Not sure what that is but apparently you're smarter than my Sewanee education so I will just assume its bad. I made the statement ha Jarnell could lose his spot. That was the purpose of my post. I was under the assumption that our 6'8" center was a strong forward. You see Hall is taller and I just assume that he played the 5. The reasoning I feel stokes loses his job (barring improvement) because he get lost in games versus bigger opponents. For instance, this season he has not had a mediocre game versus a decent opponent. I'm a person on here with one screen name. Suck it spartan. But apparently, I maybe using too small of words for you because you are a genius. I am in 3rd grade while you're in grad school. I know nothing I sports.

Reese is a SF. Figured you thought it meant strong forward because you mention strong forward when confused about Stokes position. Guess what. It doesn't matter. Stokes is a C/PF. Reese is a SF.

But keep arguing. Might as well.

Don't know why you're arguing I said I was confused but you're enjoy shooting your mouth off. I admitted that I got the positions wrong so move on. You still haven't answered if Stokes continues his lack of play versus quality competition then do you think Stokes could lose his position. I feel Yemi is coming on strong and Hall is playing better especially if he can keep hitting the mid range.

Size doesn't always determine position. Skill set does. I personally think Stokes is more of a 4 on the offensive end than Hall but that's not how it has been playing out. A quick little hint is CCM has his 4 man inbound the ball after made baskets. Hall almost always inbounds when the starters are on the floor. When Reese was on the floor he usually inbounded the ball. The guy playing center and the 2 wings usually turn and run after a made basket by the other team.
