More painful…

I still enjoy watching this team play. It is unfortunate that Trae going down has highlighted the teams biggest weakness, the lack of ball handlers. I hope Trae can come back and help this team finish strong.

(yes I get that Trae has not played that great either this season but you can see the difference him being injured makes)

I'm implying that I've made the decision to not be emotionally attached to this team. If Tennessee is playing, I keep updated but typically don't watch. This team is very bad fundamentally, and I have more important things to do.

I probably should have worded what I said differently to avoid confusion.

I love basketball, and I love Tennessee. Those two things can't mix right now, because this team this year is doing an injustice to the sport I love. In the future, I'll learn to control my emotions better, but now I'm content with ESPN's Scorecenter app to keep me updated.

Don't feel bad for me. My life is great whether UT wins or loses at any sport. However, I don't feel it necessary to give my valuable time to something that is unpleasant that is supposed to be entertainment. I still try to catch every game I can, but when the performance is as bad as it was the other night, I don't feel obligated to watch it all the way through. I also am able to get up and leave a bad movie, turn the channel when a TV show is bad, or return my food at a restaurant when it tastes like crap. I must not be a fan of movies, TV or food either.

Well....I'm a HUGE Tennessee basketball fan and never rode on the bandwagon but I only catch bits and pieces of Tennessee basketball. I gave my tickets away to the Georgia game, not because I don't want to support the team, I just have better things to do with my time than get upset the whole game. I tried the whole "Well..I'll just watch to see players develope so I can get excited about next season" but that really doesn't work. I wouldn't care if Tennessee actually played with heart but they don't. I don't hate on Martin but he's made a lot of questionable coaching errors. It's almost like he decided the season was a wash a month or so ago and experimented with the offense with different players and different sets. Maymon going down has nothing to do with Martin's ability to draw a play up at the end of a game or run more stuff. This whole season is a massive let down because all I heard was how Martin was going to throw more of the offense out there. We've went backwards in a major way. I got no problem with that because we return everybody worth mentioning but when you spend the whole game frustrated and mad, it's just not that important to me when I can do other things I enjoy. They could lose every game of the year but play with some passion and concentration (especially in the half court offense) and I'm hooked. This crap that I catch bits and pieces of is horrible.

and FTR, Hubbs is not our basketball savior. He's going to be a highly ranked freshman that goes through growing pains. That's been a lot of the problem with fans and Stokes. 18-19 year old kids can't all handle pressure and the weight of a fan base on their shoulders. But with that said, I really look forward to seeing him play basketball.

Those are fair points. I just feel differently about the issue.

I can dig it. I wish I could watch this team, I really do. I hope Martin can do it next year with everyone back. Heck, it's not even too late this year. I just can't see it though.
