You must have very low standards for what is considered a genius. Very quick to give up on a kid and throw him under the bus, and then act like you're all knowing. Saw a stat prior to the game that he is responsible for about 38% of the scoring this season whether it is his scoring or assists. The real fact is this team is better with him, even with his bad spells. Shame that some don't see that and despite a few bad plays immediately call for his head.

Really? You must have only watched the 2nd half... because he probably only had a few mistakes in that half...

Until he strings a few consistent games together he's still Hopson2.0. Which isn't exactly a bad thing... it just means you never know what you're going to get. Problem with Golden is that he's the PG... so when he's screws up **cough** **cough** **5 turnovers in the first half** **cough** it can actually not only cost US points but also contribute to the opposing teams points. Whereas with Hopson if he had a bad game it was primarily limited to his offensive production, which sure, hurt us, but it didn't directly help the opposing team.

what is your definition of a few???

i can rattle off quite a few consecutive good games he's had this season.

you do realize this guys numbers are pretty much right on par with the best PG in the SEC this year???

and he's a sophomore, STILL learning the position???

if you expect guys to come in and be stars from day 1 and not suffer setbacks, maybe you should be a UK fan.

then again you'd probably freak out if Anthony Davis didnt have 10 blocks one game.

This is the reason why you wait until the game is over and don't let your emotions get the best of you. I also don't understand why you have to create another thread to call out Golden. Why not just do it in the game thread or do you want attention that bad?

Golden had one of his worst halves of the season in the 1st half and got his stuff together in the 2nd half. He had 6 turnovers total, but couldn't have had many in the 2nd half. I know UT didn't have one as a team in the entire OT.

Sometimes it's best to just wait and watch before getting emotional and firing off. Everyone knows he wasn't playing well, but he made one of the key plays late in the game. Tatum's runner was a huge shot too.

Vs. USC: 21 points, 1 assist, 6 TOs, 1 rbd, 1 steal.

Vs. Ole Miss: 11 points, 5 assists, 2 TOs, 1 rbd, 1 steal.

Vs. Bama: 12 points, 2 assists, 6 TOs, 3 rbd, 1 steal.

Vs. Arkansas: 13 points, 7 assists, 4 TOs, 2 rbd, 1 steal.

That looks pretty damn consistent to me. That's his last 4 games prior to tonight.

his numbers on the season:

13.3ppg 2.8rb 4.6ast 3.0to 45%fg 39%3pt 83%ft

care to guess where each of those numbers would rank amongst the sec pg's???

PPG: #2
RPG: #5
APG: #3
TO: #8
FG%: #2
3PT%: #1
FT%: #2

thats an average of #3.2...so in other words statistically golden is a top 3 PG in SEC...

Hopson had pretty good numbers too... I'm not arguing that Golden isn't a great player (at times). His stats obviously suggest that... However 18 points one night and 8 the next then 20 then 6 equates to 13 points a game on paper but when you have to sit through the 8 and 6 point games after having seen the 18 and 20 points games... it's enough to make you go crazy. Just like Hopson. He needs to learn to be more consistent. Because when he has a bad shooting game, 9/10 he's also turning the ball over too which typically results in a loss for us.

I love how you all like to act like the first half didn't happen. It's not rocket science... This game MADE my point FOR ME!! Normally we have to wait for another game for him to start playing better... fortunately for us, it happen in the second half of this game.

He's a sophomore, in his first year starting, playing a new position.

you really expected him to not be inconsistent?

your expectations were obviously WAYYY too high for Trae. as i said, if you expect fresh/soph to come in and be dominant and consistent game in and game out, be a UK fan.

by most realistic fans expectations, trae has had a pretty good year, and most are very happy with him. too many people are quick to forget that pre season we had NO IDEA what we were going to get at PG.

and newsflash... JARNELL STOKES is the reason UT was in this game late. Otherwise OT doesnt happen and Golden's not the hero and you all that are booming Golden are bad mouthing him to your coworkers at McDonalds or Wendy's tomorrow morning (afternoon at Wendy's... they don't serve breakfast).

I never said he didn't do anything. I am saying the credit for keeping us in this game goes to Stokes. People are acting like Golden went off in the second half. He had a great drive foul 3 point play and he hit clutch free throws in OT (which I've credited him with doing so in previous posts). But again... we're not in OT without Stokes. Give credit where it's due.

I hope you at least got a laugh out of this post. I've done my job if so.

Golden did have a terrible game, but needed him on that 3 point play and hit his foul shots. My hat goes off to him, he didn't let his play bother him when we needed him the most

And we're not in OT without traes defense in regulation

Or this

Or that

Blah blah...I'm not saying Trae is why we were at any point, it was a team effort. Te point is, he once again had a pretty decent game. The turnovers were ugly but he righted the ship and led us to victory.

At the end of the day that's what you want from your PG.

Golden was a wreck with t/o's in the first half. Absolutely redeemed himself in the second. 9-9 at the line and no second half t/o's. VN is a funny animal. For some reason, some want to be the first out there talkin' that smack and it usually comes back to bite them in the ass. I find great humor in it. Thanks, VN.
